Musical approach
Julien is often described as a minimalist experimental musician when he plays his ambient music performance or when he plays more syncopated IDM. He's very influenced by Autechre, Aphex Twin but also, according to his ambient music, by Brian Eno or Pete Namlook. He used to create his own tools which are often also distributed over the net.
