Seasonal Affected Beats:

He’s performed at various local and international stages like Magnetic Fields Festival, NH7 Weekender, Roskilde Music Festival, Jazz Cafe, London to name a few.

Referring to what he does as ‘improvised electronic music’ , Seasonal Affected Beats’ immersive live performance brings together the finesse, controlled volatility, discipline of jazz and merges it with malleability of electronic beats and live visuals.
