Info for Il Viaggio

Zurück zu den Wurzeln: Melanie De Biasio begibt sich mit "Il Viaggio" auf eine Reise zu sich selbst. Melanie De Biasio veröffentlicht ihr viertes Album "Il Viaggio" (italienisch für "Die Reise") und begibt sich auf die titelgebende Reise zu ihren familiären Wurzeln in Italien. Ein Großteil der Aufnahmen zu dem zweigeteilten Album entstand in Lettomanoppello, einem kleinen Bergdorf in den Abruzzen. Melanie reiste ihrer eigenen Geschichte hinterher, nahm immer wieder kleine Skizzen auf und tauchte tief in die eigene Gefühlswelt ein. Beide Album-Teile, "Lay Your Ear To The Rail" und "The Chaos Azure", tragen den Drang nach stetiger Veränderung und Weiterentwicklung in sich und bearbeiten diese auf einer einnehmenden Reise. Das Album klingt wie eine Traumreise, gespickt mit Natursounds, unaufdringlichen Momentaufnahmen von Wind, Wasser, Vogelgezwitscher sowie Kirchenglocken und öffnet so einen Raum, in dem das Konkrete kein Gewicht hat und es darum geht, rohe Musik zu vermitteln. Klavier, Flöte, Streichinstrumente, elektronische Klangteppiche und Melanies sanfte Stimme vereinen sich zu einem beinahe transzendentalem Trip und laden dazu ein, sich voller Gelassenheit mit ihr auf diese sinnliche Reise zu begeben.

Melanie De Biasio The word "chanteuse" is often bandied about. De Biasio is probably the textbook definition: dark, sensual, jazzy. Steeped in the heritage of jazz singers, her first album "A Stomach is Burning" is a moody, sparse jazz poem in shades of blue. De Biasio did not wait long to start learning to express herself differently. At the age of 3, she started classical dance lessons. At the age of 8, she encountered the transverse flute, the beginning of her love of music. This is also when she discovered the thrill of playing in a group, the Ensemble de l'Harmonie de Charleroi, a Belgian brass band that toured Canada. From then on, Mélanie started perfecting her voice, through diction and declamation lessons from the age of 12. She spent her teenage years with various groups, discovering different facets of music. It's with a small rock group that she first started singing and composing. In 1997, she appeared with the Harmadik Fül trio, her entrance into jazz. She discovered the old standards and their history, but also collective improvisation. At the same time, she took singing lessons at the Brussels Royal Conservatory, where she met Steve Houben, one of Belgium's key jazzmen. After 3 years, she was awarded the first prize in singing with distinction. A long tour of Russia followed with the Orange Kazoo collective. This turned out to be such an intense musical and human adventure that she came out of it even more determined. Steve, touched by her new maturity, offered her several possibilities to work together, including 20 dates that included some of the best festivals and the biggest halls and clubs in Belgium. They also played at the Universal Exhibition in Aichi, Japan. All these experiences pushed her to develop a very personal outlook on music, while exploring the heritage of her predecessors with pianist Pascal Mohy. Mélanie also played regularly with other noted Belgian musicians such as the double bassists Sal La Rocca, Bas Cooymans and Philippe Aerts; the drummers Jan De Haas, Bruno Castellucci and Mimi Verderame; and pianists such as Charles Loos, Michel Herr and Pascal Paulus. In 2006, she was nominated for a Django d'Or award as a "Young Talent". Her first album, "A Stomach is Burning", recorded live in studio in 2006, proves that Mélanie De Biasio was right to learn to express herself differently.
