Kevin Hufnagel

Kevin Hufnagel

Kevin Hufnagel was first played on NTS on 2 July 2017. Songs played include Damaged Clouds.

Kevin Hufnagel has been playing the guitar for over 20 years and is perhaps best known for his work in progressive instrumental rock band Dysrhythmia, and guitar-as-wall-of-sound duo Byla. Kevin is now also a member of avant-death metal act Gorguts, and the more recent post-punk/shoegaze metal band Vaura. Kevin's first full-length solo recording 'Songs for the Disappeared', released on his own Nightfloat Recordings imprint, is an album which seeks to unify eclectic and exploratory uses of the acoustic guitar into a cohesive and gripping whole. Tracks like the exotic "Hunter/Hunted" and "Insects Will Tell" build layer upon layer of rhythmically propulsive sound through the use of "prepared guitar" [the act of altering the instruments timbre by placing various objects on or between the strings]. In contrast are pieces like the haunting "The Bridge" and "Twilight Clocks"; solo guitar works at their most naked and stark. Bridging the gap between the two are atmospheric interludes such as "Night In Reverse" and "Will They Find Me" which make use of various Echoplex looping techniques and electronic processing of acoustic guitar to an almost choral effect. A new, all-electric guitar solo album called 'Transparencies' will be released in Jan. 2012, the second on Hufnagel's own Nightfloat Recordings imprint.
