MEL Symphonic

GUITARIST & COMPOSER LOCATED IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA, WHOSE ORIGINAL MUSIC IS PROGRESSIVE, PSYCHEDELIC, AND EXPERIMENTAL. NOT SIMPLY JUST A GUITAR PLAYER, M.E.L. IS A COMPOSER WHO WRITES FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR, BASS VI, AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS.

INSPIRATION COMES IN AN ARRAY OF SOURCES, SUCH AS PROGRESSIVE ROCK, CLASSIC ROCK, FILM SCORES, DARKJAZZ, ELECTRONICA/TECHNO, SOUL/FUNK, LATIN, AND MIDDLE EASTERN. HIS BIGGEST HEROES ARE JIMMY PAGE, MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN, AND BRIAN PATRICK CARROLL.

“MY MUSIC IS KIND OF LIKE GETTING ALL MY HEROES IN A SUPERGROUP AND WRITING ONLY DEEP CUTS OR SOME COOL B-SIDES. ANY KIND OF HIT WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT. IT’S ABOUT FREE EXPRESSION THROUGH SOUND, RAW AND PERSONAL.” — M. E. Lendo
