KOUK is an electronic music duo based in Brooklyn with a sound that ranges from the more experimental side, where they play with the evolution of electronic and electroacoustic textures and spaces, to hard hitting dance floor music, whether it's them playing live sets or DJing. Consisting of Behrooz, a statistician and programmer by trade, and Soroosh, A professional chef, the duo's approach to sound and music is methodical, they combine familiar grooves and rhythms with mathematically evolving sound waves that change in different time scales. The intention is to create as broad of a mental space as possible through sound, and complement that with other senses, resulting in live performances that are accompanied by visuals.

Currently, our day to day interactions with each other have been reduced to nearly none, and playing live music seems like a distant dream, which opens up the possibility of experimenting with a new form of listening music and interacting through it. Our current question is how is this new medium different and what norms and expectations does it bring with it. The piece we are KOUKing for the Emruz Festival's Virtual Series is an exploration of this and we hope you enjoy it.
