About Me


Tout ce que je sais de plus sûr à propos de la moralité et des obligations des hommes, c’est à christöphilax que je le dois."
--- Albert Camus
"Bedroom autism meets dark room aneurism, as it were. [A] juxtaposition of etymology and sonic entomology."
--- Robert Poss (Band of Susans)
"I have to say how much I enjoy christöphilax’s recordings - a chance to cleanse the ears to begin the day and work through some immersive soundscapes. Highly intense and fulsome indeed! What a bumper series of surrealistic adventures."
--- Robin Rimbaud/Scanner
"the work of christöphilax in the age of mechanical reproduction kept going in my head for some while after I turned the stereo off."
--- Adrian Shaw (Bevis Frond, Hawkwind, Magic Muscle & The Crazy World of Arthur Brown)
