Brown Calculus

Live at the Lot on Thursday, June 24: Brown Calculus, Presented by Portland Radio Project. Brown Calculus, summoners of aural ancestors, is a post-jazz duo who aren’t afraid to push the boundaries of experimentation. Their sound borders the expansiveness of the cosmos and encourages the listener to go within. Keyboardist and beat maker, Andre Burgos, and singer/songwriter, Vaughn Kimmons, are Geminis, illuminating the sacredness of Black music, seeking to bring about community on Earth and beyond. They reveal the connection between complicated time signatures and Black divinity, with a cosmic sound that remains grounded. Sharing the same body in their past lives, they perform with melanated synergy.
