LAURA ESCUDÉ RELEASES HER NEW EP 

ENOUGHNESS

INSPIRED BY PERSONAL GROWTH 

AND SELF -LOVE

“Escudé’s talents transcend the work she’s lent to larger artists…”

 - Dancing Astronaut

“In order to really understand the complexities and genuine music crafting that she is doing, you’ll have to

immerse yourself into her work.” - Noisey

“We’re hearing, immersing and have fallen prey to the siren sound of this producer who already lends her

programming chops for Kanye West, Jay-Z and many other top dogs.” -VIBE

“Trained as a violinist, Escudé gravitated toward electronic music in college. At first, her work was within the realm of Warp Records-style intelligent dance music (IDM), but eventually it evolved into something more accessible.”  - Paper Magazine

“You are a badass, and you certainly have our attention.” - Hypebae

LISTEN TO ENOUGHNESS : HERE 

Los Angeles-based Future Classical artist and master technologist Laura Escudé has released her new EP ENOUGHNESS, that documents her journey to acceptance and self love. This past year of forced isolation pushed Escudé to confront her darkest inner demons and start the recovery process  from a 20 year eating disorder. Escudé 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 Escudé 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 Escudé, who became the world’s 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. Escudé 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

“As one of the pioneers in live show programming -- especially the use of Ableton Live software, now widely regarded as the industry standard -- Escudé has helped reshape how the concert industry uses electronic music and digital playback across virtually every genre of music.” - Billboard

These creative applications of technology made Escudé one of the world’s 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, Escudé 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 pace and schedule was just another week in her life. This is not an unusual story for creatives. Kanye was hospitalized for exhaustion for 10 days during The Life of Pablo Tour, Dave Chapelle spent time in the hospital for exhaustion during the Chapelle Show’s run….and the list goes on. This hospital stay was a wake-up call for Escudé and the start of an ongoing journey of self healing. She decided to not only apply the tools she gathered on this journey to helping herself, but channel her energy to help other musicians to live better and teach them how to “hustle healthier.” In 2017 she launched The Transmute™ Retreat,  a week-long workshop incorporating yoga, meditation, nature, live performance workshops, and community performances. Since then Transmute has evolved into multiple courses, The Transmute™ Accelerator online course to help artists accelerate their live performances using technology, and The Transmute™ Academy, a community dedicated to Ableton Live + Music Tech Courses & Events to help artists continue their growth in music and business, in addition to The Transmute™ Academy Masterclasses with special guest presenters 2x month. 

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. “I Love Me,” is a musical meditation on self love and was Escudé’s mantra throughout the pandemic. "Can I Hold You Anymore?" was written for Andrew Huang’s 4 Producers episode on YouTube, on which Escudé got the chance to collaborate with Jamie Lidell. “Embrace Your Shadow" was written with lyricist Lila Rose as another reminder to herself and all to love ourselves completely, even the darkest parts and “Unlimited Expansiveness” 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. “I use my compositions to practice embodied liberation and allow the creative space to be my teacher—to let the process be the process and let go of what it should be,” says Escudé. “I hope ENOUGHNESS becomes this for you too because you are ENOUGH.”

LISTEN TO “EMBRACE YOUR SHADOW” : HERE

Los Angeles-based artist, innovator, entrepreneur and live show designer Laura Escudé has released her new single, and most personal work to date “Embrace Your Shadow,” co-written with Lila Rose and announces her new EP Enoughness, due out May 11. Synthesizing her skills as a classically trained violinist and technical prowess, and avant-garde electronic producer, Escudé infuses neo-classical & sleek futuristic style with raw emotion elicited with her musical machines. 

Technology is a second language for Escudé, who became the world’s 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. Escudé 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 Escudé one of the world’s most in-demand live show designers and saw her touring extensively with these shows, collaborating with artists to create fresh, thrilling experiences for audiences worldwide.

“There’s more to a concert than an artist playing music: there are transitions, remixes of songs, and video and lighting production that has to be synced with the music. Ever wondered how this comes together so seamlessly? Laura Escudé—founder and CEO of live show design company Electronic Creatives and musical artist—is one of the most renowned people in this field responsible for creating live shows.”  - Forbes

In 2016, Escudé experienced awakening after tour burnout landed her in the hospital. She was exhausted, stressed, and at one of the lowest points in her life, and unsure how to get better. Escudé was forced to take a break from work and focus on her health. This physical, mental, emotional and spiritual process involved letting go of unproductive habits and thought patterns, facing her fears and giving up aspects of her life that didn’t serve her. Escudé was soon not just better, but for the first time in her life truly thriving, which became apparent in her work. Escudé shed the moniker of Alluxe, under which she had been releasing music for years and decided to put out music under her own name. This breakthrough inspired her to help others, particularly live performers to optimize their own health and well-being. In 2017, she launched The Transmute™ Retreat, a week-long workshop incorporating yoga, meditation, nature, live performance workshops, and community performances. In 2019, she launched The Transmute™ Accelerator online course to help artists accelerate their live performances using technology, and in 2021 launched The Transmute™ Academy, a community dedicated to Ableton Live + Music Tech Courses & Events to help artists continue their growth in music and business, in addition to The Transmute™ Academy Masterclasses with special guest presenters 2x month. The Transmute™ Accelerator is a year-long program, with launch events featuring top industry experts, such as Suzanne Ciani, The Album Leaf, and Sudan Archives.

 Personal growth is an ongoing process, and this past year of forced isolation was the catalyst for some heavy healing and self-work that Laura had been putting off for years. The stillness of 2020 pushed Laura into the start of the recovery process from a 20-year eating disorder, which she wrote about HERE on Medium. This healing journey is the inspiration behind “Embrace Your Shadow,” and the Enoughness EP as a whole.  It’s about learning to love yourself, especially the messy parts. “For me, music is the most inclusive space. It gives me full permission to create, be and express myself,” says Escudé. “I find when I am deep in musical reflection I feel the most free and expansive. When I honor the sounds that naturally come through me, I am healed. It is my intention for this track, and the full EP, to be a journey and space to cultivate knowing, healing, and for transformation.”
