LaFlamme

LaFlamme is who I am on chill nights. I focus on lofi (nostalgia, warmth, vintage sounds, my sp404sx, analog drums, tape saturation), and house (chill, tech & minimal).

I have 28 years on the guitar, it's my weapon of choice. I produce in Logic Pro on a Mac Studio with UAD gear. My studio is my home. After graduating with honours from a Production/Engineering program I landed a job writing jingles full-time. I've landed songs for McDs, Bell, Rogers, Infiniti, Ikea, Quaker, Tim Horton's, and a bunch of others. I then had some beats placed in shows like Orphan Black, Lucifer, Workin' Moms, Hudson & Rex, etc.

I like tight mixes with plenty of bass and try to infuse my own personality into every track to give it some life and character. I keep my sessions & stems clean and I'm always making new music.

I've produced a lot of music in a lot of genres. I really enjoy anything that makes me feel good, lately that has been bass driven house, and lofi hiphop & electronica. Guitar is a big part of my setup and is almost always incorporated in my lofi beats.

I've performed as a lead guitarist, bass player, studio musician, and multi-instrumentalist live. Some memorable shows were: a sold out Opera House (Toronto) where I was on bass guitar & running Ableton alongside a vocalist on stage, spinning electro on the main stage at a club called The Mod Club (where I also had a residency playing minimal & tech on a secondary stage), and performing in a slew of punk bands when I was younger (still feel young though)

Apex Twin, Deadmau5, Jon Hopkins, Postal Service, every band on Warped Tour, Mother Mother, Metric, some folk/acoustic stuff, anything that feels genuine and made by a human.

Logic Pro, Mac Studio, Adam a7x, UAD, Ableton Push 2, SP404sx, Rc202, Volca beats, Plenty of guitars & basses, Serum, Omnisphere, LABS, Splice (typically for percussive sounds), Mojave mic, Gretch Catalina Birch drum kit (mic'd), and pretty chill lighting.

In a world that sometimes seems chaotic, unpredictable, frightening, unhinged, and just plain weird, music's one of the things that actually makes sense.
