How do you come up with really fresh-sounding and intriguing sounds within modern electronic music these days?
Very often, with all the individual approaches and touches out there considered, hearing something that actually jumps out as including something that sounds at least a bit different is becoming a rare occasion.
Maybe one of the approaches to do so is living and working quite remotely, an approach that was taken by Israeli musician, music producer, and visual artist Leaor Adler, who works under the pseudonym of Lamedd.
On Permit, Adler does work within the tried and true concept of contradictions between light and dark, beauty and darkness, or even horror if you will, but he takes an intriguing approach, where the differences between the two polarities quickly become blurred, making it a bit harder to distinguish which is which. At the same time, he doesn’t make any sacrifices as to the quality of his music or the ability of the listener to stay engaged and, ultimately, enjoy his musical creation.
As Adler explains, “Permit boasts the ability to express my violent urges, weakness, softness, impulsiveness, and power in the same breath.
“I allowed my music to scream, wail, cry; To express myself without any filters. I improvised the tracks without fully knowing where I was going.”
And it is exactly that improvisational impulsiveness that gives Permit its fresh-sounding and intriguing elements.
