Marc Melià is a Majorca born composer and musician who currently lives in Brussels. For the last ten years he has been composing, producing and playing music in several bands including the pan-european trio Lonely Drifter Karen among them with whom he released 3 albums on the Belgium label Crammed Discs. He is now a keyboard player in the bands Françoiz Breut, Borja Flames and Le Ton Mité. ‘Music for Prophet’, his first solo album, it’s part of the new born tradition of the repetitive music composed by sensitive robots for the humans of tomorrow. The protagonist of the album, from where all the mystical loops, giant statues of arpeggios and the big variety of electronic landscapes post-Kraftwerk are born it’s called Prophet 08, an already mythical synthesizer. With‘Music for Prophet’, Marc Melià proposes a performance where, unlike the vast majority of live electronic music acts, each song is crafted by hand at every concert without the use of prerecorded sequences.

With‘Music for Prophet’, Marc Melià proposes a performance where, unlike the vast majority of live electronic music acts, each song is crafted by hand at every concert without the use of prerecorded sequences. ‘Music for Prophet‘, le premier album orchestré par Marc Melià, s’inscrit dans cette tradition naissante d’une musique répétitive composée par des robots sensibles pour les humains du futur. Le personnage principal de ce disque, d’où naissent toutes ces boucles progressives et mystiques, ses statues d’arpèges démesurées et la grande variété de ses paysages électroniques, s’appelle Prophet 08, un instrument synthétique déjà mythique. Marc Melià y naturalises what is synthetic, humanises what is robotic and looks for the beauty in sounds that by nature are cold and emotionless. In the album there is a dichotomy between the will of being real and the impossibility of escaping it’s artificial nature, as when Rachael becomes aware that she is a replica, not human in 1982’s film Blade Runner. |
