LXD

(LXD) is a collaboration between Montana natives Lori Eschler and Dale Flattum, who were lured to Seattle’s underground scene in the early 1980s and, after 3 decades apart, have reconnected to create LXD —fusing Lori’s manipulated drones and loops with textures Dale builds from tape loops, found sounds, guitar, and vocals. The result is a soundtrack to reconnection.

Lori Eschler is a musician and composer known for her experimental music editing on Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me, where she worked closely with David Lynch developing the musical language of this iconic story. Her composition approach blends acoustic elements and electronic manipulation into a layered music collage. In addition to her film work, she has played in The Bozeman Symphony and numerous bar bands ranging from rock, pop, punk, to country.

Dale Flattum is a founding member of Steel Pole Bath Tub, the influential San Francisco noise rock band. After 10 years of touring, he continued pushing sonic boundaries in the studio with Milk Cult, Novex, and Agent Nova, exploring noise, sampling, and low-fi pop. Also an accomplished visual artist, Dale’s work spans collage, poster art, photography, and graphic design, and has been heralded around the world. He remains a vital force in underground music and art.
