WHO IS ITEM?
ITEM is led by Lewis Cook of Free Love
Lewis is a musician from Glasgow and has been creating electronic music for half of his life as a musician, producer, engineer and DJ.
In that time he's hauled synthesizers and drum machines across the US, India, Russia and almost every country in Europe to perform live. His work as part of Free Love has been released on Night School Records, Optimo Music, Lost Map Records, Believe Music and Domino, and has been nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year award four times. He has produced and remixed music for many other artists - most recently remixes for Charlotte Gainsbourg and Django Django.
Previously, Cook has helped lead the electronic music workshops and continues to contribute to the Sonic Youths project at the Green Door Studio in Glasgow.
He is a qualified vinyasa yoga teacher and likes to grow mushrooms in his spare time.
Classes are assisted by Moema Meade aka Lady Neptune
Moema Meade has worked extensively as a session Bassist, Producer, DJ, vocalist, and solo artist. Having first embraced the London DIY Punk scene, she picked up work as a session musician which led to her creating an expansive network within the industry be it DIY artists or more commercially established acts. This eventually brought her to Glasgow where she established herself as a solo electronic act and performance artist releasing music under her alter ego Lady Neptune on indie label Night School Records and continues to work, produce and perform as a solo artist, in collaborative projects and as a live and recording session musician.
WHO IS ITEM FOR?
