TWAIIN

LIVE IMPROVISED GROOVE MUSIC

 

Creating improvised musical experiences

Twaiin is a Los Angeles based duo creating fully improvised groove and soul music. Each show proves to be a completely unique experience, with even the band members having no idea where the music will take them on any given night. Trusting each other to create a free-flowing form of live improvised music, Twaiin is focused on making their musical exploration inspire and bring people together. Their goal is that each show reflect what live music should be all about: spontaneity, flow, groove, and a straight up party.

Twaiin is comprised of two seasoned musicians: Jacob Garcia, and Steve Brickman.

Their music strives to serve all those participating, including the audience. No one in the band has any idea what is going to happen a nanosecond ahead of time; they rely on their instincts and musical history together to create a sound that rarely strays from its intended direction. The collective whole is truly the dominant force in this band.

The music itself is a plethora of grooves, beats and highly percussive breaks, which cause the listener to become engulfed within the sonic vortex of sounds encompassing them. From RnB to Rock, from Jazz to Hip-Hop, the band plays on pure emotion so each night is different and varied, and no song is ever the same.

Twaiin is about being as aware as humanly possible in the moment. The band plays, the crowd reacts, the band reacts and so on and so on. A cyclical paradigm is created in which everyone plays a part. A whole new form of tension-release music has been created in which the music never has to resolve itself in order to sustain the mood. It merely adapts, evolves.
