About Me

Nicolás Melmann, or Mel mann, synthesizes his musical search extremely influenced by the indietronic and the post rock, in the following formula: ethereal, melancholy and introspective songs, with electronic elements, emulating organic textures. In his live shows, always thematic, the projections in scene occupy an important place, with photographers' images as Nan Goldin, William Klein, Nobuyoshi Araki or painters as Francis Bacon, combining the force of the visual impact with the almost placid sensation of his music, creating a worrying concept. After years of experiences in bands of industral t and noise, Mel mann came to the conclusion that "one works better on their own". In the spring of 2005 he realease his first disc, Kyoko inspired by The Box, I cut of the Japanese Takashi Miike in the movie Three Extremes, with influences of groups like Tindersticks, Julee Cruise, Four Tet, Godspeed you Black Emperor!, Tortoise, or the sonorous bands of Angelo Badalamenti, in a totally independent form and distributed in specialized record stores. His second album is in process right now. In May, 2006, his first show comes, as semifinalist of a contest organized by the magazine The Inrockuptibles and the French Alliance, with good acceptance of the public. Then, he continues appearing live in diverse stages, taking part of Festivals as Jurassic Escape in the Museum of Natural Sciences, where he includes one of his songs in the compiled "Opened Study" managing to realize a visit to Chile, with shows in Santiago and Valparaiso and obtaining an honourable mention in the recognized site: http: // super45.cl/..
Nicolás Melmann, o Mel mann, sintetiza su búsqueda musical, sumamente influenciada por el indietronic y el post rock, en la siguiente fórmula: canciones etéreas, melancólicas e introspectivas, con elementos electrónicos, emulando texturas orgánicas. En sus shows en vivo, siempre temáticos, las proyecciones en escena ocupan un lugar importante, con imágenes de fotógrafos como Nan Goldin, William Klein, Nobuyoshi Araki o pintores como Francis Bacon, combinando la fuerza del impacto visual con la sensación casi plácida de su música, creando un concepto inquietante.Tras años de experiencias en bandas de industral t y noise, Mel mann llegó a la conclusión de que solo se trabaja mejor. En la primavera de 2005, edita su primer disco, Kyoko, inspirado en The Box, corto del japonés Takashi Miike en la película Three Extremes, con influencias de grupos como Tindersticks, Julee Cruise, Four Tet, Godspeed you Black Emperor!, Tortoise, o las bandas sonoras de Angelo Badalamenti, en forma totalmente independiente y distribuyéndolo en disquerías especializadas. Su segundo disco se encuentra actualmente en preparación.En mayo de 2006, llega su primer show, como semifinalista de un concurso organizado por la revista Los Inrockuptibles y la Alianza Francesa, con buena aceptación del público. Luego, continua presentándose en vivo en diversos escenarios, participando de Festivales como Fuga Jurásica en el Museo de Ciencias Naturales, donde incluye una de sus canciones en el compilado, Estudio Abierto llegando a realizar una visita a Chile, con shows en Santiago y Valparaíso y obteniendo una mención honrosa en el reconocido sitio http://super45.cl/ .
