Lusine

Lusine is the brainchild of Jeff McIlwain for his visceral, melodic vision of abstract electronic music. Having attended Cal Arts to study 20th century electronic music and sound design for music and film, he has since recorded for labels such as !K7/MAS, Hymen, Delikatessen and Isophlux. Since making the move to Ghostly in 2003, Lusine has released "Push" , "Flat" Remixes, and the "Inside/Out" EP, as well as the stunning and widely-lauded "Serial Hodgepodge" full-length from 2004. He is one of the foremost American producers in the abstract field and an artist with a boundless future in his craft.

In 2006 Jeff McIlwain did remixes for Alex Smoke (Soma), Alex Under (Apnea), and put out an EP titled "Emerald" (Ghostly), in honor of Seattle. He also co-wrote the score for the film "Snow Angels" with David Wingo, which was written and directed by David Gordon Green and will come out in 2007. Lusine has most recently been working on an ambient album titled "Language Barrier" for Hymen Records, a remix of "Workhorse" for My Brightest Diamond, and he just finished a remix CD album + 12" titled "Podgelism" coming out on Ghostly in late March, featuring reworks by John Tejada, Apparat and Robag Wrhume amongst others.

Previous appearance highlights include opening for Ricardo Villalobos at Fabric, performing at CMJ, SXSW, Decibel Festival, Popkomm Festival, the Finlandia Vodka tour with Matthew Dear and James Cotton, and playing at LA's Getty Center amongst all major cities.
