Automelodi is a Canadian music project that delves into the realm of minimal wave and synth-pop, masterfully crafted by Xavier Paradis, a Montreal-based musician and producer. Emerging on the scene in the late 2000s, Automelodi has become known for blending rich analogue synthesizer sounds with French lyrics, creating an atmospheric and moody sonic landscape that is unmistakably their own.

The project's self-titled debut, "Automelodi," was released in 2010 and set the stage for their signature sound: nostalgic yet futuristic, with a clear nod to the dark, danceable undercurrents of 1980s electronic music. With subsequent releases like "Surlendemains Acides" and "Mirages au futur verre-brisé," Paradis has continued to evolve the project, earning critical acclaim for his clever songwriting and production. The meticulously layered tracks, powered by twisting melodies and melancholic vocals, chronicle the complex interplay of memory, technology, and identity. Automelodi is not just revisiting the past but reimagining it, bridging the gap between the familiar and the avant-garde within the electronic music landscape.
