ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kaki King - Guitarist
Kaki King combines jaw-dropping guitar work with dreamy, searching songwriting.

Why you should listen

Kaki King's percussive technique (guitar geeks compare it to Preston Reed's; everyone else compares it to Eddie Van Halen's) drives her songs forward, while layers of overdubs and her own soft vocals create a shimmering cloud of sound.

King's work on the soundtrack for 2007's Into the Wild was nominated for a Golden Globe, along with contributors Michael Brook and Eddie Vedder. Her groundbreaking multimedia work The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body uses projection mapping to present the guitar as an ontological tabula rasa in a creation myth unlike any other.

Kendine has tarzıyla, Kaki King belki de yeni gitar tanrıçası. Eski bir gelenek olan ellerini kullanmayı dijital teknolojiyle birleştiriyor; "Boyun Gövdeye Köprüdür" adlı çığır açan multimedya çalışmasıyla görüntüleri gitarına yansıtarak eşleme yapıyor. Gitar sapını klavye gibi kullanarak çaldığı karmaşık melodiyle seyirciyi ışık ve sesten oluşan müzikli bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor. Buna "boya fırçası olarak gitar" adını veriyor.
