The Quickie

$20

I am really excited about having the chance to help you develop your musical ideas, your mixes, your musicianship, your career and anything else I can help with.

 

I have written, produced, and mixed over a thousand pieces of music and I have had something I created or helped shape, played somewhere in the world, every week for over 20 years, whether it be on radio, television, cinema, online or anywhere else you can think of. I have managed to do a few gigs along the way as well.


Music is about expressing yourself and creating magic. It is how I connect to other people and the world around me.


I am guessing that if you are on this site, it is probably the same for you. Not only that, but you are doing one of the smartest and most important things you could ever do. You are searching for the knowledge to better yourself and your music.


Let me help you discover new ways of approaching your music. Some things might be technical, if we are discussing your mixes. Some things might be physical, if we are talking about how you are with your instrument. I don't have all the answers, no one does, but I can promise you one thing. I will do my best to share with you as much as I can to help you on your way.

I'm a musician working with an ever-changing array of genres, instruments, and practices, currently based in Chicago. Coming from a background in jazz and sound design, I try to discover how people, places, and technologies can have unique musical interactions, working as an active freelancer and cultural organizer who believes in the power and importance of seeking the unusual.

I've released multiple albums and had my work featured at DOCNYC, the Darmstadt Fereinkurse (Germany), Steppenwolf Theater (Chicago), Trinity College Dublin, Nordic Percussion Festival, Ostrava New Music Days (Czech Republic), and the Banff Centre (Canada).

Vocal/Guitar/Song Review

Hi there! My name is Lucas - welcome to my PIVODIO profile!


Music is my lifeblood. Crafting and digesting songs is my greatest passion, inspiration, purpose, and pursuit. I believe that music has the power to transcend boundaries between the human mind and the abstract world around us in ways that no other medium can replicate. Music is feeling, music is storytelling, the most digestible pill with some of the most profound impacts.


I am a lifelong musician with projects ranging across many genres from Jazz to Pop. I have toured the country, competed in jazz festivals, and studied electronic/studio music at UC Santa Cruz.


Nothing brings me more joy than helping others realize their potential to create art that is unique to them and only them.


Whether you're interested in songwriting, refining production, sprucing up your lyricism, or even just looking for an outside perspective on a nearly finished product - I would be honored to be a part of your journey and offer you all that I can.
