Dorian Dumont plays Aphex Twin

Dorian Dumont

After studying classical at the Montpellier Conservatory, Dorian Dumont focused on jazz and improvised music. In 2008 he arrived in Brussels for jazz studies, where he has not left since. Dorian Dumont is constantly looking for new sounds and different influences, refusing to focus on one genre. So that he always has an unlimited choice of how he can express himself musically. In recent years he has been making waves with his band ECHT!, which blurs the boundaries between jazz, electronic music and hip hop.

New album

After his first 'Aphex album' APHEXionS, Dorian Dumont will release a new album on February 23, 2024 on which he once again reinvents the pieces of Aphex Twin on piano. Based on the music of this electronic music wonder, Dumont creates his own compositions and improvisations. In this way he finds his own musical place next to the musical, poetic world of the genius of electro music.

Aphex Twin

Aphex Twin, or Richard D. James (born in Ireland in 1971), is a pioneering producer in electronic music, whose great influence extends far beyond the boundaries of this genre. In 1991 he established his reputation as an innovative producer with his debut album Selected Ambient Works 85-92 . Aphex Twin's music is characterized by complex rhythms, layered melodies and a mix of constantly new, organic and electronic sounds. From ambient to IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), acid, breakcore and more. The common thread is constant: experiment, alienation and surprise.
