Philippe Eidel began his career working with groups like Taxi Girl and especially Indochine, in the middle of the new wave/synthpop period.

He moved towards world music and then collaborated with various artists such as the singer Khaled or the director Peter Brook, with whom he produced the album The Mahabharata, which is not the soundtrack of the film of the same name. Philippe Eidel then became passionate about old and traditional instruments.https://www.elwatan.com/edition/culture/musique-philippe-eidel-un-illustrateur-sonore-du-metissage-un-raiman-sen-est-alle-16-09-2018p{{Dead link|date=April 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.elwatan.com/edition/culture/musique-philippe-eidel-un-illustrateur-sonore-du-metissage-un-raiman-sen-est-alle-16-09-2018p |title=Archived copy |access-date=2022-03-27 |archive-date=2022-03-27 |archive-url=https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20220327200743/https://www.elwatan.com/edition/culture/musique-philippe-eidel-un-illustrateur-sonore-du-metissage-un-raiman-sen-est-alle-16-09-2018p |url-status=dead }}
