By that time, he also started his cooperation with Kyoko Baertsoen, resulting in her first full solo-album KYOKO released on Mach 8, 2017.

A few months later, Silent Noise Revolution was picked up by Nils Frahm, and featured in Nils' "piano day 2016" playlist. Also in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, Silent Noise Revolution was again selected by Nils Frahm.
