Seeking to forge connections through music, he is an intuitive improviser who is always experimenting and exploring. Working primarily on the other side of time, he harnesses processed loops and sound interventions using tape recorder, record player, drum set and found objects. Aside from his work with LSD trio, his recent collaborations include performing with RAKESTAR ARKESTRA, recording with scottFree (Rob Frayne and Rebecca Hennesey on Bowl of Notes), and the recently released project by Album (Simone Provencher and Olivier Fairfield on Telephone Explosion).

He holds a PhD in Media Studies from Western University and is an Adjunct Professor in the department of Communication and Media Studies and the Teaching and Learning Librarian at Carleton University. His research explores the connections between cultures of sound, acoustic justice, memory, and subjectivity. His broad musical practice includes improvisation, experimental, electronic, ambient, free jazz, punk, metal, and folk music. He has performed with international artists including Damo Suzuki, Ingrid Laubrock, Tom Rainey, Satoko Fuji, Natsuki Tamura, Instant Places, Phil Minton, and several Canadian experimental and improvising musicians.
