Well, yes! On the one hand: Totally! On the other hand: How do you want to reach that level of musicality on drums? I mean: I would even consider myself a drummer with a lot of musicality and a love for these kind of rhythms that consider a metronome more of a guideline. But then you also need to be in this technical stuff and sound design... you won't find many people on this planet who combine these talents like Ian does. I love him. His music gives me goose bumps.
Holy fuck yes. Son Lux as Ryan Lott, Son Lux as Ryan plus Ian and Rafiq--it's what taught me how to appreciate the depth of music rather than just consume it on a superficial level.
Sophisticated, passionate, no adjective can describe enough. So in love with all of Ian’s and son lux’s work. It’s an modern art, super cool design and architecture of sound...
SO satisfying to listen to. The unexpected-ness of it all is just so great. You're like a Chopin in a drummer's form; it all sounds like improvisation, yet it's composition. I cannot wait to hear more, much love and respect :).
Oh man! You beat me to it! I've had this idea for years of triggering lights in a dark studio while I play the drums. Super dope, and great execution. Very musical and expressive-I love what you're doing with the Sensory Percussion triggers (that's what brought me here). Great work man!
I really really loved you at OFF Festival 2015 (with Son Lux), I couldn't focus on any other band for the rest of the month~ I don't remember being so impressed by a drummer since I discovered The Who back in my early teens, lol. good luck~!
Really great stuff. The execution of pocket while playing electronic drums is a unique mastery of latency and dynamic control of the velocity sensors. I just made that up and I like how it sounds lol. But in all seriousness, man I was nodding to this. Dope for sure.
Excellent. i'm curious as to how the lights were programmed to be triggered by each hit.. i know it was a MIDI signal of some sort. SunHouse Percussion is the next step in percussive evolution!
Found this great solo on Kickstarter! Wow man! Love the sound and concept! If I could I'd donate for the Kickstart Gold project this month. Been playing drums all my life and I'm 60 now. This get's pretty hot at the end. How did you interface the lights and what did the projection behind you originate from? I really really liked this alot!
Late response, but I'm converting midi to dmx signal yo control all the lights. But you can do the bass drum light thing by buying a drumlite. Look it up!
This needs to be its own genre and many more artists need to contribute because I can't get enough.

Don’t get stuck on genre names, but this falls under the Experimental, Avante-Garde music or Avante-Garde Jazz.
Check out Deantoni Parks when you can. He does this kind of thing as well.
and because of this video, I have discovered and am now a fan of Son Lux
Holy fuck yes. Son Lux as Ryan Lott, Son Lux as Ryan plus Ian and Rafiq--it's what taught me how to appreciate the depth of music rather than just consume it on a superficial level.
This guy pushed music to new level.
What I've wanted to do on drums forever..trigger sounds and lights from the kit..please post a behind the scenes!/ the making of!!
Sophisticated, passionate, no adjective can describe enough. So in love with all of Ian’s and son lux’s work. It’s an modern art, super cool design and architecture of sound...
That stick drag at 1:44 though
I remember Ian's performance with Son Lux always being incredibly intense. Really looking forward to witnessing this solo project at a show some time!
Ian! Excited to support you and Landlady October 2nd at Hi-Dive in Denverrrrrrr....
The perfect example that you don't need the hole drum kit to make a good rhythm! Keep up the good work!
This song is absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait for more music.
So good🤯, first time listening to your individual projects.
that's one hell of an idea. triggered lights when hitting the drums. I wanna see him do this live
so insane. i cry. all the members of son lux are geniuses
My best drums player ♥️🤗
SO satisfying to listen to. The unexpected-ness of it all is just so great. You're like a Chopin in a drummer's form; it all sounds like improvisation, yet it's composition. I cannot wait to hear more, much love and respect :).
I've been back to this video a dozen times now. Just brilliant work, man.
Wow. Ian you are incredible! I hope I can see you and the rest of Son Lux sometime soon!!
This is the best thing ever. We need more music from you.
Amazing work 🖤
WOW...dividing beats in such a unique and expressive way...
Oh man! You beat me to it! I've had this idea for years of triggering lights in a dark studio while I play the drums. Super dope, and great execution. Very musical and expressive-I love what you're doing with the Sensory Percussion triggers (that's what brought me here). Great work man!
just wow...

This is freaking stunning, entrancing really
your performance at the polyphonic spree was AMAZING!!! I loved it so much!!!
Came here from NPR video, had to check you out! Amazing stuff.
I really really loved you at OFF Festival 2015 (with Son Lux), I couldn't focus on any other band for the rest of the month~ I don't remember being so impressed by a drummer since I discovered The Who back in my early teens, lol. good luck~!

soooo cool !!!
i just watched the Son Lux - "Easy" with Woodkid - Live at Montreux video and i find the drummer directly of course .
Really great stuff. The execution of pocket while playing electronic drums is a unique mastery of latency and dynamic control of the velocity sensors. I just made that up and I like how it sounds lol. But in all seriousness, man I was nodding to this. Dope for sure.
This is just amazing!! Waiting for more pieces!❤️
seeing this as a drummer is absolutely satisfying. so well done!
Just wow ❤️

Excellent. i'm curious as to how the lights were programmed to be triggered by each hit.. i know it was a MIDI signal of some sort.

wow
Unbelievable ** I'm f******* crazy about you!!!
Thanks Son lux to make me know you ;)
Hugs from France !
I understand you are using sensory persussion, but what drumset is this? I really like the smaller form factor ... beautiful
Dig it!
Heck this is cool
Amazing drummer! Very tasteful. Does anyone know what kind of triggers they are using? They don't look like your ordinary midi triggers...
Thanks! I'm using Sunhouse's Sensory Percussion
Sunhouse Sensory Percussion triggers. Very high end stuff haha.
Oh my its a bomb , blow up my mind
That snareeeeeeee
You're dope, dude
Крут 💛💙
what's used to make the bass trigger the light? anything that can be readily purchased? i want that effect on my kick.
Late response, but I'm converting midi to dmx signal yo control all the lights. But you can do the bass drum light thing by buying a drumlite. Look it up!
Holy shit this is amazing
If you’re the same person who made the “Brats” music video for Liars you are insanely talented lol
is there any way i could find this masterpiece in higher quality?
this song should be named - epilepsy beauty
Somebody give Deantoni Parks a sunhouse.
I agree wholeheartedly
Thanks for this comment. I was like ''What's special about this guy then?''. Went and watched his against the clock video. That's why he special.
TIMMY TIMMY
Hey man! Would you mind to have a chat with me? This is so sick! How did you do that?
