Mekanik Kantatik is a living installation that evolves around a piano. The piano, set up electronically, is the raw material of the artist. Nicolas Cante, pianist and « human robot » uses all the components of his instrument (keyboard, cords, wood and iron) combined with modern technology (computers, sensors), to create, what is though electronic, a profoundly organic music. It is unknown whether the artist controls the machine or the machine controls the artist.The album is a collision of jazz, pop, techno and experimental music in a subtle and enlightened way.Live, Mekanik Kantatik is a game of uncertainty, a sort of trash-sentimental, electro-acoustic cabaret. The music is created live solely by the sounds of the piano fed through the laptop, reinvented as if an orchestra and expelled back into the world.
The sound’s work in real time intensifies the intimite and ambiguous relationship between the human and the electromecanic… the heart of the projectThe compositions recorded in the album form the basis of constant improvisation, of perpetual movement.
The artist provokes the unknown to satisfy the desire of creating a true musical reality, giving out left and right beautiful sonic slaps and challenging the myth of the virtuoso artist. The end product is a concrete and dancefloor experience.
The album was mixed and recorded by Dominique « Dume » POUTET aka Otisto 23 (Laurent de Wilde, Gaël Horellou, NHX, productions of the label DTC).
