Two Poets

He earned his undergraduate degree at Princeton University with a concentration in English and certificates in Creative Writing and Humanistic Studies.

His interests include poetry, experimental fiction, and continental philosophy.
OKAPI DUO
Lindsey Miller and Scott Gorski
Okapi is an acoustic duo that utilizes bass, cello, and voice through unconventional juxtapositions to create an alternative sense of unity within their intimate orchestrations. Carrying satirical yet honest messages driven by existentialism and realism, they work to form a unique mosaic which can stimulate the cryptic emotions often overlooked in everyday life. Here, we've paired our live recorded music with some of our favorite animation shorts to enhance the experience.
