INTERVAL 5.1: Ryan Lott (aka Son Lux) on Ryan Lott

Son Lux - WEAPONS II from anticon. on Vimeo.Wednesday night I’m performing in a show I co-curated with composer/multi-instrumentalist Toby Driver. The night features the work of two artists, Terran Olsen and Joshue Ott, and is sponsored by MATA as part of their Interval Series.Joshue designed this video (full-screen that) for Weapons II (from the Weapons EP) using a visual instrument he designed called superDraw. During Wednesday night’s show he and I will perform custom arrangements of Son Lux material, syncing superDraw with my audio performance environment over a closed network. superFun.Joshue also built the iPad app/audio-visual instrument Thicket with co-creator Morgan Packard, and he’ll perform “with” it Wednesday, as well. Thicket will simultaneously generate sound and picture using a combination of custom algorithms, its own inscrutable whim, and Joshue’s guiding hands.I’m also excited about a premiere of Terran Olsen’s “Cid’s Craft,” for clarinet and piano, that “explores various ways in which meter, and rhythmic relationships between instruments, can be bent.”C’mon erbody.
