This song is about the power we have as independent artists and how sometimes it feels like we're screaming into the void. Does the power belong to those who create it or those who sell it?

The Squeeze

Birds of Paradise

Birds Of Paradise

I created The Blast EP as an experiment in chance. I assembled a collection of different MIDI sequences and routed them to various hardware synthesizers and drum machines in my studio. I triggered these different clips and had a synth open, allowing me to respond and play melodies and bass lines that matched the presented chord progressions, moods, and ambiences. This process was performed live as a loose improvisation on an internet radio app called Blast. Blast is a platform for a community of artists and DJs to stream their performances live, which are then available for 24 hours before disappearing.The initial performance was recorded, and I found a kindred spirit in Aaron Shaw, a remarkable saxophonist. He embellished the 30-minute journey with additional melodies, adding layers of soul and emotion to this piece. Truly meant to be listened to front to back!

This song is the power of mystery. Nobody knows what they're doing really, and the unknown is the secret sauce in life in these days of social media and instant knowing. We should cherish the mystery as much as we can.

LYRICS

If I knew
What the secret to it was
If I could hear the future’s hum
If I knew
What was coming, how to deal
Well that wouldn’t be any fun

Sometimes it feels like what’s the use
Step back and see it all full frame
But if I didn’t
Have a couple days or weeks like this
The good ones wouldn’t feel the same

Blue Orchids

Up & Stuff

From the start, Son Lux has operated as something akin to a sonic test kitchen. The band strives to question deeply held assumptions about how music is made and re-construct 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 five recordings, including LPs Bones (2015) and Brighter Wounds (2018). A carefully cultivated musical language rooted in curiosity and balancing opposites 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.
