LC is two guys working together to create music you've never dreamt of before. Skye van Duuren is the resident composer and MIDI programmer, who records guitar and vocals for the band when he can. He is a student of music composition and jazz at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, but also learns as much as possible about audio technology in his spare time, and life in general. Skye writes every note you hear from scratch - no drum loops, no bass loops, no harmonizer on the piano, arpeggiator, nothing like that. What the listener receives is something very organic and free-flowing, and hopefully very stylistic and enjoyable. Skye does some of the mixing too. Robert Rice is the resident sound guy, mixer and computer wrangler. He is a student of engineering at Southwestern Community College, but also reads up on audio technology and everything else. Robert takes care of all of the computer business (Skye hates the Mac interface) and about half of the actual mixing process as well. The process of mixing involves finding the right sounds for our instruments, making every tone perfect, making sure everything can be heard at all times, making sure nothing is out of place or stands out, and other technical nonsense. It can simply mean you get the best representation of what's written, but the mix can be part of the composition itself - listening to MIDI files isn't nearly as fun as the fully produced track! Our music is mainly programmed and sequenced with computers, but don't be fooled: it's not all beepy and mechanized like you might imagine. We do the best we can with what we have. bAlthough we do try to have some themes present in all the songs/works, each one is different from the next, and sometimes changes radically as it unfurls, so we advise you just to listen, have an open mind, and we promise you'll hear some totally new, exciting music.
