![]() I do experiment a lot, that’s what making music is all about. That’s my goal for every beat I release, in addition to collage artwork, I try to deliver an experience with every beat.ĭo you feel like experimenting with other fields of lo-fi music? For me I’ve always had a unique take on lo-fi, I like music that can tell a story without uttering a word. Instead of pushing boundaries, a lot of producers are becoming complacent, trying to get a large audience over becoming a unique artist. The trend at least for now is soft repetitive music perfect for Youtube streams and Spotify playlist. Right now I see the lo-fi scene as the wild west in music right now, kind of an anything goes attitude, my hope is that it will always be like this, but that’s naive to think. What do you think about the future of Lo-Fi? How will you transform with it? ![]() My advice would be to connect with people and create bonds with them. I’m very thankful I’ve gotten to work with people who I look up to a lot and even be able to call them a friend. It was a joint effort between every person I’ve met and connected with through music. I’m not going to take full credit for what I have now, even though I’m not the biggest lo-fi artist, I’m thankful for what I have. There’s no such thing as a self-made person. How did you grow your audience to what it is today? Do you have any advice for future/current artists in lo-fi? I found them because they were really connected to future funk and vaporwave which was the type of music I made prior to devoting my effort to lo-fi. I got introduced to lo-fi through a group called the coast crew, they’re all well-known artist like datfootdive,, and a couple other members. Most days i find myself talking to them more than anyone in my real life. Everyone pretty much knows everyone and we’re all like-minded individuals. My favorite aspect about lo-fi is the community around it, it’s unlike anything else in music. What’s your favorite thing about the Lo-Fi hip hop genre? ![]() As soon as I’m done with class, I’ll usually go digging for samples, finish up beats or start new ones. What is your daily schedule like? How does lo-fi hip hop fit into your schedule?Īs far as my daily schedule, I’m in college right now, but I still devote a large amount of my time to my productions. I was making music under a different name before then, but i was really inspired to start making lo-fi beats because of how unique the music was and how the producers involved were constantly pushing boundaries and were just doing their own thing. Before then I was still around in the scene, I just wasn’t actively making lo-fi. I started Linanthem during the summer of 2016. How long have you been doing music as Linanthem? My first two words were lint from my pocket and “Gotham City” from Batman. I was watching an episode of Regular Show where “Rigby” was coming up with his artist name and put the first two things he saw together and that was his name. I get asked a lot about the name I choose and where it comes from, but there’s no grand story behind it unfortunately. What is the back story behind the name “Linanthem”? As for my ethnicity, i’m pretty much black and a little bit of white. My names is Esaias, it’s kind of an unusual name, as far as I know its Greek for Isaiah. You want the track to come across as one package, not multiple layers competing for attention.What is your name? Would you like to share your ethnicity? Similarly, using EQ and FX can take out the sharpness to some of your sounds. If one channel is too intense, you can use a limiter to restrict it being too loud. Make sure all your channels are sitting at a similar level and no one element is too overpowering. 5 Mix itĪ good mix is all about how it sounds to you - you are the judge. For samples, crackling fire or vinyl scratching are the vibe you want to go for. If you’re stuck, try the “Lo-fi Crush” or “Light Sizzle Crusher” FX in Serato Studio. Play around with any cool FX you have and slot them in where you think they best fit. The “Sat Bass” in Serato Studio is a great option if you’re stuck. Make sure you’re creating a bassline that’s conscious of your drum beat, and using the right sounds. Add some bass in to compliment your drum beat. Serato Studio’s Core Pack has the perfect drum kits for lo-fi. Allow the drums to sound imperfect, experiment with some old school sounds you like. 2 Add a dusty drum beatĪdd some drums in, keep the tempo slow and relaxed (70BPM - 90BPM). Vintage keyboards are the best to use, so searching “vintage” in Serato Studio will turn out some great options - remember, old school is the best school. You can select a sample you like, or create chords using a virtual instrument. It’s all about nostalgia - start with some chilled out sounds to create your main loop. ![]()
