Nicolas Horvath - Mélaine Dalibert - En Abyme (2022) Hi-Res

For so long I wanted to release the music of my friend and great french composer Melaine Dalibert.
I met Melaine totally by chance. Actually I don't even remember how. As much as my memory goes, he was a friend of a friend. Back in 2011, I was preparing for the Palais de Tokyo a crazy Homage to Philip Glass were +120 composers wrote a piano piece for Glass.
At this time, I was highly into social medias, and... I was internationally one of the very very few professional to perform this music on stage.
With Melaine, it matched at the right moment we started to exchange ! He did for this concert this haunting En Abyme (dedicated to me! yepee) , and I performed the piece I think .... all around the globe ! (the piece was perfect : beautiful and 3 / 5 min long ! perfect to fit into any programs!)
With Melaine, we performed on 2 pianos some of his work, I had the honor to receive all his music when composed, we also recorded the Eastman 4 pianos albums ..... so so many things.

This album is the first of a serie of albums dedicated to Dalibert solo piano music. The pieces recorded on this album are from his early and most radical period : Fractal Music !

As I am a fractal lover, it speaks to me.... like an infinite world, full of poetry and eeriness ....

In later this year, there will be more albums of Melaine Music, and maybe with world premiere !!! let cross fingers !!!

After being the first french concert pianist to support, perform avant-garde, experimental & minimalism music all around the world, with event such as the Night of Minimal Piano, it was time to create a Label / Série dedicated to all the discoveries I did during those last 2 decades : the Nicolas Horvath Discoveries (Collections 1001 Notes)
