New York City, NY

Son Lux (b. Ryan Lott), is a New York City, NY composer / musician / remixer.

Son Lux is 32-year-old producer-composer Ryan Lott, a man classically trained, but rewired by his own design. A frequent collaborator and consummate “man behind the curtain,” with Son Lux, the New York-based auteur takes center stage. Somewhere between the concert hall and the dingy hip-hop club, you’ll find his haunting liquid soundscapes, born of beatwise means, rich in their orchestral warmth, always hinting at some divine unreachable height.

Lott was born in Denver in 1979. At 2, he moved to California; at 5, to Connecticut. His father made industrial adhesives; his mother made the home; he had one brother and one sister. Piano lessons were a family rule and Lott began at 6, counting down the clicks of the egg-timer. He hated it, and by 12, knew he wouldn’t be a concert pianist. He’d be a composer instead, but offset this revelation by performing Nirvana covers on guitar in middle school dance bands. His parents brought him to Atlanta for high school, where he picked up the drums, a punk band or two, and a piano teacher who sneaked in a few lessons in jazz and pop.

In his third year studying composition at Indiana University, Lott began collaborating with the dance student who would become his wife, writing music to her choreography. After college in Cleveland, he conceived a multimedia art gala dubbed CONNECT whose second event featured 30 artists of various inclinations. (Lott collaborated with 20.) With his wife, he co-founded the charitable ASH Ensemble, and later composed a piece for saxophone and tape that debuted in Slovenia.

Can’t wait for folks to see/hear this! nathanjohnson: Bruce Willis speaks (highly!) about Looper and Mr. RCJohnso in this month’s Esquire (Willis) really wants to talk about  Looper, the tale of a time-traveling corporate assassin …
