..
21st Century Genius (!).. Music Producer.. Composer.. Recording Artist.. Geek.. whatever he is, it's certainly hard to put KK into one box.
With classic record-making skills learned first-hand from top studio wizards
such as Brian
Eno (U2/Bowie), Rick Nowels (Madonna/Dido), Nellee Hooper (Gwen
Stefani/Bjork), Steven Street (Blur/Kaiser Chiefs),
Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and Cathy Dennis
(Kylie/Britney) - KK found himself with a unique set of tricks and
experience to draw upon, and is now recognized as a world-class musician, writer and record producer
in his own right, including extensive collaborations as a songwriter and/or producer with
a wide variety of artists from Bjork to Mediaeval Baebes.
His unique work as an instrumental composer and arranger has included music
for both major film (such as with James Newton Howard on the Tom
Cruise blockbuster Collateral and television (including the recent worldwide
British Airways Clouds and Google Earth advertising campaigns).
So where did he come from? The advent of computer-based studio technology saw KK expand his sonic tapestry into more abstract electronic & studio based
sonic art, and KK became first involved in producing records, understudying and eventually
working together with ambient pioneer/hit producer Brian Eno.
Retaining his instinct for strong melody, harmony and arrangement and the ethos of his
more traditional roots, his work is seasoned with this contemporary edge
brought by his exceptional and envelope-pushing programming skills nurtured at this
time. Eno once described KK's programming work as 'a unique example of
organic musical use of a computer', as well as branding KK in
general as an 'alchemist'
Next, KK worked intensively with the truly one-of-a-kind Icelandic artist Bjork, who
also became highly influential to him, and over the past few years KK was also involved in
a number of records - including work with the likes of Britney
Spears, Kylie, James, Shaznay Lewis, Yusuf Islam, KT Tunstall and Dido.
He certainly is an experienced and highly valued musical collaborator for a wide variety
of artists and is constantly in demand the world over by labels, singers and acts of the
highest calibre.
A fluent multi instrumentalist, programmer and truly visionary character, KK draws
on his traditional musical upbringing (arranging and writing for orchestra, choir, bands
etc), forging his many technical studio, programming/computer based production skills with
these more traditional crafts, combining to create a unique, often unexpected zest
for sonic originality and magic in his organic, musical, yet contemporary forward-looking
work.
Evermore versatile and keen to broaden his horizons, KK then made a
childrens album : Lullaby with Zero 7s Sophie
Barker (on SonyBMG) last year, and - in total contrast - a shocking horror/halloween boxset : Raw
Fear. .
KK's brand new album "Telescopes" is out now on CD and digital download via iTunes, Amazon, Napster etc,
