Ryan Lott (aka Son Lux), is a USA composer / musician / remixer.

After studying composition at Jacobs School of Music (Indiana University), Ryan moved to Cleveland, OH, for six years, earning a reputation as a versatile & zealous collaborator. Equally at ease in the creative company of choreographers, classical musicians & break dancers - he cut his teeth spear-heading multi-disciplinary 'performance parties', composing music for modern dance companies & collaborating with musicians, across many genre. His works have been performed throughout the US & Europe, including the Works & Process series (Guggenheim Museum, NYC) & the World Saxophone Congress (Slovenia).

In the cracks of time & energy, between collaborations, Son Lux was born - from Ryan's long-felt urge to set about making an album of his own. It began as an experiment & a personal creative challenge. He wove sounds & ideas together for four years (in his attic studio), producing the début that many critics call "one of the best records of 2008", "At War With Walls and Mazes", earning him the title of 'Best New Artist' & '#1 Greatest Unknown Artist of 2008' (by NPR).

Meanwhile, Ryan moved to NYC in 2007, whilst in the process of finishing the Son Lux record & has since become a sought-after remixer, reimaging the music of many, inc: Beirut, Headlights, Sole, Anathallo, Takka Takka, Jamie Lidell, Mute Math & Nico Muhly. Culminating in an EP of My Brightest Diamond's "A Thousand Shark's Teeth" remixes, "Shark Remixes, Volume 2: Remixes by Son Lux" (20 Jan '09, Asthmatic Kitty) & re-released within "Shark Remixes" (26 Jan '10, Asthmatic Kitty).

Ryan's works in progress include two large-scale commissions (from Stephen Petronio & Gina Gibney, choreographers) & a second Son Lux album.
