Num género muito próprio, Kaki King pode bem ser a próxima estrela da guitarra. Ela mistura a tradição de usar as mãos com a tecnologia digital e imagens de mapeamento de vídeo na sua guitarra, num trabalho de multimédia inovador "The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body". Usando o braço da guitarra como um teclado, ela toca uma melodia complexa, ao mesmo tempo que conduz a audiência por uma viagem musical de luz e som. Chama-lhe "a guitarra como um pincel".

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

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.
