Olivier Mellano - After Us (2024)

Olivier Mellano’s compositions blend diverse influences, drawing from composers like Carlo Gesualdo, Benjamin Britten, and Jonny Greenwood. His work breaks stylistic boundaries, combining baroque harmony, symphonic ensembles, electric guitars, and classical voices to create a unique and dynamic sound. Mellano’s music bridges ambitious pop and contemporary compositions, aligning with modern innovators like Nico Muhly and Bryce Dessner.

In *After Us*, Mellano collaborates with Melaine Dalibert in an organ-guitar duo. Recorded at La Chapelle Saint-Vincent in Rennes, their improvisations merge the chapel’s 19th-century organ with Mellano’s electric guitar, creating a fusion of historical and modern sounds.
