Keene is an audio-visual project which started life in 2005 by D. Mitsiopoulos, following K. Giazlas in the same year. After a period of experimentation, a collection of tracks came about and was finally handed by H. Martis (d-os.org), who joined the project, while working on additional production and mastering.

The music of Keene can partly remind of the dark aesthetics of the 4AD in its mid/late 80’s, the deep ambient atmospheric sounds of Biosphere, the surreal declination of Coil and the earthly echoes of kraut rock.

Mostly acoustic and atmospheric they feature a narrative, melodic and sometimes cinematic flow that seems to enrich this feeling of melancholic recollection and introspection with enough breathing space.

“River & The Fence” is an introspective but at the same time cosy album, swinging in dreams and being characterized by a particularly elaborative sound mastering
and production. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
