Over the years, he has often been called upon for his piano playing skills. He performed a song (recorded live on set) with Mandy Patinkin in the film Run Ronnie Run and appeared as the piano player in a scene with Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master (where his piano improvisations were also used).
But, it is his abilities on the Theremin which he is fast becoming recognized for. He has played Theremin on albums by Tom Freund, Sean Pawling and The Doubleclicks, and performed on the instrument in Ryan Gosling’s film Lost River.
