KAKI KING: ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS OF OUR TIME

.

Kaki King is an equally innovative composer who constantly pushes the boundaries of her instrument. In Modern Yesterdays Kaki continues to deconstruct and redefine the role of solo instrumental artist though virtuoso technique, insatiable imagination, and boundless humanity. Her now-signature multi-media performance, both provocative and moving, uses projection mapping to present the guitar as a tool that can shape both music and video content, all triggered (and often improvised live) via her Ovation Adamas Signature 6-String Acoustic guitar, customized specifically for her multimedia performance. “Everything about this show is special…a visual and auditory experience that’s interactive, striking and worth experiencing.” –Guitar World “It’s a beautiful thing when two entirely different art forms fit so well together that the boundaries between vision and sound, hand and ear, line and note, begin to blur. We’re feeling that particular kind of synesthesia…” –Huffington Post “King’s evocative performance was a sumptuous feast for the senses, a dizzying display of sound and vision by a guitarist already renowned for her innovation.”–Boston Globe “bare, powerful, and propulsive.” -KUTX Austin “If there’s one thing you can predict about the iconoclastic avant-guitarist Kaki King, it’s that the only thing you expect her to do next is that she’ll do the unexpected, every time.” – Digital Trends
