Keith Kenniff

Keith Kenniff隸屬天才音樂(lè)家的行列，那美妙的音符在他舉首投足間四溢。兒時(shí)的他跟隨從事音樂(lè)工作的父親學(xué)習(xí)吉他、貝司、鼓，并在很多巡演樂(lè)團(tuán)中演奏，音樂(lè)風(fēng)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(lè)有稚嫩變得成熟，由雜亂變得統(tǒng)一。之后Kenniff進(jìn)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(duì)影像的興趣，從音樂(lè)出發(fā)，廣泛涉獵了世界各地電影配樂(lè)和獨(dú)立制片的知識(shí)及素養(yǎng)。通過(guò)這些興趣Kenniff進(jìn)一步發(fā)展了對(duì)空間的感知，這些因素在他今后的音樂(lè)中擔(dān)當(dāng)了重要角色。 2004年Kenniff在邁阿密電子音樂(lè)廠牌Merck以Helios的名義發(fā)行了首張專輯《Unomia》，引起了廣泛關(guān)注。2005年，他則以Goldmund的身份在英國(guó)廠牌Type名下發(fā)行了專輯《Corduroy Road》，里面則是動(dòng)人的鋼琴演奏，有幾首曲子還用于電影及電視劇配樂(lè)當(dāng)中。 2006年6月，Kenniff以充沛的創(chuàng)作能量推出個(gè)人第三張專輯，也就是Helios的第二張專輯《Eingya》。音符里是近年來(lái)Kenniff到歐洲各地旅行的所見(jiàn)所思，以及他對(duì)影像的獨(dú)特理解。
