Most of the Melodicci sound is deeply rooted in the piano.
My parents bought a piano and arranged weekly lessons for me when I was five, leading to years of music training — particularly classical.
That foundation shaped my understanding of music theory and emotional tension.
As a result, piano carries the weight in most Melodicci productions today.
Indirectly, the next taste layer was formed between 2007 and 2014.
Early melodic EDM became a major influence, alongside the hip-hop, rock, and pop music that filled the first iPod playlists. Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, Tiësto, Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Muse, AC/DC, U2, and The Black Eyed Peas made up most of the soundtrack.
The genres were different. But the common thread? Melody.
The third layer had a different purpose: to mix sounds with narratives to take you on a journey.
During university, film scores became a daily part of the listening routine. The style and shape of these scores helped me focus better in my studies.
Music from Steve Jablonsky, Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, Ludwig Göransson, and Two Steps From Hell filled thousands of hours of study.
Lastly, post-pandemic, melodic, deep, and more electronic artists became the norm and headliners of all my playlists — &ME, Ben Bohmer, Tim Green, Reznik, DJ Koze, Solomun, Adam Port, Rampa all inspired me to make music for the world.
