Currently he is starting a PhD in Cognitive Musicology at Gent University in Belgium and a Doctorate in Arts from the Orpheus Institute in Gent.

He has written chamber music for varied combinations of instruments with and without electronics. His music has been premiered in Mexico, Netherlands, Ireland, England, United States, Germany and Spain. He also participates as part of an improvisers ensemble based in The Hague playing piano and analog electronics.

The sources of ideas for his music span from the literary to the mathematical, including the processing and messing up of other pieces and styles of music. The music is abstract with many cultural references so that many false impressions may arise in the listener.
