Leandro - Thank You

Here it is, technically the first of the free release series I want to do in 2018.

This is a track I have been sitting on for a while now, I think I had it done before "Spirit Continuum" and I never felt fully satisfied with it, But recently I went back, toyed around with the mix a bit more and added a few things and now I'm pleased to share with you: "Quiet Conclusions". 

Quiet conclusions is a term I like to use for breakthroughs. It's the type of conclusion that happens when you aren't paying attention. These conclusions like to creep up on you when you've already sucked out all of the air in your brain to think. And that is exactly what I tried to recreate with this track. A sort of introspective and apathetic start that wavers in and around a groove that's meant to suck you in. And when you least expect it, the breakthrough. The other side, a side of dreamy relaxation and appreciation for randomness that, at least in my case, brings a sense of ease to existence. 

Enjoy!

Much Love <3

Leandro - Quiet Conclusions (Original Mix)

Here’s my new track that I’m giving away for free as part of my “One Free Song a Month” Challenge for 2018. 

This month I decided to give a sort of homage to one of my big inspirations and give myself a bit of a creative challenge in the process. 

Reggie Watts is a “crazy” personality that lights me up whenever I’m taking music too seriously. You can see what I mean by looking at his performances where he combines humor and sound in a way that is entertaining but also technically and creatively quite advanced. 

What’s still mind-blowing to me is that he improvises a great majority of his performances! Recently, it struck me that perhaps one of the reasons he’s so good at what he does is because he found a way of balancing intense seriousness and focus whilst also throwing seriousness completely out the window. Which allows him to be very creative and open on the spot. 

About the track - I made about 90% of the track just from sampling the audio of one of Reggie’s performances, "Send-off in Style". Everything from the claps to the bass line and the vocal chops came from manipulating the audio through different methods of sound design. This is also a first for me as I've never made a track at a fast tempo like 145 BPM before.  

If you’re interested in seeing what goes into sampling and creating the sounds for something like this, feel free to leave a comment or DM me. If I see enough interest, I’ll give up being shy and upload a video on my youtube channel explaining and showing how I go about it. 

And as for the Papaya on the cover, if you follow my work, you know I like naming my music after meaningful and deep topics...But for this one I just wanted to thank Reggie and his way of inspiring me to be more random so I put a Papaya on the cover as I was recently in Panama enjoying this beautiful fruit and I now find myself now in Berlin missing the taste. Plus, here Papayas are expensive and never in season and I wanted to bring some back with me but it’s illegal to import fruits by yourself due to customs and so forth, but that’s neither here nor there lol 

Enjoy!

Much Love

Leandro - Reggie Watts is Boss (Original-ish Mix)

Pleased to share Kossov's remix of my track "Chrysalis", the closing track from my EP "Spirit Continuum". Love what he's done with it by taking the original and taking it in a different direction filled with hypnotism and rampant energy.

Enjoy! <3
