About
Marc Leclair (born August 13, 1966), better known by his stage name Akufen, is a Canadian electronic musician. His music is electronic music that is often described as minimal house, minimal techno, glitch, or microhouse.
His 2002 debut studio album My Way introduced his concept of "microsampling", which was essentially a way of using extremely small and short clips of samples he had randomly recorded from FM radio broadcasts as a key musical element.
Leclair's pseudonym comes from the French word for tinnitus (ringing of the ears), acouphène, and he has also gone under the pseudonyms Horror Inc., David Scott, Nefuka, and Anna Kaufen.

Akufen est un artiste montréalais. Il est un des inventeurs du courant microhouse en musique électronique[réf. nécessaire]. Ses maxis sortis sur les labels Oral, Hautec, Perlon, Trapez, Revolver ou Background, avant la sortie de son premier album sur Force-Inc (My Way), l’ont propulsé vers les plus hautes sphères de la musique électronique[passage promotionnel]. Il codirige maintenant le label Musique Risquée[réf. nécessaire].
