Olivier Mellano's "How we tried a new combination of notes to show the invisible or even the embrace of eternity" is a captivating exploration of sound and structure, released on Naive in 2012. This ambitious project spans nearly two hours and is presented in three distinct versions: Symphonic, 17 Electric Guitars, and Electro Hip Hop, each offering a unique perspective on the same thematic core.
The album is a journey through four movements, each exploring different sonic landscapes and emotional territories. From the chaotic genesis to euphoric resolution, Mellano masterfully guides the listener through a sea of strings, both acoustic and electric, and into the realm of digital data. The symphonic version showcases Mellano's classical training, while the electric guitar version highlights his innovative approach to contemporary instrumentation. The electro hip hop version, meanwhile, offers a fresh, rhythmic take on the material.
Mellano's work is not just about the notes themselves, but about the spaces between them, the invisible threads that connect us all. This album is a testament to his ability to blend genres and push boundaries, creating a sound that is both familiar and entirely new. Whether you're a fan of classical music, rock, or electronic beats, there's something here to captivate and inspire you.
