Musical Maestro Lubomyr Melnyk Takes Center Stage in DROPS OF WATER documentary.

Good Point Productions and Albuquerque Film and Media Incubator present the Private World Premiere of the musical documentary: Drops of Water: Lubomyr Melnyk and his Continuous Music.

In the world of classical music, few artists dare to break the rules and create something transcendent. One such artist is Lubomyr Melnyk, the Ukrainian pianist known for his groundbreaking style of playing called Continuous Music. From a young age, Lubomyr displayed incredible talent on the piano. Trained in the classical tradition, he yearned to challenge the boundaries of traditional music. Through experimentation, he discovered new techniques, creating a continuous stream of sound with his fingers and the sustain pedal. His music became a fusion of classical and avant-garde, ethereal and hauntingly beautiful.

Lubomyr faced challenges finding an audience early on. His music was deemed too experimental by the classical world. Undeterred, he persisted, knowing his music had the power to touch souls. With time, his reputation grew, drawing larger audiences who were captivated by the beauty of his compositions.

Lubomyr's journey exemplifies the power of creativity and the courage to follow one's own path. His ethereal sounds continue to inspire, reminding us of the limitless potential within ourselves. His music is an invitation to explore uncharted territories, uncovering new and unheard realms within the realm of music.
