ABOUT ME
My name is Christopher Lombardo, a composer, producer and sound designer, born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
When I was very young, my mother forced me into piano lessons against my will. (They were still playing rock on the radio way back when and I wanted to shred.) Eventually, creating music of my own piqued my interest in middle school after falling head over heals with heavy metal, industrial music, and other more underground sounds. After doing some novice research on the basics of home recording, I acquired a cheap USB audio interface and a copy of FL Studio and life was forever changed. Over 17 years later, there hasn’t been a day without music making in my life. Over this time I’ve released my own projects, the bizarre, experimental electronic Silent Strangers and harsh industrial fueled metal band Absolver.
Running my own home studio allows me the privilege of recording voice overs, singer-songwriters, rappers, and assisting with post production for advertising and media. In addition to production and composition I am also a very experienced live performer. My main instruments are synthesizers, keyboards and samplers, all run through the brain of Ableton live and custom scripted software to for rock solid expressiveness.
I am always open to collaboration and new projects, if you like my work, please feel free to get in touch.

I have some example of my work in action on the “In Media” page. Music for Film, Sound Mixing, Sound Design, and Engineering.
I’ve been known to construct a patch or two…
In much of my work, I employ generative, algorithmic, and stochastic techniques to create rhythm, melody and structure – the ultimate qualifier of a supreme music nerd. You can see a few of my favorite works in the Max/MSP page.
New Album: Cephalgian
Release Date TBA
Brand new full length record continuing my work from Silent Strangers, albeit released under my own name. The record chronicles my lifelong bout with headaches, insomnia, and tinnitus. It is by far the most mature, forward seeking, accessible record of IDM/Abstract music I’ve put out. Currently in search of labels and collaborators in its release. More info to come.
IDM – Glitch – Ambient – Abstract
Silent Strangers has been my project title for solo material released since 2008. Highly erratic, DSP-heavy, robotic and psychedelic, the music is not for the faint of heart.
