Description
Since settling into Bristol's cultural hub Keeno has thrived. His latest project 'Music For Orchestra: Drums & Bass' fuses two worlds, pumping rich classical scores with an underground drum & bass heartbeat. The recording of live orchestral elements in four new tracks has propelled his distinctive repertoire to new heights, making an incredible follow-up to his sophomore album 'Life Cycle'.
Opening track 'Enigma' balances thick staccato strings, long drawn harmonics and weighty bass for full impact. Since Keeno took part in Enter Shikari's 'Hospitalised' remix album frontman Rou Reynolds has been a big fan. He's returned the favour with a vocal lead on 'Shelter From The Storm' where natural elements create an earthly atmosphere for this deep bassy roller. Turning to Keeno's more dancefloor focused persona 'Fading Fast' mixes a heavy reverberating bassline with sharp breaths of strings to create a tension-building, powerful counterpart. Finally, the church-like vocals of 'Insomnia Of An Anxious Mind' echo the somber sounds of late night emotions - a satisfyingly moody alternative to Keeno's usual uplifting magic.
"Music for Orchestra: Drums & Bass is a collection of tunes inspired by my recent move to Bristol. I finally have a dedicated space to be creative and it's really transformed my music. I feel really proud of this bunch of tunes - they reflect my full range of classical styles and go off on the dancefloor." - Will Keeno
