While traveling through Africa and Asia and during stays in Alaska, he took on the influences of traditional music, especially those of the natives of North America. His compositions were u. a. performed at the University of Brazil's Open-Air Festival for Electroacoustic Music and at the Berlin Festival for Contemporary Music; many works were recorded on CD.
