The Project

What Lost in LA is

One person makes this music, in Los Angeles, at the pace one person can. It is synthwave, and that is most of what there is to tell you before you press play.

The city in the music

The name points at the city the music is made in, and the city on this site is the real one. Roads here have the names they have on the map. Where a page gives an hour, it is an hour somebody publishes, and an hour that could not be confirmed is left off the page rather than filled in with something that sounds right.

No street on this site is invented.

Play it in the car at night. The pages in Los Angeles after dark take the roads and the hours a page at a time.

No name on it

No name is attached to it here and there is no press photo, and that is a decision rather than a stage on the way to something else. What you get instead is the city, the hours it keeps and the light it makes on its own once the sun is gone. All of that is checkable. Drive Mulholland at midnight and find out whether this site has been honest with you.

For a credit line, the name is Lost in LA, and there is no second one to add under it.

Where to start

Nothing has been released yet. When the first record is finished it will appear on the releases page, and the mailing list will say so the same day.

The page for the first one is already up at First Single, waiting on the record. Every place to hear it will be gathered on one page, which is the link worth handing out.

The mailing list is one email when something ships. You confirm it by clicking the link we send you, and every email after that carries an unsubscribe link.

Booking and press

Booking and licensing go to one address. It is on the contact page, with a note on what to put in the message.

Journalists want the press kit, where both bios sit as drafts that are not approved for quotation. There are no artwork files on it.

Every photograph on this site is somebody else's work, used under its license and credited by name on the photo credits page.
