Loop 2.4.3 creates original music steeped in percussion and electronics, described as a "refreshing combination of rigor, complexity, and force" mixed with "emotionally rich expression" (George Grella, The Big City). Founded by Thomas Kozumplik (also of indie-classical quartet Clogs) in Brooklyn, NY, in 2004, Loop 2.4.3’s latest release (American Dreamland, 2012) was described by Gramophone as “visceral and satisfying,” with “brand-new yet iconic sounds that create a riveting aura, a genuine time warp.” Live, Loop 2.4.3 has been described as giving “energetic performances” (New York Times), with “stunning improvisational sense” (Time Out Chicago).

ANCIENT / TRIBAL / FUTURIST - Loop 2.4.3's Time-Machine_music is a cathartic journey that is both intensely personal, and socially connected, as is man’s perspective of time. At home in listening rooms and concert halls, the kinetic music also resonates in club settings, moving audiences to dance. The instrumentation combines man's oldest instruments (percussion and voice) with electronic sounds and time-based effects.

Lucio Menegon is a guitarist, composer and sonic artist. His work spans several genres and often encompasses collaborative improvisation, melodic and electronic composition, noise, weird pop, film soundtracks and experimental rock. While he holds degree in economics, he is a largely self-taught composer and musician, having mastered the electric guitar and bass as well as gained proficiency on various acoustic stringed instruments, lapsteel and drums.

Careful and chaotic manipulation of tone and timbre plays a dominant role in shaping an ever-evolving sonic tapestry.

He has performed all over the globe and appears on over 50 releases including work with Emily Hay, Ross Hammond, Danny Frankel, Seth Olinsky, Rob Cambre, Richard Lainhart, Amy DeNio, Moe! Staiano, Edith Frost, the Renderers, Prehistoric Horse, The Bodice Rippers, Ramona the Pest, Zebu, Joe Rut, Val Esway, Gunnar Madsen, Laurie Amat, Jonathan Segel, John Shiurba, Nick Millevoi, Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham.

He has years of experience in audio engineering and production, maintains a passion for high-end audio, has a sharp eye for photography and loves a good story. He is based in New York City and spends a fair amount of time on the road.
