On the latest episode of Doing Music, Luke Blair talks to host Craig Shuftan about his archive of unfinished sketches and ideas, which become essential inspiration and source material for new work. As Lukid, his imaginative approach to beat-making, melodic composition and noise is full of playful curiosity, but it also responds sensitively to his surroundings. Amongst the reflections on process and ideas, we hear about Blair’s long-lost tape player, the appeal of trying to make textbook jungle and the elusive moment when a piece of music is finished.
