“a stunning collection of introspective songs”, “the
dude can sing up a storm”
-Bill Locey, Los Angeles Times
With its intriguing mixture of moody electronic sounds, elegant
piano lines and thought-provoking lyrics, Melborne Moon’s
music carves out its own place in the current music scene. His clear
voice both quietly invites you inside his world and challenges you
to hear him out.
As
a young child, Melborne remembers spending hours on end making up
songs to the sound of a squeaking rocking chair. To
this day, he still enjoys using unconventional sounds to inspire
him. On Moon’s latest album, "Repairing Fence",
which he recorded himself in his small home studio, he used everything
from a rattling guitar capo to his own voice to make loops and samples
to serve as starting points for the songwriting process.
Born
in 1971, Melborne was raised in a small country town in the mountains
of California, not far from Yosemite National Park. Raised in a
musical family, he plays several instruments, including violin,
trumpet and guitar, but he has always felt most comfortable at the
piano. In his live performances, Moon sings and plays keyboard while
triggering loops and samples to complete the sound. He is accompanied
by his good friend and drummer James Sutton.
Melborne
has 4 solo albums to his credit: the self-titled "Melborne
Moon" released in 1991, a 2nd self-titled album released in
1993, "Planet Life" released
in 1995, and his latest album "Repairing Fence" released
in 2004. Melborne currently resides in Columbia, Maryland.
