His latest collaboration is being one half of the cinematic ambient duo: <a href="spotify:album:2qJtkuqhIiqOUBuiGnYv0q" data-name="Montane District">Montane District</a>.
With his own project, <a href="spotify:artist:6ZleQ0zFye6mlPuYBpQaGP" data-name="New Channel">New Channel</a>, he draws on his favourite influences that range from 60's exotica, punk and dub to deep house, techno and ambient electronic music. In the studio he works with random sound bites, noise, synthetic washes, guitars, bass, drums that are combined with vintage audio gear and modern studio software. Sounds are chopped up and layered into smooth, flowing trips. The results range from bright, uplifting chillout tracks to dark, dubby, moody soundscapes. More sounds at: soundcloud.com/newchannel
