Miniatures by Ken Sharp
welcome…
introducing my new album, "miniatures."
it's a low-fi effort recorded all by myself at home (with guests fernando perdomo and kaitlin wolfberg contributing to a few tracks).
32 songs, 1-2 minute "miniatures," lending testament to the beauty in simplicity.
intimate and introspective, a bit baroque in places, “miniatures” is an acoustic flavored record with dollops of melody, layers of vocals, guitars galore punctuated by colorful bursts of piano, harpsichord, ebow, organ, mellotron, moog, celeste, vibes, glockenspiel and bell trees.
i hope you’ll enjoy your trip into my musical world of “miniatures.”
