Chapelier Fou
, aka
Louis Warynski
, is well known today for his exemplary discography: three albums -
613
(2010),
Invisible
(2012), and
Deltas
(IDA 098LP, 2014), three EPs -
Darling, Darling, Darling...
(2009),
Scandale !
(2009), and
Al Abama
(2011) - and two 12" of remixes
Protest EP
(2014) and
Fuses
(IDA 098-2EP, 2015). Since the very beginning of his career, the French composer's songs always stimulated the imagination of his listeners. Many artists, theater, and movie directors or actors have asked to use his songs or requested commissioned works. "Les Métamorphoses de Mr. Kalia" is in this very specific category of commissioned work by Chapelier Fou. The mini-album
Kalia
is the very first instalment to be released as a record. In spring 2014,
Béatrice Lartigue
and
Cyril Diagne
from French artists' collective
Lab212
contacted Chapelier Fou while he was finalizing his third album
Deltas
. The two invited him to work on a digital art installation project, "Les Métamorphoses de Mr. Kalia" the graphic work of which was entirely generated by code and entered in a DevArt (the famous firm offering databases for developers) contest. The project was then selected by Google to be presented at the "Digital Revolution" exhibition at the famous Barbican Centre of London alongside works from
Björk
,
Will I Am
, and
Amon Tobin
, among others. The nine songs presented on
Kalia
are striking because of their effectiveness and conciseness (each track is just over two minutes). The writing approach offered here is more radical than Louis's previous work. Each song is based on a simple idea from which the artist extracts its maximum potential to give a stripped down result. This enables listeners to get closer to the seductive inner substance of his work - a unique groove and sense of rhythm, simple and haunting melodies plus the ability to fill the sound space whatever the limits imposed. Above all,
Kalia
shows brilliantly that Chapelier Fou's music is just not a well-written mix of electronic music with violin. It is the breeding ground for research, experimentation and cohesiveness. It is an inspiration for its creators, for listeners and for the creative people using it in their own work. It is an interaction, a dialogue and perpetual questioning.
