WHERE CHAMBER, TRANCE AND FOLK MUSIC CONVERGE…

Chris Lippincott is a Nashville-based composer and multi-instrumentalist. His live show pulls together acoustic instruments, live electronics, and the resonance of the room itself into a single sustained experience — weaving electronic, trance, chamber, and folk elements whether performing solo or with a string ensemble. The result is fully immersive: a set designed to be felt as much as heard.

His new album Angel in a Jetstream (2026) was born from two colliding images — a Dalí bronze of an angel caught mid-ascent, and Hunter S. Thompson's prose described as flowing like "an eagle in a jetstream." Together they crystallized something Lippincott had long been circling: the paradox of surrender, the exhaustion of striving, and the grace that arrives when you finally stop. Eight instrumental movements built from string quartet, piano, and electronics — recorded in part at a deconsecrated New Orleans church — alongside two folk-tinged songs that carry the narrative weight. The music draws comparisons to Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, and Jonny Greenwood.
