ABOUT TENDRILS
When conceptualizing a video for Castanets' recent record In
The
Vines, it did not take long for Castanets frontman Ray Raposa
and
label project manager Michael Kaufmann to abandon the notion
of
designing a YouTube friendly vignette. If Raposa's above statement
is
true, why then create a video that seemed to suggest otherwise,
one
that would become the visually determinate version? Instead,
Raposa
and Kaufmann decided to create a document that subverted the
authority
of the original by soliciting new takes and approaches. They
also
wanted to create a document that would serve as a snapshot of
a
particular moment in time surrounding Raposa and Castanets. They
turned to Brooklyn-based photographer and occasional Castanets
member
Mia Ferm.
Son Lux is Ryan Lott, a 29-year old composer/performer living in
New
York. Ryan grew up torn between classical music lessons and funk
band
rehearsals, and eventually studied music at Indiana University.
Ryan
cut his teeth in Cleveland, where he enlisted dozens of local
artist-collaborators off all types in multimedia events he conceived.
He also began writing music profusely for dance companies countrywide,
which he continues to do. In 2007, Ryan signed to Anticon as Son
Lux,
and just released his debut, At War With Walls and Mazes, under
that
moniker. In addition to his day job as a post house composer in
Manhattan, he's now juggling a steady stream of guest producing
roles
and left-field remixes for Castanets, My Brightest Diamond, Beirut,
Headlights, and others.
