{"product_id":"melaine-dalibert_eden-fall_2024","title":"Eden, Fall","description":"\"Our entire past also watches over our present, and it is because the self is ancient, deep, rich, and full that it possesses a truly real action. Its originality comes from its origin. It is memory; it is not an invention.\" Gaston Bachelard, La dialectique de la durée. - - Melaine Dalibert ‘Eden, Fall’ Contrecourant. Right against it. Nestled inside, like a parenthesis whose two arches, though so fine, offer refuge from the frenzy of the world, from its noise. The outline as a bulwark against abundance. Taking the time. Look, the birds are singing; at least they have never forgotten how to do it. Taking the time to be taken by it. Why not enjoy it for just a moment after all? How long does a moment last? We wander along the thread of this idea. And then we end up wondering what it would be like to run towards our demise but in slow motion? It is this moment that the first piece ‘Eden’ chooses to conclude. The ebb of the piano notes pulls us out of our reverie. Although, there too, the waves abound on the thread of an idea, in a brief précis of evanescence. Then the fall breaks the silence. It rebounds in 4233 beats; I took the time to count them all. - - In three pieces with radically asymmetric durations, Melaine Dalibert questions our relationship with time through music. The construction of the album sketches a mischievous logic of existence by confronting it with its absurdity. ‘Eden’ thus opens the record, like an ecstatic spring, while ‘Fall’ closes it with tension like an unyielding autumn. Between the two, ‘Jeu de vagues’ serves as a solstice at the border of these two opposites. For there is in Melaine Dalibert's music a sensitive intelligence of hope. Thus, when the last chord of ‘Fall’ fades, one immediately wants to dive back into ‘Eden’ and start all over again as if this album were merely an isolated sequence of an endless algorithm to which the composer returns after his previous record for the Mind Travels Series (Shimmering, Ici d’Ailleurs, 2022). - - Amaury Cornut","brand":"Melaine Dalibert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58534463275352,"sku":null,"price":23698695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521383489543.jpg?v=1790030470","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/melaine-dalibert_eden-fall_2024","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
