Marble Rye

Marble Rye is Drew Litowitz, who also releases music under the name A Place to Go and runs Good Grief and co-runs Mess is Lore, NY-based curatorial platforms and event series focused on communal emotional release through immersive experimental sound. His eclectic, cinematic mixes move through moods of healing, pain, joy, love, and loss, curiously surveying the gaping spectrum of ambient and experimental music—from spiritual new age and outsider synth odysseys, to evocative spoken word and field recordings, to dark dub-inflected psychedelic electronic works and polyrhythmic sound design from all over the world. Not exactly ambient, not exactly club, not exactly spiritual, not exactly quiet, not exactly loud. His mixes play out like a guided tour through glacial tectonic shifts and extreme frenetic impulses, rooting you firmly on the ground, while relentlessly keeping you on your toes.
