Cookin up some 🔥 in the car with Cxltxre.
Ok so I released a lot I the last year. A part of what I have released was a genre I created termed “Lofly”.
Lofly- A sub genre of lo-fi with the weightless feeling of the flight if a butterfly.
Sometimes I accomplish this by the vibe if the melody itself. Other times I use stutter fx, layered synths and arpeggiated chord progressions. At times I will choose a lighter style of instrumentation using flutes, synth pads, acoustic drum 🥁 kits and strings with reverb, filters, and delays.
As I was listening to my track Lofly/Cooldown I realized that the one thing that also ties these tracks together is that almost all of them were done as live sets. Check out this new Lofly collection if you have any questions moment to chill n listen. 🙏🏾

P.S. 2-Guy doesn't have lofly in the title because of a distro change but this was a part of the original set.
P.S.S. Shit this may be an ep or a mixtape on its own?!? 😂🔥🤯

SIMPLEXITY [yes i made this word up]: Simplexity for me is when art 🖼️ is executed in an individualistically complex manner but its final product is simple enough for any person to understand.
Sometimes I want my music to just hit you with a feeling no words. Other times I’m just talking my shiid cuz I know we all want to in our own ways.
But recently I’ve been trying to take a step back and reflect on what I have completed and released so far so I can decide ok where do I go from here. What do I want to achieve with each new track I make?
I am constantly asking myself questions…
Are these levels too high? Should I cut this part or that part? Can a beat have melodies and counter melodies and still go hard af? Is this too much compression? Are the dynamics building up to something? Etc.
At the end of it all though I find myself saying. Have I achieved Simplexity? Is this simple enough to digest while still expressing the little orchestrative lines I wish to include.
Its a process. It takes as long as it takes. I'm enjoying the grind tho. 💯
