The single follows the release of his single <em><a href=\"https:\/\/mailtrack.io\/trace\/link\/c9b33fb9905c662dcbaeabc189fda8d5d9c3db5b?url=https%3A%2F%2Fampl.ink%2FN9VL2&amp;userId=5716691&amp;signature=409b460132c4b411\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">River<\/a><\/em> and precedes the release of his album \u2018Mute Theatre\u2019 on April 2 via Maida Maori. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of the single, Melldu said: <em>&#8220;The track combines a neoclassical vibe mixed with the minimal. The piano melody was created quite quickly and I was inspired by the vibe of Radiohead and Hans Zimmer when writing the melodic lines.&#8221;<\/em> Listen to <em>Mute Theatre<\/em> via SoundCloud below.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mute Theatre by Melldu\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F947321716&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Melldu has had his work aired in the flagship Adidas Originals store as well as featured on their Instagram page and co-wrote Lil Tjay\u2019s <em>\u2018F.N.\u2019<\/em> which reached #56 on the Billboard Hot 100. The producer has a history of significant labels backing him, having been signed to Sony Music, Columbia Records and Ninetofive. So far, Melldu has been supported by tastemaker Youtube channels such as dynmk and the_accidental_poet, contributing to his play count of over half a million streams across platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating under the moniker Melldu, the producer was born to the name Artem Romanov in Babruysk, Belarus and currently based in St. Petersburg, Russia. Artem writes all his music, plays, sings and produces at his home studio and, when not working on his own music, assists other rising artists with their production and songwriting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing inspiration from the celebrated electronic likes of Thom Yorke, \u00d3lafur Arnalds, Ry X, Nils Frahm, Apparat, Sohn, Bonobo and even Fink, Melldu incorporates a mix of piano, minimal, ambient, downtempo, unusual vocals and electronic into his work. His own work can be compared to the modern stylings of Burial, Tycho and Kiasmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An appropriate interlude to whet the listener\u2019s appetite for the upcoming album, \u2018Mute Theatre\u2019 is gently progressive as it incorporates organic elements of string instruments and entwines them with the dominant electronic soundscapes. A bold homage to the complexities of piano and a reminder of the joy the instrument can bring, Melldu inspires artists and listeners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/YbjJeOPwAQ9pVmYi8wfUjxFKTKFxiNPrpOVME3J-JOht5iqz5ECI92Kq45MLQiSaosuORi0b609isqJVonZbgkZEZPNANB_Ev7KEp-O32bjWoVWDuNkCAQb3VU8wW6-QpGvegNda\" alt=\"Melldu Mute Theatre album cover artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>Mute Theatre\u2019 track listing<\/strong><br>1.
