The extraordinary American guitarist and composer Kaki King will soon be back in Italy with his project "The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body". for three dates: Monday 23 May 2016 will be at Tittoni Park in Desio (MB) to inaugurate the new festival dedicated to star-spangled songwriting Hello Folks Sessions (fruit of the collaboration between Barley Arts e Tittoni Park); Tuesday 24 May at the Parco della Musica in Padua e Wednesday 25 May at the Secci Theatre in Terni within the framework of the Musical Tastings Umbria. I tickets for the show of Desio will be on sale on the Ticketone starting from 10 a.m. on Tuesday 29 Marchwhile those for the concert of Padua are available on Mailticket. The sales circuit for the Terni date will be announced in the coming days.
Provocative and moving, surprising and beautiful, "The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body". è Kaki King at its best. The show deconstructs and redefines the role of the solo artist through an extraordinary multimedia performance using the projection mapping, an experimental video projection technique that makes it possible to transform a surface into a screen on which to project video content created from the geometric characteristics of the surface itself. A creation myth unlike any other, in which luminous visions of genesis and death intertwine, will be projected onto an Ovation Adamas 1581-KK Kaki King Signature 6-String acoustic guitar created especially for the occasion.
The project "The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body". is produced in collaboration with Glowing Picturesfamous for her work with the likes of David Byrne & Brian Eno, Beastie Boys, Animal Collective e TV On The Radio. A self-titled album with the soundtrack of the performance was released in March 2015.
"The process of creating this music has shown me once again that the guitar speaks and I am only its interpreter."
