The self-proclaimed 'Mad Hatter' of French electronica is anything but: his meticulous instrumental compositions reveal a sobre mastery of electronic production, every note interlocking in an intricate ambient texture. Chapelier Fou is equally at home on the violin and with synths, imbuing his electronica with a live classical touch that raises it above the average. In concert, he records all the parts on the spot, looping them to build soaring multi-layered tracks. Head to the Café de la Danse on October 14 to see for yourself.
