His relationship to space is much like that of an electro-acoustic composer who composes music for performers and/or tape. The instruments he builds are the offspring of his study of the physical properties of metals and his experience in sculpture. His original reasons for instrument building stemmed from an interest in improvisation. Beginning with improvisations on found objects, his alteration of these objects for musical purposes combined with an abiding interest in electronic sounds to generate instruments which he calls Electroacoustic Percussion Boards (EPBs).
