b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Laura Escud\\xe9 over Zoom video!\\xa0
Los Angeles-based Future Classical artist and master technologist Laura Escud\\xe9 has released her new EP ENOUGHNESS, that documents her journey to acceptance and self love. This past year of forced isolation pushed Escud\\xe9 to confront her darkest inner demons and start the recovery process from a 20 year eating disorder. Escud\\xe9 spent such a large portion of her life obsessing over her physical and not loving herself, which she wrote about on Medium for National Eating Disorder Awareness week, living a life that was not sustainable, both physically and mentally. Music is where Escud\\xe9 feels the most free, and with ENOUGHNESS synthesized her skills as a classically-trained violinist and avant garde electronic producer, infusing neo-classical & sleek futuristic style with raw emotion to share her story.
Technology is a second language for Escud\\xe9, who became the world\\u2019s first Ableton Certified Trainer in 2008. In 2012, she founded Electronic Creatives, using her skills to hire and train programmers and playback engineers for artists including Logic, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Big Sean, Charli XCX, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Electronic Creatives has hosted several playback engineering training programs over the years, with the latest being MASTERTRACK Worldwide. Escud\\xe9 brought massive productions to life for the biggest and most influential artists in the world including Kanye West, Jay Z, Bon Iver, Missy Elliot, Herbie Hancock, and television megabrand American Idol.
These creative applications of technology made Escud\\xe9 one of the world\\u2019s most in-demand live show programmers and saw her touring extensively all over the world. With this level of success came the pressure to keep pushing herself to and in 2016, Escud\\xe9 experienced awakening after tour burnout landed her in the hospital. The night before she went to the hospital she was on stage at Madison Square Garden performing with Kanye West for the Life of Pablo release, the night before playing a show in San Francisco, and the night before that on stage performing with Miguel at the Forum.
This focus on her personal health and the health of her peers has given her a refreshed look on life, a newly lit creative fire that was funneled into the 4 songs on this EP. \\u201cI Love Me,\\u201d is a musical meditation on self love and was Escud\\u2019\\xe9s mantra throughout the pandemic. "Can I Hold You Anymore?" was written for Andrew Huang\\u2019s 4 Producers episode on YouTube, on which Escud\\xe9 got the chance to collaborate with Jamie Lidell. \\u201cEmbrace Your Shadow" was written with lyricist Lila Rose as another reminder to herself and all to love ourselves completely, even the darkest parts and \\u201cUnlimited Expansiveness\\u201d is an instrumental journey through space and time, to remind us to be expansive with our thinking. The more we focus on expanding, the faster we move through our limitations. \\u201cI use my compositions to practice embodied liberation and allow the creative space to be my teacher\\u2014to let the process be the process and let go of what it should be,\\u201d says Escud\\xe9. \\u201cI hope ENOUGHNESS becomes this for you too because you are ENOUGH.
