Argentinian Sound Artist and Musician Melmann
Sound artist and musician from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Melmann, presents an audio-visual performance creating a unity between the elements: an unfolding of hypnotic formations, symmetrical sine waves, introspective tones, and slices of life contained in amorphous shapes and shards of what resemble close-ups of butterfly wings: https://vimeo.com/22377480 Melmann combines different musical dimensions, from electronics/electro through children's music, producing music for television, film, theater and installations, to his latest foray as a singer, always innovating from the composition, making test formats, exploring different sounds, resources and instruments. Since 2006 Melmann has been developing a media project combining sounds with images working with VJS, generating a mix between music and text image looking for a conceptual and discursive unity between them. His work can be found on two records: Kyoko (2005) and Seven lives Otomi (music for theater -2006), with a third on the way, along with participations in compilations of various labels. Melmann combines electronics with acoustic instruments, walking between experimentation and melody. The result: "nocturnal, introspective music." Perhaps his most noticeable musical references are Cocteau Twins, Coil and Pansonic. He has performed a great number of shows on local stages and festivals such as: Pictoplasma, Panoramic, two Chile´s tours - Santiago and Valparaiso, and a European tour including London, Vienna, Paris, Bordeaux, Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne (C O Pop Festival where he also participated with other artists such as: Jose Gonzalez, Daf, Crystal Castels, Hercules & the love affair and Digitalism among others). Melmann is currently on his first US tour. https://vimeo.com/19105454# https://soundcloud.com/melmann www.melmann.com.ar Meridian Gallery 535 Powell Street San Francisco, CA 94108
