itsnotyouitsme
"[T]he overall effect is lush and evocative and somehow humane … as if all the sensory distractions were removed from your perception one by one until only the sound of your own mind remained.” – The Very Short List on itsnotyouitsme
itsnotyouitsme is comprised of two prolific, highly regarded New York musicians – violinist/composer Caleb Burhans and guitarist/songwriter Grey Mcmurray – each of whom has an extensive musical output in a variety of ensembles and musical idioms. They formed itsnotyouitsme in 2003, fusing and distilling their eclectic mutual inspirations, including J.S. Bach, Brian Eno, and Pink Floyd. Since its inception, the duo has carved out a unique ambient niche at the intersection of chamber music, jazz, and post-rock musical scenes with their breathtaking, instrumental soundscapes.
Burhans and Mcmurray each perform in a wide diversity of styles. Burhans, a 2009 Leonore Annenberg Fellow in the Visual and Performing Arts, is a founding member of Alarm Will Sound, and serves as violinist/violist and occasional countertenor with ACME, Signal, Newspeak, and the Wordless Orchestra, among others. Equally busy as a composer, Burhans' oh ye of little faith... (do you know where your children are?), for Alarm Will Sound, was commissioned by Lincoln Center for the reopening of Alice Tully Hall. Grey has performed and recorded with So Percussion, Chromeo, Gil-Scott Heron, Beyondo, Arooj Aftab and Tyondai Braxton, among many others. He is also the co-leader of the New York City-based triumphant soul band, Knights On Earth.

Son Lux
Meet a man driven wildly by music. A man classically trained, but rewired with his own two hands. A frequent collaborator, occasional curator and consummate “man behind the curtain” now emerging at the front of something yet unnamed. Somewhere between the concert hall and the club you’ll find his haunting liquid soundscapes, born of hip-hop composition, o’er-strung with chant, hinting at some divine unreachable. Meet Son Lux.
Ryan Lott studied composition and piano at Indiana University School of Music before moving to Cleveland, OH, where he lived for six years and earned a reputation as a versatile and zealous collaborator.
Equally at ease in the creative company of choreographers, classical musicians, and break dancers, he cut his teeth spear-heading multi-disciplinary "performance parties," composing music for modern dance companies, and collaborating with musicians across many genres. His works have been performed dozens of times in NYC and throughout the US and Europe.
In the cracks of time and energy between Ryan's collaborations, his creative alter-ego "Son Lux" was born out of an urge to finally set about making an album of his own. What Ryan, as Son Lux, wove together over 4 years in his attic studio, is critically acclaimed as one of the best records of 2008. It is At War With Walls and Mazes, an impressive debut which earned Son Lux the title of Best New Artist by NPR's All Songs Considered.
Ryan moved to New York City in 2007 while still finishing up the Son Lux record, and has since become a sought-after arranger and remixer, reimaging the music of Beirut, Nico Muhly, My Brightest Diamond, Anathallo, and many others. Film credits include arranging and programming for the score for The Brothers Bloom (2008). Present projects include a series of new releases under the Son Lux moniker include the Weapons EP.
