Born in Majorca, composer and producer Marc Melià is known for his ability to find beauty and emotion within the circuitry of his synthesizer, employing a minimalist style.Currently based in Brussels, he has spent the past decade composing and producing for a diverse range of notable figures in the French music scene, including Flavien Berger, Françoiz Breut and Lonely Drifter Karen among others.In an era of digital technological abundance, Marc Melià embraces constraints, often crafting his albums and performances around a select few options. Yet from these constraints emerges a stunning universe, brimming with rich textures and elegant harmonies. For his debut album, he exclusively utilized a Sequential Prophet. With his third LP, Pièces Monophoniques, set for release on Vlek in April 2025, he returns armed solely with an analog monophonic synthesizer and handcrafted MIDI sequences recorded directly onto a single stereo track. These recordings aim to reveal beauty within the confines of simplicity and limitation.
