Lotus Premiering ‘Free Swim’ In-Studio Video Album

Lotus will premiere an in-studio video album for their recently released LP, Free Swim. The Free Swim Video Album will air tonight at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on the jamtronica act’s YouTube channel and will also feature a live chat with band members.

Produced by Darkslide Media, the in-studio visual album — filmed at Philadelphia’s Spice House Sound — also features editing and generative animation programming by the band’s Jesse Miller. Jesse detailed the project in a statement.

Read Miller’s words below:

The Free Swim Video Album consists of in-studio videos of all 10 album tracks, each with their own unique style. It gives a close-up look of the recording process from the tracking room at Spice House Sound. Some of the videos also include animation layers using the same custom system we recently started using live with Lotus. Different generative programming patches respond to kick and snare triggers, MIDI data tied to the music and real-time movements on controllers. This brings a subtle element of the live light show into the studio.
