FKBass Meets Molecular Systematic Music

The meeting between James Brandon Lewis and Floy Krouchi unfolds in an unknown territory at the frontiers of electroacoustic music, jazz/free jazz, and contemporary music. Both passionate improvisers, they have collaboratively explored a singular sonic identity, drawing on principles from Molecular Systematic Music—a system developed by Lewis based on molecular biology—and Space/Time/Vibrations from the FKBass, a hybrid bass instrument augmented with sensors designed by Krouchi.

Together, Lewis and Krouchi have recorded a musical work composed as a collage of several movements that is currently in production and will be mixed by Mark Bingham. The release is scheduled for the spring 2026, followed by a European tour. Harvestworks hosted the duo in their studios for a ten-day residency as part of their annual artist-in-residence program.
