For nearly 4 years now, Roman D., alias Delbi , walking his instruments from scene to scene in the region. First party in small concerts, Delbi has surrounded himself with a small group of hardcore fans and play alongside renowned artists such as Java Benabar, Benjamin Biolay , the late Mano Solo or groups as Lille Roken Is Dodelijk , by sharing his music "white folk, black groove (1) .
For Hero Bacchus, Delbi describes itself: "Delbi is a solo project, guitar and electronic " (2) . For without electronics, Delbi would not. What makes it unique is that it mainly play guitar, but his music is primarily with the feet .
Using the pedals of all kinds, Delbi Definition, Loope Delbi (without fail), and constructed under your eyes, his pieces. A guitar riff in a loop, which are added other notes, then the beat box and maracas, triangle, synths ... In the end, we witness the musical layering, one by one, gradually creating a complete song. It's a bit like watching the making of a delicious layer cake, it whets the appetite. Although not join Delbi minimalism, Terry Riley or Steve Reich sometimes seem never far away in the composition (loops, layers and variations), but they disappear very quickly when the song took shape and gives us his folk-blues sound with influences as diverse as Björk, Led Zep ', RATM Beethoven, Jeff Buckley, although if the artist had to name three, he would tell you "Merz / Muddy Waters / My Brightest Diamond .
In any case, Delbi is a group full , and he assures us, being alone on stage "it spins the thrill" . But Roman was not always alone: "I started the group LULU (composition and interpretation) in 1998, I played in a group of parallel streets, Tchobello. I had long songs aside, I wanted to play fast. That's why I launched solo ".
So over the years to be with the instruments Delbi has built a musical identity, but his taste for music, he must above all to his father "In general, there were instruments in my house, I was playing, my father sang the blues . It is with a sense of humor that tells the Hero Delbi Bacchus its choice of instruments and how to cope: "I love the instruments as they present themselves to me, especially about what you can type or scratch I am in no wind instruments. Anyway I have asthma ... "" Repeating, [music creation] is spontaneous, I go with the music and loops, the structures are well past. But I also like chocolate. "
With an EP of 6 songs in your pocket , Delbi continues to roam the halls of the region and beyond. For Delbi, it must be done in concert, where music is constructed, precisely, minutely, where each new layer music nails you a little about you or your seat will stir a new member of your body: it moves its head, then stamps his foot, before clapping his hands and end up wrinkling the face as the song takes you in the guts. While the CD into the stereo, the songs already finished, the magic gets lost. Between the live and studio, without hesitation, they certainly prefer the live. Delbi he, his preferred format is "A4" .
