He was at the origin of the coming to Paris of other important composers of this movement: Steve Reich in 1971 at the Théâtre de la musique and, within the framework of the Festival d'automne, Phil Glass in 1973, Robert Ashley and the "Sonic Arts Union" in 1974.
The Shandar catalogue, which was entitled "Tomorrow's music today", includes Albert Ayler, Sun Ra and Cecil Taylor as well as the known American minimalists Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Phil Glass, and also several records of French musicians (Intercommunal Music[4] by François Tusques, the duet Guitares Dérive [fr] by Vincent Le Masne and Bertrand Porquet, Obsolete by Dashiell Hedayat with the group Gong).
Under the name Un nouveau courant ("a new current"), he organized for France Culture, at the youth Biennial of the Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris, two series of concerts in 1980 that shed light on a musical approach deviated from the minimalist music that can be described as "postmodern" with, among others, the English Gavin Bryars and Michael Nyman, and the Californians Harold Budd and Daniel Lentz.
At the request of Patrice Chéreau, he set up, with Alain Crombecque [fr], in 1984 and 1985 at the Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers, the twenty-five concerts that made up the Journées de musiques arabes.
In 1995, after devoting several radio broadcasts to the American composer Harry Partch, with whom he had a correspondence in the early 1970s with a view to organize a concert in France, he could finally realize this twenty-five-year-old project at the "Festival America" of Lille.
