I go by Mel·lif·lu·ous, a name that mirrors my sound: smooth, layered, and resonant. I’m a violinist, vocalist, and experimental composer who crafts evocative soundscapes using loops, voice, and violin — often transforming them into synth textures with tools like Push 3 and the microcosm (for all you tech heads).
My roots are in classical music, but I’m driven by curiosity. I blur the lines between genres, drawing from ambient, electronic, pop, and experimental traditions to build immersive sonic worlds. My performances are more than just music — they’re experiences that explore solitude, memory, and connection. I create from instinct, intuition, and a desire to connect with people beyond words.
For me, music is freedom. It’s a way to process the noise of the world, to tap into something more honest — something deeply human. I believe in the power of sound to hold space, tell stories, and offer comfort. My hope is that my work reminds people to slow down, breathe, and listen — not just to me, but to themselves.
We’re often taught to conform, to shrink ourselves, or to chase perfection. Through my art, I aim to challenge that — to show that imperfection can be beautiful, and that vulnerability is a strength. I want you to feel free to take up space, explore, and be fully, radically yourself.
Each piece I create is a conversation between the organic and the digital. I layer violin loops, vocal harmonies, field recordings, and live modulation to construct compositions that feel both intimate and otherworldly. My sound has been described as cinematic, soulful, and haunting.
My writing often begins with a feeling — a word, a memory, a landscape — and I follow it until it forms something you can hear and feel. Whether I’m performing in Iceland under a dark sky or in a crowded city venue, I aim to transport you into the moment with me.
My journey into sound began early, with a violin in my hands. My parents love to tell the story of how, as a little kid, I picked up a violin and immediately started playing — like I already knew how. From then on, I was hooked (or at least, they were). For 15 years, they made me practice an hour a day. I hated it. But now, I’m so grateful. That daily discipline gave me a foundation — and eventually, a voice.
My violin teacher, Mr. Horch, used to tell me I was talented (though I suspect he said that to everyone). Still, hearing it from him mattered. It gave me confidence. It made me believe I could do something special with sound.
I’ve always been drawn to blending elements — whether it’s visuals, music, or tech. Over the years, I’ve worked across design, web, and music, and I bring all of that into my performances. Each piece is a convergence of where I’ve been and where I’m going.
I’m self-taught in many ways — learning gear, tools, and software through late nights, deep dives, and endless curiosity. Every loop, every layer, is part of a lifelong pursuit of expression.
Right now, I’m focused on growth — artistically, personally, and in community. I’m preparing a new live show called Wildroot and Amber.
Life hasn’t always been easy — anxiety, isolation, and burnout have been part of my story — but music has always been a lifeline. If you’re someone who’s ever felt too different, too sensitive, or too much — I see you. You’re not alone.
I’m also playing open mics, testing new pieces live, and planning for future festivals (yes, Mutek, I’m coming for you). If you’re into immersive art, genre-defying music, or thoughtful experimentation — let’s connect.
