Waxlimbs, Behind the Masks and the Art of Music Creation - The Lorenzo's Music Podcast
Listen on:
In this episode of Lorenzo’s Music Podcast, I meet members of the band Waxlimbs, Lex, Paul, and Olivia. They tell me about the evolution from electronic musicians to a full band. We discuss their backgrounds and experience that shape their sound. We talk about their creative process on their recent single “By the Neck” and recording it.
We also explore their DIY style, from building their own stage lighting setup to designing the bird masks they wear on stage. They also tell me about their concert film “From the Garden.”
Key Takeaways
- Band evolution: Waxlimbs evolved from a solo electronic project into a full band as each new member filled a specific roll.
- Recording music: The band changed its recording process to match each song, choosing between live tracking and layered.
- Remote collaboration: The process became a major part of the band’s workflow during the pandemic.
- Stage masks: Their masks became a defining part of the band’s identity, evolving into a 3D printed design.
- Lighting: The diamond lighting rig grew from DIY experimentation, using spare materials and Ableton integration to make the stage visuals respond to the music.
