"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)
A basic impulse to form lokai was to combine and expand the sound
spectrum of an electric guitar with the possibilities of electronic
instruments on a structural and tonal level....tracks should oscillate
between song formats and random-like situations. Within this scenario
the dynamic range goes from extremely dense layers to fragile and
ramified constructions of fragmented melodies and sounds. The components
are rendered to instrumental music, thoroughly containing a certain
impressionistic aspect. Lokai was founded in 2003 in Vienna.
