Music passionate, lover and producer. Session instrumentalist. My life is music. My music is life. Maybe that's why I try to make it in unique way. I always look for new way of musical expression so I can make music against rules or even genres. Maybe I'm not there yet but that's a goal. Not a dream. What else. I'm also Mixer. Bassist, guitarist, arranger, vocalist, composer. Polish guy with british roots insolently travelling between US and EU.

Multi award-winning Parisian pianist, composer and producer Benoit Delbecq figures among the prominent innovators of the international contemporary jazz scene who have build their own singular language in music. He has brought the soul of jazz to John Cage's prepared piano, when The New York Times depicts him as "a brilliant and unconventional French pianist" (Chinen). -- photo by Igor Juget. 
Benoit Delbecq is a founding member of Bureau de Son, a parisian non-profit and label (dStream) for new music.

milles traiz « Lesventéé »
(melancholodie perfestrophiste)

chansons rendez-vous avec la vie la mort le chaos les monstres la grâce /
effondrements et retours en surface par le vent le feu la révolte /
glorifient la vie maudissent la vie selon les circonstances /
appelles à la revanche sur le monopole du mode d’emploi en morsure en poison
