Melaine Dalibert - Shimmering [Ici D'Ailleurs / Mind Travel Series 014 Promo]

Released via the Ici D'Ailleur's Mind Travel series on March 25, 2k22 with the vinyl version to follow in May is "Shimmering", the latest full length album effort by pianist x composer Melaine Dalibert and his very first one on the label. Over the course of eight tracks and a total playtime of 31 minutes we see Dalibert diving deep into powerful, emotionally touching Modern Classical / (Neo)Classical piano elegies, presenting lively, yet also melancholia-inducing melodic arks, intimate pieces for rainy Sunday afternoons ("Six + Six" / "Prayer") as well as sparse, inward-looking elegies ("Mantra") and other goodness for fans of modern solo piano exercises.
