"Daniel de la Nuit" is a book/record for kids composed by the french musician Funken. An illustrated story imagined by Carmela Chergui and Timo Hateau (44 color pages - format 16x23 cm - French). Daniel is a nice little squid, everyone will tell you that in Villeneuve-la-Roussette. But today, it's something else. It's nighttime, and he refuses to go back to sleep. And it's not just any night! It's the Night of the Periwinkles! Taking advantage of a moment of inattention from his father, he escapes from home and wakes up the villagers one by one... Set to music with tenderness and illustrated with humor, this nocturnal odyssey will appeal to any type of invertebrate as well as their parents. 

For creating the music for Daniel dans la nuit, Funken (Julien Sénélas) drew inspiration from American minimalist music of the 60s-70s, known as "repetitive music." He employed his modular synthesizer to generate polyrhythmic patterns and a miniature synth: the 2021 Pocket Piano, whose arpeggios symbolize Daniel's evolution in this underwater night.
