A multi-instrumentalist who defies categorization. Possibly one of the best folk guitarists in the West. That alone would be enough, but he is also a creative electronic artist who wields modular and hardware synths to paint sound textures punctuated with elemental tones.

Acacia Komodo and Carmela
@ephemeral_bean_forest
This duo originates from Turtle Island and have been creative beings for most of their lives.
They create ambient dance music — in an attempt to communicate with the reptilian conscious. Our musical approach is inspired by amphibious creatures, reptiles, deep sea lifeforms, intermolecular forces and entropy. Acacia & Carmela’s love of organic life and beauty inspires their passion of exploration within music. “We hope to summon tigers, newts and volcano snails amongst other insects and animals who inspire us.”
