In addition to my solo projects, I have collaborated with several other artists either as one-offs or over certain periods in my career.
One of the more lasting ones was with NICHOLAS SILLITOE and our ILLUMINATION project, plus our remix-moniker CHILLUMINATI, both which operated from the mid nineties until the early noughties.
The other one was with AGGIE PETERSON under the name FROST, which lasted about a decade from the early noughties.
I’ve also done quite a few remixes under my MENTAL OVERDRIVE name, and added some noise or beats to other artists’ recordings, and toured in different constellations.
The selected works below is a excerpt from a more complete list that can (mostly) be found on DISCOGS (follow the list of pseudonyms – I only have one release listed released under my own name).
