Karl’s collaborations include work with Decibel New Music Ensemble and individual members Stuart James and
Cat Hope on sound and visual projects, Rakini Devi with music production for dance pieces Best Dead and
Don’t Call Me Butoh, live performance and record releases with improvised experimental groups Abe Sada
& Sub Ordnance, remixes for labels Hidden Shoal and ENDE Records and has exhibited installation and
photographic works in a number of group exhibitions presented by the Perth Centre For Photography and Artrage.
Karl’s current creative practice involves sonic experimentation's through his solo music project Reluctant Carnivore,
