Lewis Nicolas Pesacov is a life long connoisseur of music. He holds two degrees, one in Classical Music Theory/Composition as well as one in German from San Francisco State University, having also studied at the Conservatory for Music in Trossingen, Germany. After returning from Europe to his west-coast musical roots, he launched two bands- Foreign Born, which has released two EPs and two albums, as well as Fool’s Gold, which has released one single and one album, all of which on reputable independent labels. When home from a busy touring schedule, Lewis lives in Los Angeles, writing and producing music for his bands, friend’s bands and for Black Iris.“
After touring with different acts, hearing their sets night after night, I usually end up hearing different musical vibes, ideas, parts, harmonies, etc to their music that’s not there already- it may just be the producer in me,” says Pesacov. “This leads quite easily into remixing their tracks. I almost see remixing as a modern way to cover songs – to re-contextualize the musical material, create something new – a different angle based on the same theme. This slips quite easily into my workflow at Black Iris as we’re all about creating a multitude of tracks with totally varying styles.”
Black Iris is a collective of musicians, deeply rooted within the independent music scene, which creates original and innovative compositions for entertainment, media and advertising campaigns. Black Iris developed its own record label under the moniker of White Iris Records as a natural extension of the established music collective. White Iris Records introduced itself to the world when it released the first Fool’s Gold 7” to much excitement and critical acclaim. White Iris Records is quickly establishing itself as one of the most pioneering labels today.
