LP version. 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 it's 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 it's creators, for listeners and for the creative people using it in their own work. It is an interaction, a dialogue and perpetual questioning.

An enjoyable new series with promise
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This is the first in a series. I have already ordered the next one so I like it. The main character Charlie Harris is a widowed library archivist. He lives in his late aunt's house and takes in borders and he owns a Maine coon large cat named Diesel. This is already a somewhat unusual cozy mystery because the main character and devoted cat owner is male. Charlie is a very personable character. He loved his wife (she died of cancer) and his late Aunt. He has 2 grown-up children that he cares about and he likes his job. He gets involved in a murder because his boarder, a young college, student is involved. His archival skills come in handy in providing clues to the murder. The deputy in charge of the investigation is the daughter of his long-time housekeeper. I didn't peek ahead to see who-did-it and I enjoyed the story til the end.. I don't think it's the type of mystery where all the clues are available and the reader tries to figure it out. The reader gets the clues as Charlie . gets them and finds out who the murderer is when Charlie finds out. Yet, the characters are engaging, the setting is interesting and it is a fast and enjoyable read. The plot is credible I like it.

Very good, entertaining mystery.
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I don't know if this author has written other books before beginning this series but it is a very good FIRST in what is so far just a 3 book series. I ordered all 3 but am reading them in order as I always do. The author tends to go into too much detail about mundane things about things like fixing a meal, etc., but it isn't too distracting from the story. I like a little hominess but this is overdone just a tad. The story moved right along establishing characters without throwing in so many that you simply can't keep them all straight as some authors do. A thoroughly despicable victim so nobody cares if he dies violently. And, to me, a reeeely surprise ending. For someone who has read as many mysteries as I have, this was a pleasant surprise and the author doesn't give you hints till you are almost at the reveal so that you feel clever at figuring it out but you don't figure it out too early and you are still a bit surprised that you were "right" about who did it. Also, the "hero" is a thoroughly likeable guy. Don't you hate it when the "hero" or "heroine" just comes across as someone you don't really like much. You know, the one that if he or she gets beat up, you sort of feel like they deserved it and you've not really sorry. Well, if something bad had happened to "Charlie" I'd have been very upset. Now, if #2 will just show up I'll get on with the series. This is a series I'll be keeping in my library to reread in a couple of years.

OK book
Format: Kindle
I read this for our book club, got the book on Kindle, so the "back of the book" description was not there...It took me a while to get into the book. I'm used to female lead characters, and I had to adjust for the lead character to be Mr. Charlie. The manners shown by the characters are a bit dated, by about 40 years, but it's nice to be re-exposed to good manners. Loved Deisel the cat, but whenever he's mentioned (which is a lot) it tells he's a cat. That got to be old, fast. Otherwise, it was a good book, quick read. I was rather shocked to learn that Miranda James is just a pen name for a male writer.
