He also works with experimental or unclassifiable musicians such as Zbigniew Karkowski, Dror Feiler, Art Zoyd, Eliane Radigue, Phill Niblock, Francisco Lopez, Ulrich Krieger, z’ev and others…….. and through all those years he has collaborated with numerous projects of contemporary dance, always proposing live music
