About this product
Ixona is the second LP from Chicago composer Conor Mackey under his Lynyn alias. Crafted primarily using hardware, Lynyn's masterful instrumental electronic compositions draw on a wide range of influences including drum and bass, dub-techno, and acid, immersing the listener in an environment that's both vastly spacious and startlingly intimate. As intricate breakbeats skitter through granular textures and pointillist swarms, this place that is no place assembles itself and glows. A classically trained musician and composer, Mackey has worked alongside a wide variety of collaborators from symphony orchestras to pop singers. He plays guitar in the avant-jazz band Monobody, and has produced records with his Sooper Records labelmates NNAMDÏ and Warm Human. By day, he writes functional music informed by neuroscience principles for a specialty streaming . With his Lynyn project, Mackey drills down into the glittering particulars of finely hewn machine music how clusters of artificial shards can lock together into living movement.Mackey's work is informed by the dense, propulsive intricacies of IDM artists like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, whose influence rings brightly over Lynyn's 2022 debut, lexicon (Sooper Records). In the years following lexicon's , Mackey found himself diving into turn-of-the-millennium minimal dub techno from artists like Pole, Basic Channel, and Deepchord. The album Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records by Jan Jelinek proved especially influential on Lynyn's next moves. InchIt's very much a sink-into-the-couch kind of record. It's extremely spacious, but it feels very close - very haunting, but comforting at the same time,Inch he says.

Lynyn's 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 Brain. Fm (the neuroscience driven musical 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 NNAMDÏ's Are You Happy EP in the Fall of 2021 (Pitchfork described his production on that project as Incha novel intersection of IDMInch and contemporary pop). lynyn now offers up his debut electronic oevure lexicon via Chicago tag 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.

The dense arrangements of lexicon are intentionally constructed with a painstaking attention to the most minute detail, and also with a masterful awareness of the macroscopic sound design profile of the entire work. Synth sequences and modular tones merge with sounds that seem wholly organic to create a series of purposeful movements from start to finish. Mackey i
