Lowell’s art isn’t confined to a single medium – it’s the natural overflow of a mind tuned to sound, story, and texture. Whether he’s composing, experimenting, or building something entirely unexpected, his work blurs the line between creation and discovery. Each piece reflects that restless curiosity that pushes him to explore what music can be, not just what it already is.

Lowell treats sound like something alive – something worth rescuing before time wears it down. His preservation work digs into fragile tapes, rare recordings, and disappearing musical histories, restoring them with care so they can be heard, studied, and appreciated for years to come. It’s the quiet work that keeps culture from slipping through the cracks.

Lowell approaches archiving like detective work — tracking down lost recordings, organizing massive collections, and bringing order to the chaos of decades-old audio. He doesn’t just store things; he gives them context, structure, and a place in the bigger story. His archive is a living map of musical history, constantly expanding as he unearths more to preserve.

Lowell studies music the way some people study landscapes — by walking the ground, listening closely, and paying attention to the people who shape it. His ethnomusicology work dives into the cultural roots of sound, documenting how communities create, adapt, and pass music down. It’s part research, part storytelling, and entirely driven by a respect for the voices behind the songs.
