Second Skin from Minutehand by Lulluxe

Second Skin opens the collection with its specific brand of quiet. A velvet calm pervades, though not without a careful, almost reluctant, undercurrent of tension. It’s a subtle tug, a first soft refusal against the expected rush, a quiet resistance that recalls past efforts to impose human rhythm onto mechanical time. Silk-muted viola and subharmonic cello lay down long tones, exhaling and inhaling with a measured grace. Prepared violin threads through this, forming delicate lacework patterns. The track’s architecture reveals a gradual widening of intervals; a doorway opening, slowly. This development transitions the listener from a state of quiet guardedness to a fragile receptivity. In its final moments, a hint of the album’s central four-note heartbeat appears, a premonition, a barely audible anchor suggesting a future synchronicity, before dissolving, leaving the space primed for whatever comes next.

We make music for the quietest parts of your day. Our strings, soft and precise, invite you to breathe slow. Just listen, feel it.
