He uses low-tech instruments such as an instructional Japanese language course package's microphone, an amp, a guitar, and experimental electronics in his recordings which explore the relationship between language and sound. He has released one album, Handwriting, in 2004, as well as three EPs and a single between 2003 and 2009.
Since then he has begun to diverge from his more popular melodical electronic sound, and gone towards a more rhythmic form of his own genre.
Khonnor actively promoted his music on the Soulseek file-sharing network since it began. His debut album, Handwriting garnered a 9 out of 10 record review in NME, and received good reviews in several major newspapers and publications such as The New York Times.
