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.

Жанр сама по себе, Каки Кинг может оказаться очередным божеством гитарной музыки. Она смешивает древние традиции игры руками с цифровыми технологиями и проекцией изображений на гитаре в своём новаторском мультимедийном выступлении «Шея — мост к телу». Используя гриф гитары как клавиши, она выводит замысловатую мелодию, приглашая публику в музыкальное путешествие света и цвета. Каки называет это «гитара как кисточка».
