Aaron 'Laszlo' Wheeler plays a medley of every song on Lydian Collective's debut album in this video, 'Adventure in Six Minutes'
Most of our tracks start out as solo pieces on piano/guitar before being arranged for the band. In this video we wanted to give you an insight into the compositional and harmonic origins of the music...
The elements that make up our songs - composition, intervals, scales/modes (mainly Lydian/Dorian/Aeolian), melodic and rhythmical decisions - are easier to hear when they're stripped back in solo piano form.
As professional composers we’re constantly trying increase and expand our knowledge and understanding of harmony and rhythm to get closer to the sound we want to create, tell a story and take people on a unique journey.
Hopefully this comes across in the LC sound. :)

About Lydian Collective:
With nearly 1.3 million views to date on their YouTube channel, a host of solo credits between them (from Roots Manuva to Monument Valley), London’s Lydian Collective are an exciting new musical voice who are about to make their mark in the UK and beyond. The band brings together Aaron ‘Lazslo’ Wheeler (keys), Todd Baker (guitar), Ida Hollis (bass) and Sophie Alloway (drums) – four musicians with individual success under their belts, who have found a collective voice through the band’s music.
The Lydian Collective sound is a unique combination of accessible melodies, accomplished musicianship, hypnotic rhythms and an uplifting vibe, which has already been drawing in audiences from around the world. A unique combination of jazz musicianship, melodies that catch the ear and the heart, and infectious rhythms is brought together to winning effect on their first single release “Thirty One”, followed quickly by "Legend of Lumbar" and "Cascades" – and the debut album “Adventure” in March 2018.
