Short Biography Education Teaching MELANIE VALERA T (503) 875 7347 [email protected] www.tenderforever.com SHORT BIOGRAPHY Melanie Valera is an autodidact performing artist and a pop music maker residing in Portland, OR – USA. She was born in 1977 in South West France where she spent her formative years. In 2005, she left her native ground for an incredible transatlantic adventure from where she will never return. A laptop, a long mic cord and almost too much enthusiasm was all it took. 3 successful opuses (K RECORDS) and 800 international shows later, she has worked on multimedia projects, including collaborations with film maker Ted Passon, Multimedia artist Nick Lally and producer Christopher Doulgeris. She has shared the stage with Cocorosie, Kimya Dawson, Men, Deerhoof, The Blow, Calvin Johnson, Mirah, Electrelane and much more. Most recently, she performed at the TBA FESTIVAL 2010 in Portland-OR with Ted Passon and Nick Lally (which work was later qualified of “genius” and “best performance at the Works”, the Whitney Museum in New York City, el Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, el Museu d'Art Contemporani in Barcelona (MACBA), Centre George Pompidou and La Cité Internationale in Paris. She has composed scores for shorts, video games and advertisements. Melanie Valeraʼs multimedia pop projects explore and challenge spaces, overlap realities, tell you stories, span nationalities and leaps forward towards a world where we can close the gaps between countries, ideologies and ultimately hearts. She is currently recording a 4th opus and has just received the RAAC Grant to complete a promising collaborative multimedia project called “MAZED” with Peter Burr.

  • C'mon Miracle
    MIRAH C’MON MIRACLE CAT#: KLP160 FORMAT: CD/LP RELEASE DATE: MAY 4, 2004 UPC: 789856116027 CD; 789856116010 LP LABEL: K RECORDS Box 7154 Olympia, WA 98507 (360) 786-1594 fax (360) 786-5024 www.krecs.com Nobody Has to Stay • Jerusalem • The Light • Don’t Die in Me • Look Up! • We’re Both So Sorry • The Dogs of B.A. ∑ The Struggle • You’ve Gone Away Enough • Promise to Me • Exactly Where We’re From Something gentle this way comes in the form of Mirah and her third full-length album, C’mon Miracle (KLP160). Many hands lent themselves, strumming autoharps and bowing strings, accompanying the lilting, soaring voice that can not be mistaken. Mirah’s whole new batch of songs stands solid and un-afraid; pianos and drums, truth and protest. If her first album, you think it’s like this but really it’s like this (KLP112) snuck up and surprised you, then her second album Advisory Committee (KLP135) stunned you with cannon fire. Now sit back and relax as C’mon Miracle washes over you and etches its subtle ways into your psyche. Mirah recorded most of C’mon Miracle at Dub Narcotic studio with Phil Elverum and Calvin Johnson. Lori Goldston (of The Black Cat Orchestra), Emily Kingan (of The Haggard and Sextional), Khaela Maricich (The Blow), Aaron Hartman (OTR), Jason Anderson (Wolf Colonel) and Nora Davidson and Themba Lewis (of Liarbird) are among the other players and helpmates who knew just how to coax the right sounds out of Olympia’s late summer and make this album such a whirl of audio pleasure.

Young • Climb Over • “I love you so much!” • I have been told that my skin is exceptionally smooth. • Thanksgiving The new Microphones album Live in Japan February 19th, 21st and 22nd, 2003 features previously unreleased material from singer/songwriter Phil Elverum. These 11 songs are only a sampling of all new songs performed by Elverum in a two-week tour of Japan in early 2003. After spending five months in isolation in Norway, Elverum emerged with a cache of heart-felt and reflective songs reminiscent of The Glow Part II. A drastic change from 2002’s epic tale of Mount Eerie, we find Elverum playing acoustic pop songs with the bare minimum backing of instrumentation. Kyle Field (Little Wings) and Calvin Johnson (Dub Narcotic Sound System) join Elverum on “Universe Conclusion” and “I Love You So Much.” “Climb Over” features The Mools as the backing band. Critical acclaim: “Not since Guided by Voices’ Alien Lanes have so many unique pieces of melody and music merged to form something this unexpectedly chilling and yet ultimately comforting.” Amplifier Magazine ALSO AVAILABLE by THE MICROPHONES: Don’t Wake Me Up CD/LP (K Records) KLP099 It Was Hot, We Stayed In The Water CD (K Records) KLP116 The Glow Pt.

  • Jason Anderson New England
    JASON ANDERSON NEW ENGLAND CAT#: KLP148 FORMAT: CD RELEASE DATE: 3.16.04 LABEL: K RECORDS UPC: 789856114825 Box 7154 Olympia, WA 98507 (360) 786-1594 fax (360) 786-5024 www.krecs.com For Kyle • Pen Pals • You Fall • A Book Laid on Its Binding • The Moment • I Swear I Am • Hold On • Thanksgiving • I Want My Summer Back • So Long • Christmas Jason Anderson returns with a studio collaboration with Phil Elvrum of the Microphones/Mount Eerie. New England glows with honest songs and the joy of working with friends. K compatriots Calvin Johnson, Khaela Maricich of the Blow, Adam Forkner of Yume Bitsu/[[VVRRSNN]], Mirah and Elvrum all contribute to the music and the loose, inspired arrangements. After completely finishing an album in 2002 Anderson decided to return to the studio in the summer of 2003 and re-record the best songs from his last year of performing. The result is Jason at his finest: songs with an evolved writing style and obvious maturity. The off-the-cuff, "first take" sessions were so transcendent that Phil even donated a new Mount Eerie song, "Thanksgiving", to the project, as it was recorded with the same pick-up band and was in line with the album's vision and emotional timbre. "You Fall” is an inspired duet between Anderson and Elvrum, their voices intertwining through the melancholy anthem's sublime production. The song flows seamlessly into "A Book Laid On Its Binding"--a song written by Jason's good friend and tour mate Joe Knapp, of Omaha's Son, Ambulance. It consists of nothing more than piano, Jason, and the golden, heartbreaking voice of Mirah.

Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.
