A couple of years back, my wife announced she was going to take singing classes. I thought it was a great idea, but i never got to hear any. I'd never insisted much on making music with her. I'd want to, though.
As our flat was under renovation, we moved into a much smaller, temporary flat, and I was unable to install my studio. This was early 2021 and i figured I'd explore how far music production software had come on Linux. I was already using Ardour on Linux as a recorder/arranger/mixer, but pretty much none of the virtual synthesizers. I was blown away! The tools were so mature, so abundant! Did i even need my gear anymore? I quickly produced two beats that i proudly played to my wife. And to my delight, she asked if she could sing on them!!!
Thrown over the moon, i complied! Our first two tunes came out sweet, and i will say so myself! The lyrics of the first tune are pretty deep, about relationships with ourselves and fellow peers online, and how easy it is to forget that there's an actual living feeling person on the other side of the WiFi antenna. The second one, my favorite on the album, is much lighter and is a sort of musical postcard from a village in Andalusia that is dear to our heart: Garrucha.
Her name is Lie and mine is Set, and together we're Lies & Sets (Swedish translation of Lie's & Set's :D )
Our first EP is now available on #v4v #Podcast2. Hope you like it!
