Heldon is the pioneering French electronic rock project founded by guitarist and composer Richard Pinhas in the early 1970s. Melding progressive rock, early synthesizer experimentation, and philosophical depth, Heldon became a cornerstone of avant-garde electronic music. Drawing inspiration from King Crimson, Robert Fripp, and science fiction, the group’s innovative fusion of analog electronics and guitar textures pushed sonic boundaries. Albums such as *Interface* and *Stand By* have influenced generations of electronic and experimental musicians worldwide.
