The album 3-4 is the perfect illustration of this.

Among his influences, we can cite Terry Riley, Philippe Glass, Hiroshi Yoshimura as well as François de Roubaix, Jean-Jacques Perrey or Pierre Bastien.

The warmth of the sound and the strength that emanates from it make this album a gem of minimalist electronic music.
