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.

Žanr sama za sebe, Kaki King je vjerojatno sljedeći bog gitare. Spaja antičku tradiciju svojeručnog rada sa digitalnom tehnologijom, projektiranjem mapiranih slika na svoju gitaru u svom revolucionarnom djelu "The Neck is a Bridge to the Body." Koristeći vrat svoje gitare kao klavijaturu, svira zapetljane melodije dok vodi publiku na glazbeno putovanje svjetla i zvuka. Zove to "gitara kao kist"
