Album Notes

His third album Zeff was released in October 1992, for the label Tangram.

ZEFF:
The title of the album is derived from Zephyr, and is also the name he gave to a plastic, circular bass flute which he played for VANGELIS on the soundtrack of Ridley SCOTT's movie "1492 Conquest of Paradise" as well as on the daily jingles for France Television 3 . The album was acclaimed with a ffff in Telerama, one of the best french awards.

Having spent many years absorbing musical and rhythmic influences from around the world, Didier developed an avid interest in collecting exotic instruments, each of which offers the opportunity to explore and embrace new styles of playing and approaches to composing.

In the ambience of the freaky revolution in Paris in May 1968, he met Australian singer, guitarist and poet, ex-Soft Machine member, Daevid Allen with whom he was to create GONG. This international community band incubated in Deya, Mallorca, and toured France and Europe before it was taken on to the British scene starting at the first Glastonbury Festival in June 1971.
Virgin Records signed them, and their album Camembert Electrique hit the charts.
