Debut UK album by young Italian composer/keyboard musician playing melodic instrumental synthesizer music influenced by the likes of Vangelis and Jarre!

Composer and keyboard player Claudio Merlini was born in Milan, Italy in 1981. When he was just 10 years old, Claudio obtained his first electronic keyboard, and from that moment on all he wanted to do was compose instrumental music. His passion for music has lead him to prefer spending time composing rather than participating in other 'typical' childhood activities. This was hardly surprising though, because Claudio's father had a passion for “New Age” music, so it was all around Claudio from an early age. Indeed, Claudio believes his father's interest in the genre helped develop his music style, so rich in harmonies and stylised musical arrangements.
Luminaries of the genre like: Vangelis, Mike Oldfield and Jean-Michel Jarre, would soon influence Claudio, as the cultural city of Milan itself experienced the birth of Electronic and New Age music. Over the years Claudio perfected his musical skills, clearly drawing on his influences, but retaining a clearly defined style of his own.
In 2008, he released his first album: ‘Flight of Fantasy’, which was published under the name 'Sound Experience'. That album gained a good response from audiences and critics alike, and led to Claudio's second album: ‘The Colours Of Music’ being released by AD Music late in 2010.

‘Colours Of Music’ is a sensational Electronic Music album from Claudio Merlini. Melodic and hugely emotive, the album oozes real class and style. Claudio has a unique and captivating sound, leaning toward 80's synth music and with clear influences like TANGERINE DREAM, Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre. But, these are only noted for reference, because the music is contemporary and has its own very clear identity.
The album contains superb arrangements and a haunting beauty encapsulated in some truly wonderful themes and a terrific sense of motion. The music also has an astonishing blend of innocence and maturity, and it is that unusual combination that makes it so instantly likeable, and will enable this talented Italian musician to have broad appeal across the Electronic and New Age genres.
As the album highlight, the label sites the track called: ‘Travellers In Time’, saying that it is probably one of the most beautiful tracks you're ever likely to hear, anywhere!
AD Music not only highly recommended this album - they say it's a "must have" and you're really missing out if you don't investigate it!
