Son Lux - We Are Rising
MMMM
There is an annual creative challenge held in February called “The RPM Challenge.” Within this limited timeframe, musicians are invited to make an entire album (10 songs or 35 minutes in length), from a simple tape recording to a full-blown studio production. The rules permit using material written before February, but some are daring enough to conceptualize and complete a batch of nothing but new material for the project. Son Lux (aka Ryan Lott) was busy with his day job and working on his sophomore album when NPR asked if he’d accept the challenge. Not only was he bold enough to accept, he also scrapped all the material he had been laboring over for the sophomore album. We Are Rising is a product of both The RPM Challenge and one man’s inspiring, unflinching determination to transform an ambitious idea into an awe-inspiring reality.
