The Cloud Making Machine
2005 · F Communications
What Bashung's turn gave me. I did not want to make another techno album — I wanted to write for choreographers and for cinema. I listened to this one thousands of times while making it, and it opened those doors.
The Man With The Red Face
2000 · F Communications
My way into jazz. I cut it with my saxophonist during a stretch when I was deliberately pushing at the edges of what I already knew how to make.
Dealing With the Man
2009 · PIAS
A blues of my own. Played live with the band, at Pleyel or anywhere else, it brings something human and sweaty into the concert that I would not want to do without.
