notes
Says Kenny; "The songs on this CD lean toward tumbling fingerstyle-driven tunes and spacious subtle acoustic creations. I spend a lot of time trying to get different sounds out of the guitar without using too many effects. Most of my songs document personal experiences and incorporate some kind of repetitive rhythmic acoustic backdrop. I listen to a lot of African music and borrow from the circular groove approach you often find in the thumb harp, marimba or kora instruments associated with that music. I also enjoy the movement jazz music provides and pursue rhythms that are most comfortable reclining a little. Music for me is a lot about air and sound and feeling. Mix in these elements with a night sky, a full moon, or an open field and you have something like what I do. Folk Noir. Musical Haiku. Suspended Animation."
"Songwriting for me is all about air and sound and feeling. It's about locking into a rhythm, tempo or inner pulse. It is never strictly about notes or words. It's about what lies beneath. At the quiet bottom".
