Turn Me Off (2020)
Turn Me Off is a collection of three songs and three videoclips created, produced and developed together. The idea was to create the videos based on 3 initial "beats" composed in October 2018 and edit shootings from Lou's travels between 2017-2019 to New York, Tulum, Cannes, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre. The creative process took 14 months where the songs and the videos were developed and polished, influencing each other in a symbiotic way.

Decompression (2016)
Decompression is a conceptual album in which each of the 10 tracks represents a period of some hours on a very busy day in the life of a creative professional.
Art, Money, Deadlines, Dreams, Clients, Personal Life, Creativity Unrest, Non-Art: These are the conflicts within the songs, the lyrics, and the album art. The English language was utilised to make the project universal.
Tags: Decompression, Catharsis, Non-use of chords (overlapping lines), Notes vs. Noises, Textures vs. Poetry, Melody vs. Collages, Recordings with cheap microphones vs. Recordings with Hifi Microphones, Digital Synths vs. Analog Synths, Drum Machines vs. Acoustic Drums, Electronic vs. Acoustic, 8 bit vs. Hifi, 3- to 4-minute songs. The album speaks for itself - just listen!
All tracks are composed, produced, performed, recorded, and mixed by Lou Schmidt.

Universo em fade (2011)
Universo em fade is the nervous, intense, and unquiet result of many years of composition and music production. A double album, dicotomicament is divided by affectios but united by a unique style: Distorted, aggressive, deep, and almost schizophrenic. This is an album from a music producer, a computer sounds manipulator. But it is also an album with some melodic songs, or what’s left of them.
All tracks are composed, produced, performed, recorded, and mixed by Lou Schmidt.
Special guest on Diamandas 1: Wal Avila – Vocais.
