remakes of lara is simply put, eight reworkings of lara brodsky's piece for voice and loop pedal, offering the mandala. nearly a year ago we approached lara about centering a luvsound project around her piece. a few seasons later, the work has been put through eight different reimaginings, including one by lara herself. we're incredibly excited with the results. each remake explores the source material from a different and interesting angle, exploding the original into a nearly hour long meditiation. please brew a pot of tea, find a comfortable spot, and enjoy.
