Moving between electronic works, system-driven compositions, and applied sound contexts, his practice explores how new tools and sonic environments reshape musical form, perception, and listening experience. His projects often begin with the construction of systems rather than fixed material, allowing music to emerge through process, dynamic relationships, and temporal development.
