Kenneth G | Live on the Cosmic Stage!

Kenneth G is a musician, composer, and sound enthusiast who lives in Duluth, MN. He is interested in the sounds that are produced in nature and how they can be incorporated into music, and also in how the sounds of the industrialized world combine with and influence the natural world.
