His research interests center on sound art, electroacoustic music, and microsound, with a particular emphasis on noise-based compositions. He explores compositional techniques inspired by musique concrète, granular synthesis, and glitch aesthetics, often constructing pieces through meticulous, hand-crafted layering of sonic fragments. His work bridges historical tape-based methods and contemporary digital sound practices.
The recent publications and compositions reflect a consistent trajectory in experimental sound, with works presented internationally at festivals such as BEAST FeAST, Cannes Film Festival, and the International Computer Music Festival.
