The significance of Richard Pinhas in France corresponds to that of Edgar Froese and Klaus Schulze in Germany: he is the founder, the father figure of electronic music. In contrast to Jean-Michel Jarre, he never gave himself to commerce, never allowed himself to be seduced by theatrical gestures, always remained true to his spirit of research. Since the early seventies he acquired an enormous reputation with his bands Schizo and Heldon and later with countless solo albums.
And even after almost 50 years of a career in music, he is still committed to experimentation. Now Pinhas presents two new albums: "Mu" is a collaboration with the Californian electronic musician Barry Cleveland, "Process And Reality" was created together with the Japanese noise avant-gardists Merzbow and Yoshida Tatsuya. eclipsed talked to the pioneer not only about music, but also about his philosophy and world politics.
