Who has been the battery of the Wilco and Loose Fur He also maintains a trajectory with some solo and collaborative works where he has taken percussions to minimalist, contemporary, improvisation or gamelan and african music fields. Let's listen to his first works "Next" (2002) and "Introducing" (2002) where he used his percussion equipment to extreme themes between minimalism and improvisation. With the Fred Londberg-Holt Trio will contribute drums, cello and double bass to "A Valentine For Fred Katz" (2002). It will be with "Mobile" (2006) where he will sign his magnificent work as the author of the minimalism of Steve Reich together with the influence of African and Indonesian native music of the Nonesuch Explorer Series. We add a review of the theme of Terry Riley since "In C Remixed" (2010) and with "Adventureland" (2014) we find a new complete work where he wraps himself with percussion, cello, violin and piano. From "Ilimaq" (2015) he performs on percussion compositions of John Luther Adams and in "Vespers For A New Dark Age" (2015) he joins pianos and keyboards by Missy Mazzoli, Victoire and Lorna Dune. We finish with "Drumkit Quartets" (2016) together with the formation. So Persussion experimenting with percussive sounds and rhythms.
