Lomea is the project of London-based fine artist, composer and guitarist Rich Keyworth, drawing upon a myriad of diverse influences from early 70s prog to techno — weaving the electronic with the acoustic, the intense with the serene, revealing an instinctive natural warmth and empathy.
His latest EP, Drift, is available now on KPM — one of the UK's longest-running and most prestigious production music libraries (now part of Sony Music Publishing), whose catalogue is widely licensed for film, TV, and advertising. Previous releases include the debut album Narratives (2016) (EARMILK: "both left field and emotionally powerful"), follow-up Echoes in Bloom (2019), and the EP released as Permanence on streaming platforms and Sunwake on Bandcamp, plus Reworks, Otherness, and Otherness Reworks — all on Here & Now Recordings.
His music is championed by Ferry Corsten, Rob da Bank (Worldwide FM), Nick Luscombe (Late Junction, BBC Radio 3), Nemone (BBC 6 Music's Electric Ladyland), and Jess Iszatt (BBC London).
