A rich, multi-layered confection of playful electronic textures, shimmering baroque pop arrangements and memorable guest vocals from the likes of David Sylvian, Yael Naïm. // He scored Hedi Slimane’s fashion shows for Dior Homme twice in a row. Coca Cola Light, Sky TV or Channel 4 have chosen his musics as soundtracks too. The hip-hop producer RJD2 (Def Jux) sampled his music.
