In addition to his sound research, he also worked as a director, performer, musician and composer for various theater productions. In the following years he performed with solo and duo projects at new music festivals (Musica Viva, Klangaktionen, etc ...), jazz, experimental music, among others.

As a soloist, chamber musician and ensemble player, as a member of a band, a tango quintet, behind a DJ set, in free improvisation or in the recording studio in an electronic music production he crosses all musical boundaries. Georges is characterized by an extraordinary authenticity in a variety of musical styles.

Recent musical highlights include Jürgen Grözinger's setting of drums, tape recording and violin with live electronics, a ballet production by the Ulm Theater under the direction of ballet director Roberto Scafati (season 2017/18), the opening of Posterboy of Antikunst by the Austrian artist TOMAK in Graz with John Cage's Freeman Etudes and the beginning of the season in 2018 with the performance of Giacinto Scelsis Anahit at the Scelsi Festival in Basel. Georges has also participated in 2 CD productions that have been released in 2017: the classic jazz fusion album Sound of a Poem with singer Esther Kretzinger and the classic label Gramola (Vienna, also available as vinyl record) and Assassinous Act with the Kieler Music producer Morgen Were and the ambient label Time Released Sound (Oakland, California).

Georges deals extensively with electronic music and is currently completing his expertise in this field with a Max / MSP certification at IRCAM in Paris. Since 2015 he is a member of the artists and scientists collective EMU - Experimental Music of the University of Ulm, where he actively participates in art and research projects.

With Classic Concert Records, Georges has later released several CD recordings, including the CD Solo Sonatas, which contains a unique recording of Bartók's solo sonata in the original version.

As a lecturer, he was a regular guest at music universities such as Shanghai Conservatory of Music, China Conservatory Beijing, Chinese Culture University Taipei, Zhejiang Normal University, and Zagreb Music University from 2011-2015.
