ARKAI

ARKAI is a dynamic NYC-based duo blending classical precision with modern electronic flair. Violinist Jonah Udall and cellist Nick Barr create cinematic soundscapes that bridge acoustic intimacy with pulsing beats, earning them recognition as "musical alchemists" from NPR. Their tracks like "Electric Rain" and "Ascent" showcase their signature fusion of looped strings and synthetic textures, while collaborations like the Impact 5X Initiative's "Atlas" reveal their commitment to environmental storytelling through music. Though rooted in concert halls (they've performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center), ARKAI thrives in unexpected spaces - you might catch them live-scoring silent films, improvising in art galleries, or reimagining video game soundtracks with their genre-defying approach.
