Doing beats/making music has been my life since I was a kid and I have taken the time to learn how to read and write music and played by ear at first before I took classes to learn more how to play pieces and how to compose my own work. In this new day and age of the indie music making scene, I have been struggling to find my place since the majority wants to be seen today so what was once unique has kind of lost its value to me since I came across beatmaking on my own no one showed me or told me about the craft. I had my influences, but I just fell in love with creating my own music. I have done electronic, hiphop, jazz, classical, country, any genre you could think of, along with using sound effects when I thought it was unique and now I have had to step back in tune with myself now and why I made music in the first place to never lose myself in this new indie music community where the physical appearance/connections and hoping for overnight/mainstream success and chasing people for validation/collabs mean more than the art and talent of making the music. I have suffered a little bit of an identity crisis because if anyone can make beats today using ai or loops, what does that mean for the real musicians who have taken years to hone their craft while the new just know how to promote right and that every device now comes with a DAW app and distribution deals are everywhere, but where is the originality anymore and when will the independent music scene be about the music again not who you know or how attractive you are? So I'm going back to my electronic/techno roots with this one to remember to make music fun again. Every melody and every drum beat you hear is all me in Cubasis using my midi keyboard and my beat pad that my husband bought me to help me continue to grow musically since he's an audio engineer/music composer too that I met in music theory class in college 2015 and has been my best friend on this journey! And this beat is for anyone else going through an identity crisis in anything that you do you are not alone.

Shanghai's @LaughingEars makes her @Decisionsrecords debut this February with 'Blue Dusk' EP. 

Previously Laughing Ears has released music via Beijing’s Ran Music and Hangzhou’s FunctionLab, and NTS stans may recognise her name following radio appearances on the cult East London station.

Sonically, Laughing Ears orbits around a kind of explorative, cyberpunk-ish universe as she draws from ambient, bass, footwork and noise. Here on 'Blue Dusk', she's "extending her praxis of psycho-sonic inquiry" (says the label) in order to "deep-dive [into] a crepuscular environment teeming with insectile percussion and thrumming sub bass, illuminated by brilliant searchlight melodies".

DECISIONS will release 'Blue Dusk' on February 21. Pre-order above and tune into EP cut 'A Tinge Of Hope' now.
