BEADY BELLE
Genres: Acid Jazz, RnB, Pop, Art Song, Folk • Norway

In 1999 Beate was asked by Bugge Wesseltoft to make a record for Jazzland rec. The company gave her the artistic freedom to make the recording she wanted. In the early stages, Beate took on all of the work herself; composing, arranging, text writing, programming, recording and producing. She did as much as possible in her 6 sq. meter flat with her Macintosh. Most of the music was recorded in her flat, and for lack of space, the strings, vibraphone and drums had to be recorded in Bugge's Room. As the project progressed, Marius began to help out. He took care of the groove elements while Beate composed the melodies, harmonies and lyrics, with some exceptions both ways. The product of this work, done in their private surroundings, would be entitled "Home". Marius' contribution to the album was tremendous and the original project title "Beate S. Lech" was abandoned.
