Wagner's performances in several countries (Switzerland, UK, Sweden, Japan, Australia, USA) have gained him international recognition for his unique and musical approach to live looping. His main instrument is an electric guitar which he processes with looping devices.

In 2005, he produced the "1st International Loopfestival Zürich" with 40 artists from various countries performing loop-based music over 3 days.

Since 2008, he has played regularly as a supporting act for Nik Bärtsch's Ronin on Mondays at EXIL (formerly at Bazillusclub), Zürich.

2011 he co-founded SONAR, a Swiss post-minimal rock group that published its initial CD on Nik Bärtsch's Ronin Rhythm Records label.
