He gained recognition for his album *Resonance* (2021) and subsequent performances in unique acoustic spaces.

Doelenplein Delft Square is a historically significant public space in Delft, Netherlands. Originally a 17th-century canal, it was covered over in 1886 to create more urban space and improve hygiene. The square is directly adjacent to the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), where members of the Dutch Royal Family are interred, and faces the City Hall of Delft. It’s a central location within the city used for markets, events, and pedestrian traffic.

The square's paving incorporates a distinctive pattern reflecting its history as a waterway; remnants of the old canal walls are sometimes visible. Its relatively enclosed nature and surrounding historic buildings contribute to unique acoustic properties which may influence performances held there. Concerts on Doelenplein are not unprecedented but are relatively infrequent due to logistical considerations relating to sound management within the city center.
