He also played some of his field recordings in Chelsea Bridge as well as some of his favourite records and own releases. He loves jazz and vinyl, and in his style merges noise, jazz and funk from different approaches and these recordings are full of energy. He used to live in Elephant and Castle and is well familiarised with the area.

His lo-fi compositions and field recordings are full of interesting nuances. He uses to play versions of famous experimental musicians at Cafe OTO and other venues. The whole session was directed by Rory and Ecka on the stage and they also played some vinyls for us, it was interesting and fun.

They are also interested in sculptural electronics having created a couple of installations, one of them that launches table tennis balls around the venue becoming a controversial piece among the attendants to the exhibition.
