Melaine Dalibert (born 1979), a French composer/pianist, has been increasingly recognized for his compositional piano works as well as his interpretations of works by Gérard Pesson, Giuliano D’Angiolini, Tom Johnson, Peter Garland and many others. Trained as a classical pianist in Rennes (where he teaches now), Dalibert studied a large repertoire of contemporary composers’ works at the Paris Conservatories. Being involved with experimental music at a young age, Dalibert found a way to compose music through mathematical concepts.
Fascinated by natural phenomena which are both expected and unpredictable, and also inspired by the work of the Hungarian-born French media artist Véra Molnar, Dalibert has developed his own algorithmic procedures of composition which contain the notion of stretched time evoking Morton Feldman, minimal and introspective, adopting a unique concept of fractal series. His piano music has been released on two recordings to date: Quatre pièces pour piano, self-released in 2015, and Ressac, issued by Another Timbre in 2017.
‘Musique pour le lever du jour’ (the title meaning ‘Music for The Daybreak’) was composed by Dalibert over two years and completed in 2017, with the concept being an ‘endless piece’ with no beginning or no end. This one-hour piece adopts slow tempi, leaving meditative space for long resonances in which pentatonic coloring gradually modulate in all tones, resulting in complex layers of direct tones, overtones, and prolonged reverberation, all organically subliming into rich sonorities with incredible harmonic clarity.
Produced and design by Yuko Zama, artwork by David Sylvian. The single CD is a limited edition of 500.
Né en 1979, le compositeur et pianiste Melaine Dalibert est reconnu pour ses compositions mais aussi pour ses interprétations de Gérard Pesson, Giuliano D’Angiolini, Tom Johnson, Peter Garland, Julius Eastman…
Une écriture qui va à l’encontre du développement de l’idée musicale, qui la détourne grâce à la puissance de l’outil mathématique (et l’écriture d’algorithmes) pour développer une musique dans un contexte minimaliste et plutôt dans la lenteur. Une écriture qui se révèle à l’auditeur comme celle de Tom Johnson par exemple.
Après “Ressac”, paru chez Another Timbre en 2017, “Musique pour le lever du jour” se conçoit comme une œuvre sans début ni fin, un espace méditatif pour de longues résonances dans lesquelles la coloration se module progressivement avec une incroyable clarté harmonique.
Produit par Yuko Zama, et David Sylvian qui signe aussi le artwork.
