He looks to challenge listeners’ focus and perception of sound while exploring the experiential nature of sound within the context of composition. He is interested in the interaction among texture, sound, space, microcosm and macrocosm. Since 2015, he has recorded ambient music under the moniker Blanket Swimming, focusing on spontaneity, fluidity, texture, and presence.” (Cruel Nature)
