Description
Melaine Dalibert's fifth album "Shimmering" is the newest addition to Ici D'Ailleurs Mind Travels collection.
His magnetic piano mantras and spellbinding live performances have already attracted a wide array of contemporary-classical and minimalism obsessives, drawn by Dalibert's innovative techniques integrating both an algorithmic approach and a taste for playful pop references and influences.
His deeply personal style mixes a unique sense of flow that his technical skills never overshadows, allowing him to remain focused on musical emotions on pieces that could also pass as technical challenges for experts pianists (see the stunning "Six+Six" dedicated to David Sylvian).
Those eight haunting and wordless pop songs act as snapshots of the artist's sometimes melancholic moods and owe as much to Morton Feldman or Philip Glass as to Ryuichi Sakamoto or Peter Broderick. Together, they reveal a highly singular musical language that allows Melaine Dalibert to explore new paths forward in his already fascinating, innovative and shimmering journey.
