21.11 Nicolás Melmann – Música Aperta at Mutek Japan – Tokio- MoN Takanawa — Box 300

アルゼンチン出身、スペイン拠点のサウンドアーティスト/作曲家のNicolás Melmannは、音の社会的・詩的な側面を探求する。エレクトロニック、エレクトロアコースティック、ジェネラティブミュージックを軸に多様なメディアを横断して制作を行う。

「Música Aperta」は、時間の知覚を探る瞑想的なオーディオヴィジュアル・パフォーマンス。ストリングのドローン、ボウル、オルガンの音が、抽象的な光とゆっくり変容していく有機的な映像と重なり合い、現代社会の速い時間の流れに抗うように静寂と瞑想へと誘う空間を描き出す。

Argentine-born, sound artist and composer Nicolás Melmann explores the social and poetic dimensions of sound. Working across electronic, electroacoustic, and generative music, he brings together field recordings, data, and acoustic instruments to create attentive listening experiences.

Música Aperta — a contemplative audiovisual performance exploring the perception of time. String drones, bowls, and organ meet abstract light and slowly transforming organic imagery, drawing on early experimental and microscopic cinema to offer a space of stillness against the pace of contemporary life.

Música Aperta is a fusion of acoustic and electronic sounds, rich in beautiful harmonies, where carefully soft elements interplay with delicate raspiness. Made up of three parts, the music unfolds slowly, immersing the listener in time. Música Aperta resonates with echoes of Satie, the meditative minimalism of Arvo Pärt, the roughness of Phill Niblock, and the nostalgic reflections of Richard Skelton.

Another way of listening to Música Aperta is through its digital encore – an extension of the album experience that brings the concept of open music to life – «a work that remains unfinished and open to transformation.» The website features a reactive audiovisual interface where images dynamically respond to the music’s behavior, translating electroacoustic frequencies into real-time cinematic landscapes. The album blends instrumental and electronic textures while allowing listeners to interact with different layers through a virtual mixer, enabling them to create unique sound combinations and personal sonic experiences.
