Flirting with jazz, rock, contemporary and experimental styles, Christophe’s music takes on whatever images he chooses to produce through his instruments, at once multi-cultural, sensual and impulsive. His music has the electrical power of rock and funk. The sound seems to rise from nowhere under the drummer’s rhythmic impulses. The listener has the impression of hearing several bands at once. The widerange of expression used by Christophe in his music gives him the freedom to make every concert a unique experience.
