From the start, Son Lux has operated as something akin to a sonic test kitchen. The Academy Award® and BAFTA-nominated band strives to question deeply held assumptions about how music is made and reconstruct it from a molecular level. What began as a solo project for founder Ryan Lott expanded in 2014, thanks to a kinship with Ian Chang and Rafiq Bhatia too strong to ignore. The trio strengthened their chemistry and honed their collective intuition while creating, releasing, and touring six recordings, including Brighter Wounds (2018) and triple album Tomorrows (2021). The result is a carefully cultivated musical language rooted in curiosity and balancing opposites that largely eschews genre and structural conventions. And yet, the band remains audibly indebted to iconoclastic artists in soul, hip-hop, and experimental improvisation who themselves carved new paths forward. 

Distilling these varied influences, Son Lux searches for equilibrium of raw emotional intimacy and meticulous electronic constructions. Son Lux scored A24’s Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once for which they were nominated for two Academy Awards and a BAFTA. The full score album features new collaborations with Mitski, David Byrne, Randy Newman, and Moses Sumney, among others.

We are musicians, Djs, Producers. We support and make non-commercial electronic music and art in general.

Hi, I'm Korb aka onkel emil and here is my music.

I'm a Munich based singer-songwriter and producer shaping my inner feelings into dreamy, indie/alternative sounding compositions. Writing, recording and producing by myself, I try to capture the moment and be as intuitive as possible. My songs develop very fast because I prefer the Beatles-like process of producing and recording a song within a few days. Everything you hear is pretty raw and natural, usually recorded in one or two takes. This results in atmospheric soundscapes, post-rock parts and folk elements.
