If he recognizes the influence of Theolonius Monk as preponderant in his decision to become a musician, it was on discovering Pierre Henry that he became impassioned by the creative perspectives offered by synthesizers. His technical mastery of the instrument and his musical intuition rapidly brought him recognition by his contemporaries, which provided him many experiences and collaborations as programmer (from Vangelis to Vladimir Cosma), instrumentalist (Steve Hillage, Jon Hassell, Didier Malherbe and numerous African projects) or arranger (Xalam, Salif Keita, Leonard Cohen, Youssou N'Dour). In 1992 he co-composed and co-produced "Eyes Open" for Youssou N'Dour and their collaboration continued for the worldwide hit album "Wommat/The Guide" in 1994. Paralelling these multiple encounters, he followed a more personal musical search which witenessed a first (and so far only) solo album's appearancein 1982, a work steeped into musictherapy under the direction of Dr. Patrick l'Echevin and music composed for performances or for audiovisual (music for the film "Les Pierres Bleues du DΘsert", participation in the OST for "L'Enfant Lion", ads for Christian Dior's Eau Sauvage and Dune, for Kenzo's Homme). In 1994 he arranged and performed "The Lama's Chant" an album of Tibetan prayers sung by Lama Gyurme. Released by Sony Classical in 15 territories, "The Lama's Chant" went gold in Spain and got brilliant reviews all around the world. Titled "Rain Of Blessings/Vajra Chants", a new collaboration with Lama Gyurme has been released by Real World Records in March 2000 . During the last two decades, Jean-Philippe Rykiel has been involved in many pioneering projects - from Salif Keita's "Soro" to "The Lama's Chant" and has gained a reputation as one of the world's foremost keyboard players who also has impressive talents as a writer, arranger and producer. 2003 : "Under The Tree" - Jean-Philippe Rykiel's second solo album in twenty years ! -, consists of ten songs all composed and played by the man himself... Songs are meditative, transportive and spiced with exotic flavours. Rykiel offers elegance, vitality, joy and beauty which, in his case, is spelled m-u-s-i-c. And no lyrics are needed because Rykiel's music says it all. A perfect collection of songs to charm a heart, enlight a spirit and warm a soul. Impressionistic and sunny soundscapes that exudes calming and flowing cohesion. http://www.lastcallrecords.com/stories/jprykiel_gb.html Tracks: 01. Blue World (4:35) 02. Eau De Vie Part I (3:45) 03.
