SongVault Artist Profile

R. Kanes compositions are a blend of exotic spirituality, nostalgic western melodies, and a global groove that attempts to not only speak to the soul, but to lift it up as well. Preferring live performance of instrumentation and vocal work over the ‘cut-and-paste’ sampling prevalent within similar genre’s, R. Kane maintains a solid, organic world texture over a classical, electronica backdrop. Writing music for almost 20 years , he has performed, written or collaborated in just about every genre of music; from classical to electronica, metal to ambient and contemporary jazz to world fusion, carrying pieces of each with him to comprise the evolving global style he has made his own. Spending many years studying the techniques and subtle inflections of many world instruments, R. Kane has applied these to more contemporary styles to achieve an exotic b ut intimately familiar cross-blend of geography and nostalgia.
