Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Richard Pinhas – the French maestro of avant-garde electronic music. His latest venture, "Rhizosphere," is a sonic journey like no other. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where machines hum in harmony with nature, and synthesizers speak a language of their own.
Pinhas' signature blend of hypnotic rhythms and otherworldly textures is on full display here, but there's a newfound sense of urgency and intensity that sets "Rhizosphere" apart from his previous work. It's like he's unleashed a musical beast that's been lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce at any moment.
Tracks like "Hypnotic Dance" and "West Side" are a testament to Pinhas' ability to create soundscapes that are at once familiar and alien. The pulsating beats and swirling synths draw you in, like a siren's call from the depths of the cosmos.
But it's not all dark and brooding – there are moments of unexpected beauty and lightness scattered throughout the album. The delicate melodies of "Green Lagoon" and the shimmering arpeggios of "South Side" provide a welcome respite from the sonic onslaught, like rays of sunshine breaking through a stormy sky.
Overall, "Rhizosphere" is a masterclass in electronic experimentation, a testament to Pinhas' enduring creativity and innovation. Strap in, dear readers, because this is one ride you won't want to miss.

With a career spanning over four decades, Pinhas has consistently pushed the boundaries of sonic experimentation, earning him a dedicated cult following and cementing his status as a bona fide legend in the underground music scene. Originally gaining recognition as the founder of the influential progressive rock band Heldon in the 1970s, Pinhas has since embarked on a solo career that has seen him release a staggering amount of boundary-pushing albums that defy categorization. Drawing inspiration from science fiction, philosophy, and cosmic imagery, Pinhas' music is a heady blend of hypnotic rhythms, swirling synthesizers, and mind-bending guitar work. With a discography that includes seminal albums such as "Rhizosphere" and "L'Ethique," Pinhas has consistently challenged conventional notions of song structure and composition, opting instead to create immersive soundscapes that transport the listener to otherworldly realms.

Beyond his impressive musical talents, Pinhas is also a respected scholar and philosopher, with a keen interest in the intersection of technology and creativity.
