Temp

Temp was formed in Los Angeles by singer-song writer, Daniel Au, and laptop dj/producer, Lucas Kuzma. Hailing from the dusty broadlands of Texas, Daniel was raised on Rock, Roll, Folk and Funk. After spending a few years performing as a solo singer-songwriter, Daniel went on to collaborate with the live electronic trio, Dan Dan Ten. After years of laptop solo performance along with bi-weekly sittings with experimental jazz group Connector, Lucas left San Francisco to study Media Art in Los Angeles.

The two met through UCLA's renowned Design program, and began producing what eventually became Temp. Daniel's eclectic guitar styles meshed with Lucas's warped synthesis, and a quite unique sound emerged. The addition of studio visits from expert players from UCLA's school of Ethnomusicology rounded out the electronic production with acoustic depth and tenderness. C'est La Vie EP was then released on Itunes and every other major online distributor via the good folks over at cdbaby.

Temp was dis-'banded' in 2007, though future releases/collaborations may come in the future.
