Lights Out Asia is an American post-rock, ambient, electronic, downtempo musical project that was formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States early 2003 when Chris Schafer and Mike Ystad (both members of Aurore Rien) decided to work on music together. Recording in bedrooms and basements, the duo had written and constructed a dozen songs on Mike's laptop by summertime. Thus was born 'Garmonia', Lights Out Asia's first documented recording as a band.
