He is focused on rekindling intrigue for the details that define a place, on listening closely to minutiae of everyday sonic life in an urban world of crowded noises. This tension of a hybrid identity, recontextualizing sonic materials from their native tradition to a modernistic setting is at focus of his pieces, he tries to bring forth an immediate experience through which the audience re-examine their conception of music as well as their sonic environment. In his sound installations and sound sculptures, he concentrate on an embodied cognitive and immersive experience of sound through stimulating sensations of audience.
