Keith Kenniff

Keith Kenniff隶属天才音乐家的行列，那美妙的音符在他举首投足间四溢。儿时的他跟随从事音乐工作的父亲学习吉他、贝司、鼓，并在很多巡演乐团中演奏，音乐风格横跨古典、爵士与摇滚。经历了数次成功与失败后，他的音乐有稚嫩变得成熟，由杂乱变得统一。之后Kenniff进入了在波士顿享有声望的Berklee College of Music，在那他发掘了自己对影像的兴趣，从音乐出发，广泛涉猎了世界各地电影配乐和独立制片的知识及素养。通过这些兴趣Kenniff进一步发展了对空间的感知，这些因素在他今后的音乐中担当了重要角色。 2004年Kenniff在迈阿密电子音乐厂牌Merck以Helios的名义发行了首张专辑《Unomia》，引起了广泛关注。2005年，他则以Goldmund的身份在英国厂牌Type名下发行了专辑《Corduroy Road》，里面则是动人的钢琴演奏，有几首曲子还用于电影及电视剧配乐当中。 2006年6月，Kenniff以充沛的创作能量推出个人第三张专辑，也就是Helios的第二张专辑《Eingya》。音符里是近年来Kenniff到欧洲各地旅行的所见所思，以及他对影像的独特理解。
