He draws from his part a pathway refusing insistently the stylistic labels. Never exulting as much as when it becomes impossible to put a name on the musical content, he seeks above all that the "mixture" makes sense, He takes the listener towards unexplored sound universes, as for example with his big trash band "United Colors of Sodom" that he lead and for which he is totally committed.
