In addition to the work as a visual artist, musical releases appear at irregular intervals under the names ToiToiToi and Sebastian Counts. The extremely detailed and lovingly produced music is fed by samples, synths and the most diverse electronic and acoustic sources and explores the contrasts between folklore and modernity, between wilderness and civilisation.

"The combinations of instruments are strange, the compositions odd, yet it’s also bold and his melodies just seep into your consciousness feeling like they have always been there. A truly strange and beautiful work."
– Cylcic Defrost
"...invitingly peculiar and such a strangely satisfying experience." – Concrete Islands
"... voices from the ether, synth lines, analogue keyboards and percussion built from indefinable sources. Brilliant." – Rumore
"Sounding like nothing else around, if you play this to your friends you will probably be greeted with a few ‚What the hell?‘ stares." – Kultur Magazin
"Vaganten blurs the boundaries between old and new, eerie and quirky, electronic and acoustic, and is unlike anything else you'll hear this year." – Aquarium Drunkard
Puzzled Waves
The material for the live performances under the name Puzzled Waves is the current radio broadcast. Fragments are extracted, processed, and reassembled in real-time to create new patterns. This results in expansive collages or rhythmic compositions. The pieces are always improvised and never reproducible, as chance determines what is being played and spoken on the radio at the time of the performance.
