After hearing their ambient classic, 1988's <i>Chill Out</i>, he was looking around for inspiration, and found it in a friend's recording of Indian street sounds. Moved by the noise and clamor, he fused it with ambient loops and soundscapes and began his production career as All India Radio. Deliberately lo-fi, his music is mostly instrumental and entirely downtempo, blending melodies, street sounds and cinematic atmospherics to create both an homage to the KLF masterpiece and a whole new musical. It is fitting that he would go on to work on a collaborative album with the Triffids' Graham Lee, since it was he who provided similar slide guitar work for <i>Chill Out</i>. Along with his All India Radio release schedule, Kennedy also writes music for TV, including the series <i>One Tree Hill</i> and <i>Reality Bites</i>. - Nicholas BakerAmbienten720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:55:57 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6825304&rws=%2Fall-india-radio%2Fmusic-videos.rss It was the KLF that put Australia's Martin Kennedy on the path to founding All India Radio in 1999.
