Lapositive is a 26 year old composer/performer from Santa Cruz, CA and Co-Founder of Renascence Festival. Originally born an raised in Los Angeles, he grew up surrounded by the music industry and entertainment business. From a young age he was encouraged to sing/play instruments and participate in musical theatre. Rather than compose songs using samples, he synthesizes and/or records all of the sounds that can be heard in his music. He plays trumpet, guitar, keyboard, and sings. His live sets consist of blending/processing pre-recorded sounds and live instruments. He likes to feature many talented musicians and incorporate their sounds into his both his sets and recordings. His music defies most typical genre assignments and is often described as downtempo, founded in hip-hop, bass, funk, jazz, and EDM. Lapositive attended UC Santa Cruz and got a degree in Neuroscience and a minor in Electronic Music. The electronic music program provided instruction in advanced skills of audio production, sound synthesis, composition, and computer-assisted/algorithmic composition. He learned to build from scratch both speakers and microphones, took coding classes on Python, SuperCollider, Pure Data, Max/MaxMSP Jitter, and synthesis/recording classes on recording/mixing in Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic, Reaper, etc. He learned quickly how to use rack mount synthesizers, Digital Audio Workstations, and process audio to his liking. The tools he acquired allowed him to begin to translate sounds from his mind, into music.
