London-based saxophonist establishing himself on the European avant-garde scene. Known for working across extreme sonic palettes – from minimal to maximal – he constantly pushes the boundaries of the instrument. He collaborates widely in free improvisation and experimental music, runs the Raw Tonk label, and has released numerous solo and group recordings that range from intense free-jazz assaults to deeply focused textural studies.
