The multitalented producer returns to conjure minimalist strokes of classical electronica
Keith Kenniff is at home in the realm of quiet thoughts and movements of neoclassical work which flow with neither haste nor hesitation. Native to Pennsylvania, the producer has spread his discography across a number of projects and aliases. While our focus here is on his work under the moniker of Goldmund, there’s no doubt that Kenniff’s work has been deeply influenced by his ventures into electronica and ambient as Helios, and the joint project Mint Julep in which he explores indie rock.
Goldmund is the source for some of Kenniff’s most minimal work, heavily focused on deliberate, essentialist piano. With skilful use of reverb and synthesizer, Goldmund diffuses an atmosphere of calm into the environment, slowing time and bringing into existence a layer of protection from the tumultuous world that we live in.
The sounds cultivated by Goldmund have garnered praise from industry peers including Ryuichi Sakamoto of the ground-breaking Yellow Magic Orchestra, who called the work ‘so, so, so beautiful’. Perhaps one of the reasons that Goldmund is able to draw this focus is how effortless the fruits of his talents and patience appear.
His upcoming album ‘The Time It Takes’ is expected on October 16th, preceded by our featured track from the LP, ‘For a Time’.
