ROBERT LEHMANN + TOBY RAMASWAMY
5.30

Raised in culturally mixed households in the U.S., Robert Lehmann and Toby Ramaswamy prefer to exist in the in between - somewhere at the intersection of the Philippines, India, Germany, and the Midwest. Fittingly, the Minneapolis keys and drums duo play improvised music that’s hazy in its boundaries - not quite jazz, not quite neoclassical, not quite minimalist, not quite drum and bass. On keyboard, Lehmann pulls in melancholy from Romantic and Impressionist era studies, the heavy bass lines of electronic music, and subtle influences from years of playing in afrobeats and Arabic music ensembles. Ramaswamy glides between tight, propulsive strings of beats and loose, open textures evoking nature.
