In a 2018 interview with Australia's "Broadsheet", De Backer said, "You can dial in an incredibly wide range of sounds on the ondioline, and the unique mechanics for playing it allows you to create sounds very sensitively and with a musical deftness I just feel isn't present on most other electronic instruments from the '40s — or decades since." On 13 February 2018, De Backer and his Ondioline Orchestra performed "Circuit Breakers: Gotye Presents a Tribute to Jean-Jacques Perrey" at Roulette's Mixology Festival 2018, in New York.
