His journalism has appeared in The Wire, The Quietus and Bandcamp Daily among other publications. He has also produced radio programmes, podcasts, mixes and experimental works for the likes of BBC 6 Music, Worldwide, Resonance, Barbican, Do You Radio and Radiophrenia.

His compositions often employ found sound, investigate inaudible frequencies of the audio spectrum and the potential for electromagnetic waves to convey information, as well as ideas relating to imperceptibility.
