Branches

a pennsylvanian by birth, keith kenniff is best known as the brains behind dulcet ambient / electronic practitioners helios, and the fingers on the ivories of post-classical piano minimalists goldmund (whose music was once described by ryuichi sakamoto as 'so, so, so beautiful'). keith's music has been used on the soundtrack to harmony korine's 2007 comedy-drama 'mister lonely' and on the trailer for the 2009 academy award-nominated 'revolutionary road', directed by sam mendes. 'branches' sounds like a journey that ebbs and flows through a wondrous forest, accelerating and slowing up to reveal beauty in all its little nooks and crannies. the album is a haunting and beautiful work that will appeal to fans of max richter, johann johannsson, nils frahm and hauschka.
