Maelstrom is the debut album from two renowned musicians of the Belgian scene, Didier Laloy (diatonic accordion) and Damien Chierici (violin). Traditional and modern combine in a seamless blend of classical instrumentation, electronic-pop, world music and cinematic atmospheres, as they travel together across the globe in an anarchic voyage of nostalgia and discovery.
