Miscellaneous Media Quotes
enny Weydener uses rock-flavored ostinatos to support melodic lead lines on his self-produced instrumental CD, "Project One". With just percussion backing him, Kenny invokes tons of tones from his modified P-Bass, using strums, strokes, plucks, picks, chords, and effects to broaden his tonal palette. "Project One" isn't a wankfest disguised as soloing. It's solo MUSIC - Bass Player Magazine
With seamless looping of percussion and layered chordal and melody tracks this New York based composer and bassist has created a dark and introspective set of instrumental pieces. If you're looking for a label you could use 'Ambient' or even, at a push, 'Drum 'n' Bass' but to do that would be to miss out on so much of the intricate beauty of Weydener's work. There is sensitivity at work here in pieces like 'J-31' or 'Wings' which contrasts well with the rhythmic, almost-funk 'Black Hole' or 'Smoothie'. Weydener reveals himself to be an artist in touch with both his instrument and his emotions - Third Bass (UK)
