Keith Kenniff has brought back his Helios moniker for a new remix of his current project Mint Julep 's single "Days Gone By" . While the original is pure shoegazing synth-pop ear candy, Helios' remix mellows it down to a chill downtempo/trip-hop atmosphere. It makes a lovely ambient soundtrack for the late hours. Watch the creepy music video for the original below, which is like a cool modern spin on an Argento horror flick. [...]
There are many blossoms of great beauty - many indeed. But they cannot compare with the beauty of the blossoms of blossom town, for these bossoms also have human feelings. - Sharebon.

Mint Julep , the husband-wife duo Keith and Hollie Kenniff , has made the first song from their upcoming album "Save Your Season" available for free download. "Aviary " is a lovely, upbeat pop-track, mainly based on electronics and with Hollie Kenniff's dreamy vocals on top. "Reminds me of Cocteau Twins..." says one of the people who have commented the track on Soundcloud, and I agree. The two bands definitely work in the same musical neighbourhood. The Kenniffs are also responsible for several other interesting projects, - all favourites of [...]
The second volume of the Circle Into Square Compilation has been on constant rotation here at GIMME TINNITUS World Headquarters.

Tracklisting: Big Pauper / Clinic Hours Loden / Hink Rickolus / Floating Is Better Big Spider's Back / [...]
And we're back! I took a week off from the grind and have found that my baseball team (Colorado Rockies) have hit rock bottom and have had zero luck. The Mavericks and Heat (shocker) will play in the NBA Finals ; the refs have the Heat winning in 5 games, you know, because they can't make it TOO obvious and "POTC part 43 is the number one movie in the world. I ALMOST got sucked into going to watch it on vacation, however, I decided to catch some sun on the beach. I'm going to miss just [...]
Ægteparret Keith og Hollie Kenniff har været initiativtagere til en fantastisk kompilering til støtte for ofrene af jordskælvet i Japan med en række af de mest toneangivende og talentfulde navne indenfor ambient/eksperimental/neoklass isk musik. Navne som Hammock, Peter Broderick, Rhian Sheehan, Dustin O'Halloran, Goldmund, Helios, Keith Kenniff, Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, Jon Hopkins, Ulrich Schnauss, Balmorhea, Max Richter er alle kunstnere, jeg beundrer for deres kompositoriske evner og sans for melankoli. For kun $20 får du 38 numre, hvoraf de fleste er komponeret eksklusivt til denne udgivelse eller tidligere uudgivet. [...]
Here's a trailer for The Last Survivor . It's an excellent documentary that has been out for a couple months that Keith Kenniff (aka Goldmund / Helios) did the soundtrack for. The documentary follows four different survivors of genocide in their quest to make sense of their experiences and move on. Soundtrack review is forthcoming. Share and Enjoy:
"Certains artistes influencent tellement l'art qu'à travers leurs œuvres et par simple reproduction, détournement, leur travail peut vivre pendant des années sans même la moindre influence de leur part" c'est le cas de Marcus Eoin et Michael Sandison. En témoigne ce fantastique album de l'américain Synthetrix qui s'est amusé à rejouer certaines des plus belles pièces de l'échiquier géant des écossais de Warp dans un album à thème: Synthetrix plays the music of Boards Of Canada (album en téléchargement libre que tu pourras retrouver intégralement et facilement grâce à l'ami google) Voici mes deux morceaux favoris de l'opus: [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Jon Hopkins, Boards of Canada, Apparat "Helios - Bounce Dive" What's so good? I knew earlier this week that I wanted to write about Helios for this post but I wasn't exactly sure of what to say until this morning. Today marked the first day where I really felt the change of the seasons. Leaves of all different colors were blowing from every direction as I drove into work, and [...]
Tweet As you probably know, I listen to a lot of different music, - mostly indiepop, folk and experimental music/neoclassical/electronica . All genres have their wonderful moments. One of the artists who in many ways operate in all "my" genres, is the Portland Oregon-based composer Keith Kenniff . He's probably most known under his aliases Helios and Goldmund , but he also has a very nice indie/dreampop band together with his wife Hollie called Mint Julep [...]
:papercutz - Lylac (Helios Remix) from :papercutz on Vimeo . I had never heard of :papercutz before but stumbled upon this via @lizzyville on twitter. She manages a great site and was giving this vid a nod so here we are. First things first, the song is really great. Add the gorgeous, lush images which come courtesy of Japanese animation star Daihei Shibataof and you get what I believe is supposed to represent the beginning of life -heady stuff- and you also get a great piece of art. < via >
Efter en længere pause fra bloggen pga. kærlighedskvaler og dødsfald i familien er jeg nu så småt tilbage i blogsfæren. Denne gang skal det handle om Keith Kenniff, som laver musik under flere navne. Ét af dem er Mint Julep , der består af Keith Kenniff og hans kone Hollie Kenniff. Jeg opdagede duoen, fordi jeg godt kan lide Helios , som er et af Keiths enmandsprojekter, og Mint Julep var sjovt nok en af Helios' Myspace venner. Genremæssigt er vi [...]
There's not a new day without a free download compilation/sampler/release on the internet anymore, increasingly becoming the tool of the trade. First label compilation by Portland's Circle into Square is a 13 track sampler with electronic, indie, indietronic stuff and electronic hip-hop. Some better known artists like Boy in Static and Helios are mingled with less known artists. Overall, a good one, liked Helios' Bohrenisms on Distance, and just realized I've never heard Japanese rap when I confronted it on mic.edu's Surrogate Role Model. Free download. Free download on Circle Into Square [...]
We've got one pair of tickets for a lucky soul this week, an all-inclusive night of ambient and post-rock at Cafe du Nord: Lymbyc Systym , Helios (Portland) and Cloud Archive (Saturday, 9:30pm). Lymbyc Systym (Tempe) is a sibling duo who have kept the momentum going since early last year: doing a split EP and tour with This Will Destroy You , and a full-length in November which they're promoting now by touring with Helios. Shutter Release ( Mush Records ) is a smooth continuum [...]
I've been sick in bed but that hasn't stopped me from digging deep for music in between long naps, I found soo many nice tracks I even want to post the 4 songs for tomorrow now. Helios is one of those bands i'll always check out because I know they'll have a stand out track on there album every time and this album is no exception. The song Cross The Ocean is the closest i've heard to something like Boards of Canada in a while but without the PBS feel, [...]
We've been fans of Goldmund aka Keith Kenniff, or Helios as we've known him from Merck Records releases, for about four years now. It's cool to see that he's branching out into commercials. It's always fun to hear music you like in commercials because then at least, even if people are in the kitchen getting a snack or conversing when the music is playing, you know it made it out to people's lives: regardless of whether they were paying attention. We always pay attention to music. Everywhere. Commercials, [...]
All is wild, all is silent heet de nieuwe plaat van Balmorhea die eerder dit jaar verscheen op Western Vinyl . Een prachtige plaat vol met overwegend instrumentale folky post-rock muziek. Sinds kort is er ook een remix album verschenen met daarop remixen van een flink aantal groten der ambient en modern klassieke muziek. Peter Broderick, Jacaszek, Machinefabriek en Eluvium om er maar een paar te noemen. Het resulteert in een prachtige collectie die meteen een staalkaart vormt van wat deze scene momenteel te bieden heeft. Verstilde pianoklanken, uitdeiende drones en golvende loops. [...]
