Florian Kmet (electric and acoustic guitars)
Stefan Németh (synthesizers, sampler)
"In lokai's music tunes and tones merge and diverge. Guitar and software combine in compositions that stray to and fro across the borders between analogue and digital, structure and instability, music and sound. Parts of songs - loops, melodies, chords - float like moody jellyfish in electronic space. musical threads fly apart and reconvene in unresolved clusters. There's always another twist of the kaleidoscope to come. With ears sharpened in Vienna, Stefan Németh and Florian Kmet carry their musical baggage lightly, edging their work into thickly textured explorations of states of uncertainty. The old advice still holds good: play loud." [Will Montgomery]
