** ''Garden of Delete'' itself is pretty weird too. A lot of tracks have short pauses, which range from samples of other songs, electroacoustic guitars to distorted synths, [[MoodWhiplash drastically change key a lot]], and one song is just RepetitiveAudioGlitch taken UpToEleven to an almost djent-like timbre.

His earlier work, composed largely of harmonic and glacial drone compositions, reminiscent of the works of Music/{{Vangelis}} or Music/BoardsOfCanada's more ambient moments, has given way in recent releases to a more obtuse, sample-based style, revolving heavily around microsecond-based vocal edits, ''musique concrete'' techniques and manipulation of pop structures. He replaced Music/DeathGrips as the opening act for the Music/NineInchNails / Music/{{Soundgarden}} summer 2014 tour. In 2017, he composed the soundtrack for ''Film/GoodTime''.
