Sounds Like: An amalgam of modern classical, renaissance, baroque, orchestral, chamber music, string quartets, baritone guitar, extended baritone 12-string, fretless guitar, 12-string guitar, acoustic guitar, experimental instruments, experimental music, ECM Records, early music, solo piano and other solo and duet settings.

The Kastning-Szabó duo projects with Sándor Szabó are experimental chamber music compositions using experimental, one-of-a-kind guitar instruments of our own invention.
The KastningSiegfried project charts new directions in acoustic music and composition which challenges categorization.
The chamber compositions are arduous to describe. My music has been featured in the past few years on an Australian Public Radio show called "Difficult Listening," and that may be an apt descriptive for the non-guitar compositions.
To answer the "sounds like" question, listen and then decide for yourself.
