He collaborated with trumpeter and composer Tomasz Stańko, setting up the Special Multimedia Quintet in 1984 (Stu Theatre, Kraków). Occasionally, he also collaborates with other musicians (incl. Michał Urbaniak) of the electroacoustic and electronic scene, sound theatre, new jazz, improvised music and other new media arts.
