KINETIC METHOD is the musical sound of Sydney-based musicians Luke Koteras and Byron Mark. Luke, well-known for his virtuosic acoustic guitar playing, also brings a solid vocal talent, together with an array of dazzling effects, to the Kinetic Method . Byron adds musical flavours with his keyboard work, and establishes a solid groove with his unique percussion setup. With the multi-tasking abilities of both members, Kinetic Method creates a large sound for just two people.

They perform in an electro-acoustic style that encapsulates elements of funk, dance, R&B and jazz. However, it isn’t only this diverse mix and pastiche of styles and musical talent that attracts attention. Having performed together since high-school, Luke and Byron share a strong musical intuition on stage, allowing large scope for improvisation.

They have performed internationally, including the UK, Africa, China, and Thailand during 2006 and 2007. In 2008, Kinetic Method performed a residency in the Australian snowy mountains, as well as touring the north-east coast in recent years.

Kinetic Method completed their self-titled debut dance album mid 2009 and has recently completed their acoustic album titled ‘Find a Friend’.
