Son Lux is Ryan Lott. After studying composition at Indiana University School of Music, Ryan moved to Cleveland, OH, where he lived for six years, earning a reputation as a versatile and zealous collaborator. Equally at ease in the creative company of choreographers, classical musicians, and break dancers, he cut his teeth spear-heading multi-disciplinary “performance parties,” composing music for modern dance companies, and collaborating with musicians across many genres. His works have been performed throughout the US and Europe, including the Guggenheim’s Works & Process Series in New York City, and the World Saxophone Congress in Slovenia.

In the cracks of time and energy between Ryan’s collaborations, “Son Lux” was born out of an urge to finally set about making an album of his own. It began as an experiment and a personal creative challenge. What Ryan, as Son Lux, wove together over 4 years in his attic studio, is the album many critics call one of the best records of 2008. It is At War With Walls and Mazes, an impressive debut which earned Son Lux the title of “Best New Artist” and “#1 Greatest Unknown Artist of 2008” by NPR.

Ryan moved to New York City in 2007 while still finishing up the Son Lux record, and has since become a sought-after remixer, reimaging the music of Beirut, Headlights, Sole, Anathallo, Takka Takka, Jamie Lidell, Mute Math, and Nico Muhly, among others. On January 20th, 2009, Asthmatic Kitty released an EP of Son Lux’s My Brightest Diamond remixes. Ryan’s current works in progress include 2 large-scale commissions from choreographers Stephen Petronio and Gina Gibney, and a second Son Lux album.
