Instrumental music takes all shapes and forms, and two Floridian heavyweights of the genre come together in the Far Forest living room next month. A year after releasing its future-looking debut full-length, Lyght Years, Twyn comes to Tampa in support of a new EP, Live and Improvised.

The duo—Jason Matthews and Aaron Glueckauf, alum of groups like Electric Kif and Lemon City Trio—skip sample packs and instead build their palette of sounds from scratch. While they’re both trained jazz musicians, Twyn’s music leans more into dance music, with the duo sprinkling influences (pop, hip-hop, R&B) into songs driven by Glueckauf’s drums and the corner of Korgs and modulators that surrounds Matthews.

Expect Twyn to turn their record into something different at the Far Forest where Tampa harp-and-drum duo Katara, fresh of its debut LP and a anthemic new single “Earrings,” plays support.

Tickets to see Twyn play Far Forest in Tampa on Thursday, Oct. 3 are on sale now for $20.
