The composer collaborated with ELISION ensemble in the years 2003-2010, which resulted in numerous performances, including the 2007 Warsaw Autumn, concerts in Australia, and the UK (Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, 2006). Also of importance was the performance of his inward by Ensemble SurPlus in 2005 at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart.

The composer participated in the ISCM World New Music Days 2004 in Switzerland, Gaudeamus Music Week in Amsterdam in 2002 (honourable mention) and 2003, the International Andrzej Panufnik Young Composers' Composition Competition in Krakow (1st prize), as well as international forums organised by Le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne: FORUM 2000 (Australia/Canada) and the 2001 Rencontres de musique nouvelle (Canada).

His music was recognised in Australia through awards such as the 2003 Albert H. Maggs Composition Award (The University of Melbourne) and the 1998 ABC Young Composers' Award, also numerous performances by leading musicians and ensembles such as violinist Elizabeth Sellars, percussionists Peter Neville and Claire Edwardes, cellist Geoffrey Gartner, flautist Kathleen Gallagher, ELISION ensemble, Libra Ensemble, and Ensemble Offspring, as well as the symphony orchestras of Western Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania.

His composition studies took place in Perth and Brisbane with Brian Howard and Steven Cronin. He completed PhD degree in composition at the University of Melbourne, also having studied at Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien (Austria) under the mentorship of Chaya Czernowin in 2006-07.

He received numerous grants and scholarships from institutions in several countries: ArtsWA, Australia Council for the Arts, The Ian Potter Foundation, and The University of Melbourne (Australia); Le Domaine Forget Music and Dance Academy (Canada); Kulturkontakt Nord (Sweden); Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, Music and Dance Institute, ZAiKS, and The Adam Mickiewicz Institute (Poland).

The physicality of producing sound is the central focus in his works; his approach is directed at the quality of sound through focusing on the player-instrument relationship as the primary source of the musical substance. The compositional method involves close collaboration with performers with the aim to gain in-depth knowledge of performance techniques and instrumental properties. Experiment and searching constitute the foundation of the music, as the composer's main goal is to learn about innate energies and emotional charges contained within various sonic structures."
