Co-founder of the BNNT collective (with Konrad Smoleński), with whom he has been working in the sphere of sound and image since 2008, is debuting with a solo material. In his explorations, he focuses on a minimalist set, seeking new textures and sound colors. He electrifies drums, venturing into technoidal forms and metallic afterimages based on rhythm. Sometimes he wraps aggressive play in grainy, drone-like layers, while at other times he touches on quasi-metal forms. He unconventionally uses percussion, builds reverb, and delves into the realms of raw techno and rough noise music. He balances on the edge of electroacoustics, metal, and industrial, setting his direction with steady sound and ritual form. Together with Patryk Daszkiewicz (DNMSZ), Mateusz Rosiński (JESSICA), and Krystian Piotr (LAS), he co-creates the collective-label HISS.
