I don't know myself, but the description of his music reminds me very much of the brief 'Free Jazz' movement of the late 1960s to mid 1970s.

'Free Jazz' was music with no rules whatsoever. Total improv, all harmonic rules thrown to the winds, rhythm tossed out, even written music dispensed with. The result, IMHO, is some of the most utter GARBAGE I've ever been subjected to.
