Kenneth is a classical and jazz saxophonist, composer and artistic researcher. He is a founder member of the Quirk ensemble.
Research interests
Research interests look to embodiment, and the relationship between the psychophysical energies of the performer and the creation of sound. Exploring the inner and outer-world tensions of the performer, looking towards a Jungian approach to the understanding of ‘a realm of innerness’ in relation to individuation and evolution of the performer. Current research is around classical saxophone performance, using organicism as a conceptual tool to explore differences in sound and embodiment between using a saxophone reed made from cane and a reed made from synthetic material.
