“I’ve always thought of it as a tapestry. A visual puzzle”: Luxxury needs to visualise music to nurture creativity – here’s why
Dive into the electrifying world of Luxxury, where music meets a visual playground. The man behind the groove, Blake Robin, aka Luxxury, spills the beans on how he crafts his sonic tapestries with a splash of visual finesse. In a recent mind-bending episode of MusicTech‘s My Forever Studio podcast, Luxxury, in cahoots with the wizards at Audient, sheds light on his creative process that intertwines sound and sight.
In an era where music often speaks louder than visuals, Luxxury flips the script. For him, music isn’t just about what you hear – it’s about what you see. Robin delves into his early days, where he was a guitar-wielding maestro capturing riffs on a trusty four-track recorder. He found himself swimming in a sea of sound with 30 tapes brimming with musical musings. But here’s the catch – he had no clue how to knit these fragments into a cohesive masterpiece.
Enter the game-changer: Pro Tools. Armed with his first DAW, Robin faced a daunting challenge. How do you transform a tapestry of raw ideas into a symphony of sound? A chance encounter with Patty Boss, a home studio guru he discovered on Craigslist, turned the tide. With Boss’s digital wizardry, Robin’s musical puzzle pieces took shape within the realms of Pro Tools. Suddenly, his melodies found new life, each idea a brushstroke on his vibrant canvas of creativity.
From this digital rebirth emerged BBTALL, a tape embodying the essence of Luxxury’s sonic evolution. A concoction of his cherished riffs, this tape became the driving force behind his initial foray into production. Picture this: Luxxury cruising down the boulevard, tunes blaring, as he weaves together fragments of melody into his very first musical offspring.
