His previous album "Me" already indicated that there was more to come. AND is the logical continuation and the name says it all. Left Engelmann got a lot of support from the people he had been with for years. The album is a musical cross section with many different influences. But it's clearly a pop album, ranging from funk to synth-pop. The synthesizer is therefore an integral part of every song and shows Left's deep connection to this instrument.
A total of 10 musicians have contributed to this studio album alongside Left. Namely: Miss Rockester, Nelly Palmowske (medlz), Krishn Kypke, Edward Sikorski, Stephan Salewski, Fabian Weisenberger, René Prescher (Days of Fate), Guido Richarts (Strömkarlen, Ziganimo), Jan Kürschner AND Krech. A choir led by Victor Sepulveda Rodriguez was also specially hired. Left Engelmann was born in Dresden in 1980. At the age of 7 he was already enthusiastic about synthesizer music. His father brought him his first Casio synth from a trip. From that moment on, Left began to engage in music non-stop. At the age of 12 he taught himself to play drums and guitar.
A school friend showed him how to write music with the Commodore AMIGA. So he started to delve into the technical side of music. In 1996, with the help of his father, he started setting up his own recording studio. In 1999 he founded LSD-RECORDS.DE - Tonstudio Dresden with a friend of many years. Under this label he began to work as a music producer. More and more musicians hired him as a producer.
Since the early 2000s he has been recording bands from the rock, EBM, synthy-pop, folk music, a-cappella and acoustic-pop genres. He worked with bands like Absurd Minds, Days of Fate, Medlz, Strömkarlen and with artists like Stefan Johansson. He also produced arrangements for Anne Clark or Peter Spilles (Project Pitchfork). He never lost sight of his passion for composing his own music. In 2013 he finally studied media composition.
