“There’s this proverb in Korean martial arts [that] says chase one rabbit at a time,” says Andrew Povine, one half of the “livetronic” music duo Random Rabbit. “If you chase a bunch of rabbits, you end up running in circles.”

Comprising the Atlanta-based duo of Povine and Charlie P., as well as studio musician Adam Herbert, Random Rabbit began collaborating in May 2005.

“He [Charlie P.] makes dubstep, and … I control the mid-range and up when we’re live,” Povine said. “I really like atmospheric stuff. I like ambience, stuff that doesn’t have a beat. Charlie’s main thing is beats and bass lines.”

Both members come together to form a spontaneous, ever-changing sound. They create their music on the spur of the moment at a live show.

“Most of the songs that we put out, we can’t reproduce,” Povine said. “We put thousands of hours into practicing, but the albums are just samples of what we can do. It’s the general idea of where we are going.”

Povine said the duo never really knows what is going to happen in a live performance.

“We actually haven’t practiced very much for upcoming shows, but we don’t need to; it isn’t part of the act,” he said. “When we’re in the middle of a jam, it’s like playing Jenga – it’s all just a game. It’s definitely outside the box. Sometimes we’re running around in circles and we have to find a way out again. I don’t know what’s coming and neither does he.”

Since the music isn’t cut cleanly into tracks, it is unpredictable and unconventional, which could come across as exciting or exhausting to audience members.

“We kind of go all over the place – it’s definitely not anything many other people are doing,” Povine said. “I have devout ‘rabbitheads’ and people who come to the shows, and they say that they just don’t know what to do with it.”
