Melaine Dalibert - Eden, Fall [Ici D'Ailleurs / Mind Travels Series 020]

Released via Mind Travels Series, the sub x sister imprint of Ici D'Ailleurs, on May 24th, 2k24 is "Eden, Fall", the latest album outing conceived by composer x producer Melaine Dalibert. Rolled out over a total playtime of 55 minutes, of which the major part is occupied by the 37 minutes spanning opener "Eden", Dalibert brings forth tender Ambient dronings, faint echoes of what seems to be field recorded bird song and, most important of all, repetetive piano figures of pure, harmonic and unscathed, dreamy and unaltered nature, followed by the relatively short interim piece "Jeu De Vagues" which offers frolicking cascades of sparkling Modern Classical piano whilst the concluding "Fall" brings forth hammered fast-paced high pitch repetitions and therefore brings to mind what was originally called Minimal Music when modern composition techniques first emerged with the advent of the likes Steve Reich and fellow contemporaries which makes the closing piece our favorite cut on this album.
