Lori Scacco is a composer and producer based in New York City. Her first solo album, Circles, released on Eastern Developments in 2004, was written for solo piano and marked a pointed departure from her prior role as co-founder and guitarist of Seely, the first American band on renowned British imprint Too Pure. She went on to release two albums built around the synthesizer: Desire Loop (Mysteries of the Deep, 2018) and The Order of Things (Longform Editions, 2021). Her largely instrumental work is informed by minimalism yet rooted in more narrative traditions — attaining intimacy through electronics and expansiveness through acoustic instrumentation.

Scacco’s scores and site-specific installations span the worlds of art, film, classical dance, and performance, with a diverse group of collaborators, including choreographer Gemma Bond, filmmaker Matt Wolf, and media/installation artists Jennifer & Kevin McCoy. Select commissions have been presented by Ambient Church (NY), Ballroom Marfa (TX), the Joyce Theater (NY), Kaatsbaan Cultural Park (NY), the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (CA), and MoMA PS1 (NY), as well as film festivals worldwide. Scacco has been an ensemble member of Savath + Savalas and Helado Negro, and is one half of psych-folk duo Storms with Eva Puyuelo (Savath + Savalas). She has remixed patten, Holopaw, Certain Creatures, Same Waves, and Leverage Models. Scacco’s recordings appear on a number of experimental labels in the US, UK, Australia, and Japan.
