En genre for sig selv, Kaki King er måske den næste guitargud. Hun fyrer op under gamle traditioner af at arbejde med egne hænder kombineret med digital teknologi, projekterer billeder på hendes guitar i et banebrydende multimedia arbejde "The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body." Hun bruger guitarhalsen som et keyboard, og spiller en forunderlig melodi mens hun tager publikummet ud på en musikalsk rejse med lys og lyde. Hun kalder det "guitaren som en pensel."

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kaki King - GuitaristKaki 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.
