Roser moved to New York in the 1980s where he met artist Nina Kuo and began many artistic collaborations with her.

Besides animations and music, he also designs book covers, most recently for Digital Media: Transformations in Human Communication by and Lee Humphries.

As he continues making art, Roser is moving into 3D animations, melding music and form with the digital world. He states, "Visualization is a great tool for architecture because building bricks and mortar is so expensive and computer animation mimics the unfolding of space as you walk through a building. Now I am obsessed with using math to create music and form. The computer excels at this type of exploration."^[1]
