Curious about approaches to other artistic disciplines, he has also composed and performed music for dance, theater, and poetry. Since 2021, he has dedicated himself to « wild instrument making, » building musical instruments using recycled materials, and leads workshops to learn how to build and play them in groups: www.joueatonrythme.ch. In 2023, he founded « The Post-Garde Freaks Orchestrum, » an eight-piece ensemble playing a repertoire composed for instruments made from recycled materials. Their music is inspired by the worlds of Harry Partch, Charles Ives, Edgar Varese, and Frank Zappa.
