| CD-DETAILS FASCINATING TININESS [LEYODE] |
|
 |  |
In his debut album "Fascinating Tininess" Yusuke Hama teams up with ATL homegirl Laurel Wells to create a unique brand of film score pop in a project dubbed LEYODE (pronounced Lee-Yode).
Though he played music most of his life - classical violin and piano as a kid, and guitar in his teens and on - Yusuke became more focused on film and photography in more recent years. While touring as a merch-man/documentarian with fellow Atlanta head Prefuse 73, he began to gravitate back toward music, citing total creative control as a powerful motivator.
Initially conceived while experimenting with French New Wave film clips, Leyode was born in earnest, when Yusuke enlisted Laurel's vocal talents on the track "Isabelle". They soon realized a positive working partnership, and began to expand on the concept. Gradually working on more songs, and applying more cinematic touches, Leyode took shape as a tribute to French actor Jean-Pierre Léaud.
While "Fascinating Tininess..." grounds itself in a beats-and-samples presence, it takes us on a low-flying tour over a range of emotional scenery. At times it feels like we're listening to the soundtrack of a movie we haven't seen yet.
"Fascinating Tininess..." is Leyode's introductory excursion into a world of scenic beats and cinematic melodies. Enjoy it. And stay tuned for more.
