Olivier Mellano

Olivier Mellano is a prolific French composer and guitarist known for his diverse and intensely emotional music. He's worked extensively in film, composing scores for directors like Paul Verhoeven (Elle) and Christophe Honoré (Beloved, Sorry Angel), and his solo work often blends post-rock, ambient, and modern classical influences. He's also a frequent collaborator, notably with the band Miossec and as part of the duo MellaNoisEscape with Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance. His music is characterized by its atmospheric textures, soaring melodies, and a raw, visceral energy.

Beyond his film scores and collaborations, Mellano has released a string of critically acclaimed solo albums, including recent works like "After Us," "Cores," and "Alive." He's not afraid to experiment with different sounds and instrumentation, often incorporating elements of electronica, noise, and even traditional Breton music into his compositions. Whether he's crafting delicate soundscapes or unleashing walls of sound, Mellano's music is always deeply evocative and powerfully moving.
