Currently, he his rehearsing with other musicians for some public performances.
__Musical Style
Although The Umma Project music is often referred to as Ambient / Electronica, it has been influenced even more by the Post-Rock (melodic, experimental and minimalist) sounds of the 2000s such as Godspeed You!, Black Emperor, Sigur Rós and Mogwai.
Also, by progressive rock pioneers like Pink Floyd and King Crimson; Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, The Cure, The Church, David Sylvian, Slowdive, and Gustavo Cerati.
The Umma Project music also has long improvisation passages at times and live on stage using their studio instruments that ability is clearly highlighted with extended versions of their songs.
