This page represents seven artists:
"Helios" is a moniker of ambient electronic artist Keith Kenniff.
Raised in rural Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Keith started playing drums, guitar and bass and played in a variety of touring bands, from rock to jazz and classical. He was finally drawn to study percussion at Boston's Berklee College of Music. He took a keen interest in independent film, world cinema, and filmscore.
His primary musical venture is the solo project 'Helios', showcasing his skill in percussion, his delicate touch on the guitar, his measured and spacious songwriting, and his self-taught electro-acoustic production.
Miami-based label Merck released his first album entitled 'Unomia' which went on to receive international acclaim. Less than a year after Unomia had hit the shelves, another of Keith's projects, 'Goldmund', saw the light of day with the release of 'Corduroy Road', a selection of solo piano recordings released on the young British label Type Records. This album was also well received internationally, and some of its tracks have been used in films and major television series.
June 2006 marked Keith's third full-length release on Type Records entitled 'Eingya', his most ambitious to date. Taking influence from his interest in cinema, and his extensive European travels, the resulting album is a stunning work of instrumental beauty.
The brief but breathtaking 'Ayres' EP released again on Type Records in 2007 introduces his timid, but very comfortable and intimate vocals for the first time, and marks the addition of yet another brilliant recording to his growing body of cathartic and haunting artistry.
His third album Caesura, a return back to the musical landscapes of Eingya, was released on Type in 2008. Keith has also written music for Honda, MTV, Deutsche Telekom, Audi and others, and can be heard on a number of documentaries and films such as Harmony Korine's film "Mr. Lonely".
Keith is currently working on a new project with his wife, Hollie, called Mint Julep and will release their new album "Save Your Season" in 2011. Other projects are Mint Julep, Goldmund, Meadows (children's music)
Kevin Kendle - ambient and new age artist
HELIOS is the name under which Kevin Kendle has been writing and producing chillout music since 2002.
The first project he became involved with was the "Buddha Experience" series of 5 double-CD sets of Zen chillout music. Some of the tracks produced for these CDs also appeared under name PROJECT RAINBOW.
Most recently, HELIOS has produced and mixed a fresh new compilation, Paradise Chillout, for the Paradise Music label. It contains 4 HELIOS tracks, including a new remix of the classic "Tree Top," plus specially selected tracks from the Paradise Music range.
He usually releases his music under his own name.
