Okapi is an Asheville, NC-based duo composed of Scott Mitchell Gorski (Upright Bass, Voice) and Lindsey Paige Miller (Cello). Hailing from differing musical backgrounds but sharing a passion for unique approaches to songwriting, craftsmanship, and structure, they began formulating candid, cathartic, and intentionally intricate orchestrations rooted in honesty and rawness. With evocative works abundant with lyrical paintings, they present ideas both intimately and aggressively, which challenge perceptions that stimulate universal confrontations with our absurd reality, while also promoting consciousness, healthy growth, and individual empowerment. They’ve toured nationally, performed as part of many festivals including the experimental Big Ears Festival, and have been featured in The Wire as part of their staff-curated CD compilation, "The Wire Tapper".
