MUSICAL PRODIGY CHRISTIAN Richet enjoyed a classical training but it was discovering Pink Floyd’s Ummagumma in his dad’s record collection that provided him with the musical epiphany that set him on his way: “It’s the record I would take to a desert island,” he says.
He grew up in Eaubonne on the northern outskirts of Paris during the 1970s and learned piano from the age of seven. Once he reached his teens, Richet enrolled in piano and percussion at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique. When not creating percussive dreamscapes, he now teaches music professionally.
