The story of CICLOIDE.
Album by Manuel Bellesa

After 25 years playing Hammond Organ, Manuel decided to return to his instrument - the Piano.
During the year-long pandemic lockdown he had recorded many songs and solos on piano for his youtube channel. His idea was trying to help himself and others get through that difficult time alone.
This was how the 'Cicloide' concept was born. Perhaps a cycle of civilization on Earth being completed? We don't know!

With this album, Manuel tries to show this cycle through his songs and improvisations.
From track 1 to 9, we observe a whole route entire journey that begins with the first sounds of the Universe and the arrival of living beings on Earth, until the peak of the cycle through a completely improvised piece.

At the age of 4, Manuel wanted to learn piano, which only happened years later. When he heard Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, he fell in love with Jazz and joined several groups in the 80s and 90s.
For the past 25 years, he has played Hammond, recording a CD of his originals with his trio.
After a pandemic and a long year lockdown, he decides to return to ​​the piano.
Here he is!
