Rykiel first came to public attention via his synthesizer duets with Tim Blake as part of the Crystal Machine audio-visual project in the late 70's, which staged large events involving music and laser-based light shows in France and Japan[1].
Later he spent much time collaborating with world musicians, notably Mali singer Salif Keita[2], Tibetan monk Lama Gyurme and Senegalese singer and percussionist Youssou N'Dour.
In 1992 Rykiel composed and performed music for the soundtrack of Les Pierres bleues du désert, dir:Nabil Ayouch
Rykiel and Blake reunited as Crystal Machine to perform at the Gong Unconvention Festival in Amsterdam in 2006.
