In its fifth year, the traditional January 27th release spirals around Mark Vernon’s birthday. Interestingly, the "year one" occurred just a few weeks before we began communicating. As with many occasions, we can wonder whether it was precognition or coincidence...

Nicolás Melmann — Música Aperta

Umor Rex, catalog UR154
Vinyl LP, digital and streaming 
Release date: April 4, 2025

Nicolás Melmann (born in Buenos Aires and now based in Barcelona) explores sound's social and poetic dimensions through transdisciplinary projects. Drawing inspiration from Erik Satie's concept of "furniture music," Melmann's compositions transform the listening experience into havens of calm and contemplation.

Música Aperta is a fusion of acoustic and electronic sounds, rich in beautiful harmonies, where carefully soft elements interplay with delicate raspiness. Made up of three parts, the music unfolds slowly, immersing the listener in time. Música Aperta resonates with echoes of Satie, the meditative minimalism of Arvo Pärt, the roughness of Phill Niblock, and the nostalgic reflections of Richard Skelton.

Another way of listening to Música Aperta is through its digital encore – an extension of the album experience that brings the concept of open music to life – "a work that remains unfinished and open to transformation." The website features a reactive audiovisual interface where images dynamically respond to the music's behavior, translating electroacoustic frequencies into real-time cinematic landscapes. The album blends instrumental and electronic textures while allowing listeners to interact with different layers through a virtual mixer, enabling them to create unique sound combinations and personal sonic experiences.

All songs written and performed by Nicolás Melmann in Château Éphémère 
Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY
Artwork by Daniel Castrejón

Project supported by: Asylum Arts / The Neighborhood (New York), and Château Éphémère - Fabrique Sonore et Numérique (Poissy).

Nicolás Melmann - Música Aperta II

The Shadows are Moving

For some flipping reason, I decided to record a few tunes straight to my Roland R09 and not record the individual instruments as usual. And I hadn't bothered to set the date on the unit either, so the date on the file is totally bogus. No idea what I named the sequence files, if I even bothered to save them. Best guess to the date is 2017.
