Mixing dreams in inexact proportions

 
Fusioon was a Spanish progressive rock/jazz-rock/"Canterbury sound" band from the 70's, formed by Manuel Camp (piano, organ, moog, mellotron, vocals), Marti Brunet (guitar, vocals, synthesizer), Jordi Camp (bass, vocals) and Santi Arisa (drums, vocals, flute). Their first album, "Fusioon" (1972) was instrumental and focused on Manel Camp's keyboard abilities and shared similarities with Ekseption, Focus and The Nice. Their second album, also entitled "Fusioon" (1974), proved to be a major step forward adding some Canterbury influences like Egg, National Health and Soft Machine. Their third and last work "Minorisa" (1975) was more complex and approached the music of Zappa, King Crimson and Gentle Giant.

His 1970 theme for "Night Gallery" was the first all-electronic main title for a TV series, and his music for 1971 sci-fi thriller "The Andromeda Strain" became the first all-synthesizer score for a feature film;his music lent itself to sci-fi and horror projects, including orchestral scores for the pilot of "The Six Million Dollar Man" and the four-hour "Frankenstein: The True Story" (1973), which he recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra. Melle created landmark electronic scores for sci-fi TV movies including "A Cold Night's Death" and the four-hour "World War III." He wrote and performed music for several telefilms dealing with sensational murders, including "Fatal Vision," Ted Bundy story "The Deliberate Stranger" and "The Case of the Hillside Strangler."

His artistic abilities also led to album-cover paintings for Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins, as well as art-gallery showings in New York. Melle and his group, the Electronauts, debuted electronic jazz at the 1967 Monterey Jazz Festival. The following year, Verve released his "Tome VI," the first all-electronic jazz album.
