about

OKAPIS is an open ended exploration of sound. The process remains mysterious.

Okapis have exceptionally large, rotating ears with which to hear noise, and are infrasonic.

OKAPIS is where different sound worlds co-exist.

Okapis are solitary and live only in the dense forests of the Congo.

OKAPIS is David Crowell performing and producing music in Brooklyn, NY, armed with his studio of synthesizers, guitars, woodwinds, mbiras, singing bowls and just about anything else that can make a sound and be recorded. He is often joined by his very talented friends. In this case those friends would be Gideon Crevoshay, a singer of monumental talent and emotional transcendence; and Greg Chudzik, the best bass player he ever met, and that's a fact.

This EP, and the song Catskills in particular, is dedicated to lovely Andrea, vegetarian extraordinaire and animal lover of the highest order.
