Olivier Mellano's "How We Tried a New Combination of Notes to Show the Invisible or Even the Embrace of Eternity" is a captivating exploration of sound and interpretation, released in 2012 under the Naïve label. This ambitious project presents a single musical theme in three distinct interpretations, each offering a unique perspective on the same underlying composition. The album is structured into four movements, with each interpretation providing a fresh take on the journey from chaos to harmony.
The Symphonic Version features a full orchestra, delivering a rich and expansive soundscape that evolves from chaotic beginnings to a euphoric crescendo. The 17 Electric Guitars Version offers a more textured and rhythmic approach, with intricate guitar work that builds from electric seas to arches of joy. The Electro Hip Hop Version brings a modern, digital twist, transforming the original theme into a pulsating journey through data and binary rhythms.
The album is a testament to Olivier Mellano's versatility and creativity, showcasing his ability to reinterpret and reinvent musical ideas across different genres and instruments. With a total runtime of 1 hour and 59 minutes, this box set includes CDs and a DVD, complete with a 48-page booklet in both French and English. It's a must-experience for fans of innovative and experimental music, offering a deep dive into the creative process of a truly original artist.
