This year is the 50th anniversary of founding diplomatic relation between China and France. As a international culture center, TCG Nordica is proud to present a electronic music concert “Mekanik Kantatik”, by Nicolas Cante.

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.
