Richard Pinhas is a French composer, guitarist, and synthesist born in 1951. He is known for his contributions to electronic rock music as the founder of the band Heldon. With a background in philosophy, studying under Gilles Deleuze and Jean-François Lyotard, Pinhas brings a unique perspective to his musical creations.

Pinhas' music explores the boundaries of sound and technology, blending elements of rock and electronic music. His compositions are characterized by intricate guitar work and innovative use of synthesizers. As an artist who pushes boundaries, Pinhas has established himself as a pioneer in the genre.

In addition to his work with Heldon, Pinhas is also recognized as the owner of [l292014], a record label that showcases experimental and avant-garde artists.

Richard Pinhas is one of the most uncompromising artists on the international rock scene, having remained constantly innovative and true to his personal artistic vision for 40 years. He founded the legendary 70s band Heldon, whose albums are considered some of the earliest releases of 'electronic rock' extant. He is one of France's best known experimental musicians and is a key figure in the international development of electronic music fused with rock. This new album features him in collaboration with well known avant-garde / experimental music names like Lasse Marhaug and Oren Ambarchi, (both of whom have collaborated with Sunn O)))], Noel Akchote and Etienne Jaumet (half of the French duo Zombie Zombie). The styles range from spacey drones to psychedelic guitar rock to lurching, overwhelming mechanical racket.
