The artist Folon has created several watercolors inspired by Michel Colombier's
music, including the main title of a French television station (Antenne 2) for which he used the
haunting oboe solo from Wings, entitled Emmanuel. The Folon Foundation, due open in September
2000 in Belgium, will feature Colombier's music throughout the museum while visitors will
discover Folon's dearest works.
He has written numerous ballets, songs, chamber music, symphonic works, four concertos and four
"video operas." He has worked with an extremely diversified array of artists: Madonna, Kronos
Quartet, Jaco Pastorius, Prince, Herb Alpert, Supertramp, Petula Clark, Roberta Flack, Barbra
Streisand, Johny Mathis, Charles Trenet, the Beach Boys, Branford Marsalis, Herbie Hancock, Bill
