YES I really liked this guy’s setups. I have more of his stuff: I’ll post it later in the evening if I remember. He posted stuff on bandcamp under the name of (ironically) Indeterminate.

He had some creative set ups. I'm a big fan of hum.

Contact mic attached to a 24" carbon fiber bar circa 2004ish.
Handy when reaching for that something you couldn't reach.

This one in particular really inspired me back about a decade ago-onwards: he's basically shorting tip to sleeve with various bits of metal to get "chunking" noises (that's how he put it IIRC). It's a primitive yet underused technique; opened my eyes to the breadth of creativity possible within a 'noise' context.

IIRC the black circle in the bottom left of this last photo was to cover up a small mound of weed. Cunt said he got some cool noise(s) by scraping the big rusty spring located underneath the keyboard.
