Innocence Is Not Lost; It Is Taken Away

Michael Keller

Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Michael Keller's third album is a departure from his first two, as it takes an experimental approach to a very personal time in the artist's life. Innocence Is Not Lost; It Is Taken Away features 37 tracks of varying length (most are under 2 minutes), the album features ambient soundscapes, sci-fi sound effects, guitar soloing, and programmed instrumentation, mixed and chopped to create a musical portrait of one year in his life. The music on this album will challenge the listener at times, soothe and comfort at other times, and hopefully allow the listener to share what the artist experienced. The artist recommends listening to the album on headphones, or in the dark.
