With The Neck is a Bridge to the Body, Kaki King explores the ever-changing relationship between instrument and player
“I approach acoustic guitar the way Native Americans approached the buffalo,” Kaki King says. “I try to use every part of the animal.”
In 30-plus years of playing, 35-year-old King has done just that—employing every piece of her instrument for double-handed fingerstyle melodies and labyrinths of sound. On The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body, King extends the reach and range of acoustic-guitar performance to components beyond the instrument, including a computer interface that allows her guitar to trigger visual events, and digital projections that cast luminous visions onto her signature Ovation Adamas six-string.
