Electronic music is a more recent direction and switch of soundboards to reflect more personal moods and private thoughts. Whether drifting with like-minded club-based souls, or dreaming alone in darkened bedroom space, this music will take you to an imaginary somewhere. Early works include Root, Planet, Le Vent Nous Portera, White Sign.
