Benoît Delbecq The Weight of Light FILM 54mn (international version)
Ten years after Circles and Calligrams, his previous solo disc which won a Grand Prix du Disque from the Charles Cros Academy as well as a unanimous international review (best of 2010 from the New York Times, Le Monde etc.) Benoît Delbecq enter the March 12, 2020 in the Studio de Meudon to record his new solitary works, with island inspiration, the fruit of several years of obstinate preparation. The film immerses us in the intimacy of the recording and lets us hear and see the chiselling of music that is both bewitching and limpid. Excerpts from two interviews are grafted onto these privileged moments, one at his home in Bondy, the other in his working studio in Paris, interviews that shed light on the genesis of his compositions, on what drives him, on his artist story.
