Cool Hands

About Me

Cool Hands is the alter ego of Montreal sound personality Fredde Lancetti (who has also used the aliases Lukas Jackson, Lukas Uribe-Clark, Long Wing, Mr Romano, etc): a self-described "Renaissance Man -- but not the kind that wore curly-toe shoes or played the lute"
His lengthy, storied career has, to date, gone under-reported by what he calls the "quick to diss" media, almost definitely due to the fact that they are too busy making the news. Ever the optimist, Mr. Hands is confident that time is on his side in this and other matters of great significance
The music is "a commentary on life as I live it" -- an arrangement of powerful moments amid the background hum of existence in daily cycles. At the same time, the right music is able to improve the quality of the life which it reflects. (Some kind of magic?) Thus, music is dangerous because it is powerful
Mr. Hands exudes stoic confidence in "art as therapy", explaining that what is written, recorded, mixed, mastered, and distributed, is as faithful a translation as possible of the "crux of the message" of the persuasive chorus of voices in his head ..... Like a democratic Platonic Republic, with rhythm
