about

The third part of the Studio Works instalment is a musical voyage inside and outside the Left Handed studio, with a strange buzzing presence as a special guest.
`
1 - The Hornet pt. 1
Making music in the studio is most of the time an abstraction from reality and its practical issues. Still imagine which state of mind I got while working on a special piano piece that I was loving so much, when I noticed a huge buzz. No, no speakers broke nor weird hums or broken cables: a huge hornet was flying around the entrance of the room, finding some space to hide between the heavy curtain and the sliding door I built. I cannot listen to this music without thinking how tense I was because of its scary presence while turning knobs and recording elements to give the arrangement a more precise direction.

The pulses of this track reflect this dichotomy between the two states of being lost in sound and being back to reality, jumping on my seat when I felt the noisy monster got closer. I think I am getting better into filling up dense layers in a more organic and natural way. For how much it’s outer world, I still think there’s as much of this earth inside those percussive tracks.

2 - The Hornet pt. 2
Dealing so much and so closely with a piece of music makes you normally almost hate it. But if the material is good, and mutiple solutions are possible, it’s just a joy to decide to go forward with it, extend it, develop it further. I thought to get back to the dreamy elements, if possible even more fluffy, with those string samples that open up this second part. Still I opted for a more steady and regular pace for the rhythm, and I kept the spacey sugges- tions more as cinematic effects to surround the pulsing basses.

3 - Atomo
Another take on those buzzying sounds, definitely reduced the imaginative elements and kept it as dry as I can. Still things keep moving around, it’s still a live and organic thing.
