He has just released an album, a musical love letter of sorts entitled « APHEXionS », reinventing pieces from the electronic music prodigy. Aphex Twin's music serves as a starting point for Dumont's musical developments which are sometimes composed and often improvised, letting him find his own playing field around the concepts and the poetics of the genius of electro music.
Lefto Early Bird recommends Dorian Dumont:
"To see Dorian Dumont’s project is like watching two worlds coliding, where classical meets electronic! It is also a message to people who still think in boxes, well guess what, it’s 2021 and there are no boxes anymore for this new generation of musicians who have no intention to stick to the regular program. Playing Aphex Twin is the right introduction to electronic music and if that’s Dorian’s choice I can only look forward to what will be his next project!”
