Description
Lynyns debut LP is essential listening for anyone interested in the compositional heights of electronic, synth, and modular music. It is a project at home with the likes of giants in the genre like Aphex Twin or Squarepusher. So, who is Lynyn? Lynyn is the moniker of Chicago artist Conor Mackey, a working symphonic composer who has scored for institutions including the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra and (the neuroscience driven musical platform where he is currently lead composer on staff). He is also a guitarist / composer in the Chicago jazz fusion quintet Monobody. After years of quietly mastering the creation of electronic music in his home, Mackey first introduced his electronic alias Lynyn as producer of NNAMDÏs Are You Happy EP in the Fall of 2021 (Pitchfork described his production on that project as a novel intersection of IDM and contemporary pop). Lynyn now offers up his debut electronic oevure Lexicon via Chicago label Sooper Records. Lexicon displays a mastery of both musical composition and sound design, as well as a deep appreciation of the vocabulary and history of the electronic genre with particular emphasis on the 90s IDM movement. Throughout Lexicon we are propelled through the sounds of musique concrete, footwork, hip-hop, ambience, glitch-core, IDM, drum and bass, dub, break beats, and so much more.
