Keith Kenniff

Keith Kenniff隸屬天才音樂家的行列，那美妙的音符在他舉首投足間四溢。兒時的他跟隨從事音樂工作的父親學習吉他、貝司、鼓，并在很多巡演樂團中演奏，音樂風格橫跨古典、爵士與搖滾。經(jīng)歷了數(shù)次成功與失敗后，他的音樂有稚嫩變得成熟，由雜亂變得統(tǒng)一。之后Kenniff進入了在波士頓享有聲望的Berklee College of Music，在那他發(fā)掘了自己對影像的興趣，從音樂出發(fā)，廣泛涉獵了世界各地電影配樂和獨立制片的知識及素養(yǎng)。通過這些興趣Kenniff進一步發(fā)展了對空間的感知，這些因素在他今后的音樂中擔當了重要角色。 2004年Kenniff在邁阿密電子音樂廠牌Merck以Helios的名義發(fā)行了首張專輯《Unomia》，引起了廣泛關注。2005年，他則以Goldmund的身份在英國廠牌Type名下發(fā)行了專輯《Corduroy Road》，里面則是動人的鋼琴演奏，有幾首曲子還用于電影及電視劇配樂當中。 2006年6月，Kenniff以充沛的創(chuàng)作能量推出個人第三張專輯，也就是Helios的第二張專輯《Eingya》。音符里是近年來Kenniff到歐洲各地旅行的所見所思，以及他對影像的獨特理解。
