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.

從她的音樂表現上,金凱琪也許就是下一個吉他之神。她融合了古老傳統手藝與數位科技,應用投影技術映射圖像到她的吉他上並演譯她的開創性音樂作品《琴頸是通往琴身的橋 》。她用琴頸演奏時像是在彈鍵盤一樣,她演奏的音樂旋律像是帶領觀眾進入一趟光線和聲音的音樂之旅。她稱這種演奏方式為“吉他如畫筆”。
