Current Projects: 2 EPs, 1 LP, a film, and a studio collaboration
Lots in the works at the moment!
I recently finished tracking my solo acoustic EP Seconds to Dawn and am in the process of mixing, mastering, and designing the album art. The EP will feature six songs recorded over the past year and half--five original and one cover. Sparse instrumentation and fleeting moods combine with a more personal, intimate lyrical style than anything I've done before. Feeling really good about this one! Look for it in early fall 2018.
King Jane is about halfway through tracking a 4 song EP. Between the three songwriters of the group, a wide range of stylistic ground is explored (all united by the slickest snare sound you ever heard--courtesy of mixing engineer Neal Shaw).
Jenna and The Janes also recently finished up a great weekend in the studio recording our first full length album. Both this and the King Jane EP will be out by the end of 2018.
About two weeks ago I finished the score for the film Parallel Parking directed by North Carolina based film maker Aby Rao. This was a rather large project, taking me seven months to complete. It was also my first feature length film, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out! I'll be posting the full soundtrack to my SoundCloud soon.
Finally, I've embarked on a collaborative endeavor with sample-based electronic trio Pool Cosby. I'll be providing guitar, orchestrations, and production direction for an upcoming release. At this point, we're not sure what final form this collaboration will take, but so far it's been super fun for me to work on something outside my comfort zone. The combination of our disparate approaches to music is making for a really eclectic sound that's way different than any of us on our own.
Cheers,
Kenny
