In recent years KK Null has concentrated his efforts on exploring the outer territories of electronica, creating intense clashing wave of noise, structured electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics, scattered pitch sculptures, droning isolationist material, which could be described as "cosmic noise maximal/minimalism".
