Belem & The MeKanics

RELEASE // BENELUX+UK : 3 NOV. 2017 // FRANCE : 2 FEB.2018 

BELEM & the MeKanics, is the new project of Didier Laloy.

In BELEM & the MeKanics, the instrumentation Decap used is an orchestral ensemble of acoustic organ pipes, accordions and percussion instruments, playing alone, controlled by a computer and music software.

The organs, the “MeKanics” sing like little birds. The result is breath taking, Walter and Didier composed and arranged an unusual music, mixed between popular, contemporary, cinematographic music ... a music with fellinian flavors!

The human and artistic encounter between Didier Laloy and Kathy Adam is today what Didier thinks he has created the strongest, a music that is both intimate, intense and bubbling. Needing to change course in every new creation, it seemed to him impossible not to pursue this adventure with Kathy Adam. He had to find a project that could surprise him while keeping the duo BELEM at the heart of creation. An image kept coming constantly: “a mechanical orchestra” to accompany BELEM!

His dream seemed difficult to realize, even impossible, until the day he met Walter Hus. Thanks to the return of automated organs in a High-Tech form, the dream of Didier was before his eyes, in the Walter Hus’s lab.

The result is a true jewel, at once surprising, unique in the world, refined and majestic !

They talk about it

Psychedelicfolk (UK)

The feeling is that of an enhancement to the folklore forms of improvisation, like a try to lift it further towards a more contemporary classical music level...

Le Devoir (CA), Sept 2015

C’est à la fois triste et trash, doux et dense, baroque, asymétrique, violent, méditatif et très libre....

Imagine (BE)

Rendez-vous intime entre le violoncelle de Kathy Adam et l’accordéon de Didier Laloy. Ils avaient envie, et nous aussi, de cette rencontre en dialogues subtils qui débouchent sur des envolées valsées, des étreintes élancées,...
