Space guitar sound whilst processing sound with a story-like flow
like that of a DJ with influences found in P-funk , Electro Techno
, with a Brian Eno vibe and sensibility of Brazilian music , at times
playing the guitar percussively creating improvised robotic house
music , at times playing a sensual guitar solo , but at times very
organic with a soothing acoustic sound and is guaranteed to take you
on a space odyssey.

and painters , avant-garde , improvisational , jazz , techno , hip-hop
, world music , music for film and soundtracks and is also highly
