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.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY

Cole Pulice - After the Rain

I'm very fortunate to have scored for this epic. All credit to Sameer for yet again coming strong in all aspects of movie making. Good things take time , so was this movie score. After all efforts of recording everything live in studio , after the mix ,it felt as is if everything fell in place.  I usually like to bind a movie with a theme ,which holds backbone of the story ,emotions ,speed for visuals . somehow I felt this melancholy for theme worked for me as it showed the perfect emotion and was a complete thread to Anandi and gopal's relationship. I believe every music has a story to tell , hope this piece reminds you/ triggers u to have storyboard visuals while listening :)
