lowercase began as a nod to the music movement by the same name, and as a way to shape media for brands and artists with a similar understated intent.
Coined by artist Steve Roden in 2001, ‘lowercase music’ first emerged through forms of paper, a composition created entirely from modulated sounds of book pages being handled. The genre shares kinship with movements like musique concrète, mid-century minimalist experiments, and the practice of deep listening.
Roden called it “a certain sense of quiet and humility…” something that does not shout, but must be discovered.
