As a musician, he is a prominent figure in contemporary electronic music, having released numerous studio albums such as Prototypes, Transform, and the Xerrox series. His musical contributions extend to high-profile film scoring, including work on the film The Revenant alongside Ryūichi Sakamoto, which received nominations for a Golden Globe, BAFTA, Grammy, and Critics' Choice Movie Award.

His work has been presented in prestigious international spaces, including the Guggenheim in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Modern in London, and the Venice Biennale. His solo exhibitions have been held at various institutions, such as the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt and the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin.
