He created Foxy Digitalis to give space to those working at the edges of experimental music, beginning as a print zine in 1996 and eventually evolving into an online platform in 2003. It became a vital alternative to other publications and media, eschewing much of the gatekeeping and elitism that exists as a barrier for many artists to get their work heard and considered. After an eight-year hiatus, the site returned in January 2021 to again champion artists working on the fringes of experimental music, continuing to embody the DIY ethos and asserting its place in the outsider art tradition.
