Sharp composes, records and engineers all his music by himself;[ 3] while he originally intended a studio-only project due to his distaste for touring,[ 6] [ 7] Sharp performed a short tour in 2014 with Intronaut (who acted as his backing band)[ 8] and Tesseract .[ 9]
Sharp announced a new side project with Gospel 's Vinny Roseboom named The Supervoid Choral Ensemble in 2023.[ 10]
