Luka Kuplowsky’s second single of 2023, “Sudden Reach From The Inner World”, is a collage of lilting harmonized guitar, choral-like vocal melodies, celestial synth and the poetic speak-singing of Kuplowsky’s mellow tenor. Written out of the remnants from an abandoned studio session, Kuplowsky isolated a two second sample of Thom Gill’s guitar, crafting an entirely new song out of the fragment and embellishing a sparkling sonic world that builds off the ambient electronic sound of his 2022 “meditation collection” Capturing The Evening Song.
Kuplowsky says, “this was a beautiful accident. The lyrical imperative of trusting the immediacy of new love seems fitting for a song whose creation was so sudden and surprising.”

After releasing the remarkable Stardust in 2020, an imaginative album of otherworldly folk, jazz and pop, Luka Kuplowsky has been thoughtfully expanding the scope of his creativity. In 2022 he released the self-produced “meditation collection” Capturing The Evening Song, an album that pairs Kuplowsky’s mellow croon with sounds that recall the ambient works of Hiroshi Yoshimura and Inoyama Land. 2022 also heralded the announcement of a brand new project Ingredient, a collaborative avant-pop duo with Ian Daniel Kehoe that traverses the sounds of house, pop and dub. In his hometown of Toronto, Kuplowsky remains an active member of jazz and songwriting communities, regularly organizing and performing with the eclectic tribute group The Holy Oak Family Singers, as well as reinterpreting Zen Buddhist and Tang Dynasty poets with the improvisatory collective The Ryōkan Band (2023 is set to release a sprawling double LP from this project produced by Sandro Perri).
