Three strong, unmistakable voices in jazz - Mel*E combines virtuoso interplay with innovative sound research. Their sound fuses acoustic and electronic elements to create hypnotic, driving music that sets the mind and body in motion.
The band experiments with timbres and structures: the warm, effective double bass creates dense, pulsating textures that move between deep sub-frequencies and distorted soundscapes. Synthesizers open up spaces, break up harmonies or set floating accents, while the extended drum set-up creates a vibrating basis with hybrid sounds and effects.
Wide melodic arcs float over energetic grooves, danceable rhythms meet spherical soundscapes - Mel*E plays with contrasts and combines the virtuoso with the immediate, the analog with the digital. Powerful and sensitive, rousing and introspective - always with depth and urgency.
