In 2005 he moved back to impro-jazz saxophone, taking private lessons during the years. He attended workshops by William Parker, Szilard Mezei, John Russell, Walter Thompson, Tim Berne and played live sets in different places with bands such as ‘Improvvirusoundexperience’, ‘Kongrosian’, ‘Berlin Soundpainting Orchestra”, “Mountweazel” and “Echo Chamber”.
