He also recorded a nine-foot Tibetan dung-chen horn (typically used in Buddhist ceremonies). Igorrr has also experimented with a less-conventional approach to percussion.

On "Headbutt", Igorrr used an excavator to play the piano. The first single from the album "ADHD" was released on 3 April 2025.
