- Guitarminator: His stage name as a psy-trance musician and producer
- Ruff Duck: A music project in collaboration with singer-songwriter Thomas Kirsten that blends influences from reggae, dub, '70s funk, rock, and Britpop. You can find more insights into his music on the RUFF DUCK YouTube channel.
