Over the past two decades, Olivier Mellano has collaborated with more than fifty pop, rap, and rockgroups, including Psykick Lyrikah, Mobiil,[1] Bed, Laetitia Shériff, and Dominique A. His work has recently extended into cinematic, theatrical, dance and literary contexts. In 2006, his landscape began to include new music, and his recording "La Chair des Anges" was released on the Naïve Classique label.
Mellano performs "cine-concerts" at venues around the world and serves as coordinator for collective project such as "L'Ile Electrique", "Superfolia Armaada", and "Ralbum". He also improvises as a soloist or in duets with artists including Boris Charmatz, Robin Guthrie, Bertrand Chamayou, André Markowicz, Claro, François Jeanneau, and John Greaves[citation needed].
In 2012, on commission from the Brittany Symphony Orchestra, he composed the triptych "How we tried a new combination of notes...",[2] which premiered at the Rennes Opera with the Brittany Symphony under of the direction of Jean-Michaël Lavoie, featuring soprano Valérie Gabail, the Pink Iced Club (twelve electric guitars), MC Dälek, Simon Huw Jones, and Black Sifichi. He is currently working on his second book, has composed and performed music for the Handke/ Nordey play "Par les Villages", and has returned to the world of sonic rock with his solo album "MellaNoisEscape".[3]
