about

Left Handed debut release is a colourful 3 track ep of electronic dance music.

1 - Rare Beauty
This is the track which triggered the whole idea of the label. Having worked on this piece already for a fair amount of time, I found myself irritated by the fact that the music was going to take a certain direction because while I was enjoying it, I kept thinking how hard this direction would make it to release on the labels I was in touch with.
Still, I could not just leave this tune sit there. I felt there was something, I loved the melodic line which breaks in magically, its seventies sound and the fact that here I tried for the first time to compose a real “theme”, like I feel it is saying something.
And then, the break, a programmed acoustic drum part which takes the music somewhere else, to a crescendo that reaches out of the club atmosphere, in a progressive-rock way.
I tried to produce this as it would be a band performing, a person behind the hi-hat, a person (several maybe) clapping, and so on. I tried to imagine all this people in a studio and me behind a console.

2 - Bare Duty
As I decided that the line to follow for the structure of the eps will be a main track, a more four to the floor reconstruction of it, and a third electronic number, I opened up the Rare Beauty project with my sequencer and started to chop and reloop it.
After a couple of hours, I found myself dancing on my chair to one of the rare really pumping techno tracks I think I ever made. This reminded me how remixing (someone else or oneself too) is always a stimulating and engaging operation, a chance to find out and improvise with new languages. I think this track has some solid energy.

3 - Marion
This third track is a quieter one, where still the rhythm plays a fundamental role, and its movement is based on a recurring one-note break to build tension and its resolution in those marimba-like chords.
It reminds me a bit of a track called Chamber I released on Liebe*Detail a couple of years ago. It has that lightness, still I feel it's more focused that that older one.
