Recently described as Òan original composer with something important to sayÓ, Philippe Bodin works to create music both emotionally and intellectually engaging. He shapes his various sources of inspiration Ð the poetry of Henry Michaux and Fernando Pessoa, Ôpataphysic literature, 1960s jazz, the polyphonic procedures of the franco-flemish school and Africa Ð into a sonic experience that has been variously described as poignant, passionate, cool, visceral, groovy, transfixing or serene.
