The_State_Of • Electronica & Synth
The State Of is the product of Steph Taylor's edgy synth/piano playing and Nabedi Osorio's electronic-like live drumming. When coupled, they produce a sound larger than what’s expected out of two people. Playing with upbeat rhythms and melancholy tones, their music is a juxtaposition of dark and light with music you wanna move to.
