For a song called “Sadness”, it got a little funny along the way.  I heard this song over at Gemma Cao page @psychological_music and was inspired to do an alternate mix of it.  So I did a quick mix, which mostly just added a beat and emphasized the bass, and then I sent it over to her for a listen and her thoughts.  She thought it sounded good and said to go ahead and post on my page.  I was thinking I was hitting upon something unique.  So I took that and expanded it and added a piano intro and interlude and tried to improve what I originally did.  But then I looked back at her original post https://soundcloud.com/elizabeth-cao-864001417/the-2-min-track-i-gave-to-brian-progeny-1 and this time I READ THE TITLE.  Hmmm.  I think I better go over to Brian’s @progeny-1-617773258 page and see what’s there.  And sure enough there is an alternate mix there too.  Doh!  Yes, but Brian’s version is fantastic.  Give it a listen https://soundcloud.com/progeny-1-617773258/sadness-gemma-n-progeny-1  Brian’s is much more developed and interesting than my mix, which is a little more laid back and traditional.  (Whatever that is?)  Oh well, I must learn to read things more thoroughly

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y is led by Robin Benjamins and features collaborations with composers and musicians from down the road, and from around the world.  These artists are:

Ladat's musical odyssey defies conventional labels and freely blends elements of rock, folk, country, and jazz into a rich and genre-bending style that invites listeners to explore the diverse spectrum of influences that shape his emotional and diverse compositions.
As an experienced composer and lyricist, Ladat weaves stories that deeply resonate with audiences and offers a captivating and immersive musical experience, where each song is an expression of boundless passion, creativity, and an unapologetic celebration of musical diversity.

Since 2021, Ladat has been collaborating freely with the Slovenian A7 Recording Studio and musicians around guitarist and drummer Blaž Pavšič, such as Uroš Mohorič (guitar), Gregor Alič aka Hanson or Peter Beznec (bass), and singers Anton Premec, Kristina Jelić, Maja Štebih, Hana Pavšič or Oliver Neff aka Titanic Jack.
