I DO NOT use any AI  for anything I create.

I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.

---------------------------

Born in 1970. Music fan since 1985. Now heaving fun with making music. I'm self-taught, playing everything by ear. Started in 1990's but due to certain circumstances left in 1998 until April 2022. My music is created in Ableton Live 11 Intro (until december 2022) and 11 Standard with mostly free plug-ins. Fan of soundtracks (my personal heros are John Williams, Clint Mansell, Philip Glass, Thomas Newman, Hybrid, Hans Zimmer and much more), world music (Dead Can Dance), chillout (Bent, Zero7, Groove Armada, St. Germain, Air, Röyksopp, Kosheen and more), trip-hop (Massive Attack, Portishead), acid jazz (Us 3), fusion (Pat Metheny Group, Dirty Loops), progressive rock (Porcupine Tree), classical (Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Debussy, Orff, Mussorgsky) electronica (Imogen Heap), IDM/House (Moderat, Apparat, Plaid) and electronic music (Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Isao Tomita, Marek Biliński, J.J. Jarre).

Still learning how to produce music.

falcon....  we are developing a new sub genre - 'Ambi-Prog'. We 'Absolutely' do not use A.I., each track comes from a session of ideas and feelings that we make up as we go along, then developed accordingly while keeping the energy and feelings of the original Jams

Thx for visiting and listening, I am an amateur guitarist, play a little keybord, bass and drums too. I love music.

A longtime musician, Rod Kinny has always had a passion for his craft. Beginning in elementary school with band and choir to playing bass in local rock bands. After graduating high school, the native Minnesotan enlisted in the US Air Force. In the mid 1980's he found himself stationed in England. When not on duty he would frequently escape base. Most often to the lure of the bright lights of London for music, art, pubs, & nightclubs. Initially hesitant of some of the British pop charts, he soon came to appreciate the music of Level 42, Peter Gabriel, The Prefab Sprout, Scritti Pollitti, and many others. After leaving the Air Force and taking up digs in Minneapolis, he began playing in bands and doing catering. With frustration mounting, playing bass in local rock bands wasn't perking his creativity. And so, he quit music...... only to be reborn as a solo artist. In early 2002 he released his lifelong dream of a solo record.  

  In early 2007 he began what was to be his first breakthrough release with Producer Joe Puerta of Ambrosia, and Bruce Hornsby & The Range. The result  was “Higher Self” released in May of 2010. “Higher Self” has sold in 12 countries and the title track went to #1 on Indie-Music.com’s Adult Contemporary chart. The musical style is reminiscent of 1970‘s American West Coast album oriented rock with current, often  inspirational themes.

Flashing forward to 2013, he began a collaboration with Producer/Engineer Brian Bart. Brian was a member of the legendary Twin Cities band Dare Force. He has worked with Jim Peterik, (Survivor) & Kelly Keagy. (Night Ranger) 2017 saw the release of “Forces of Nature” which featured the songs “Truth Vibrations”, “Feargal Sharkey”, as well as the title track.

And lastly, Rod Kinny - the Definitive Collection. A “best of” compilation featuring three new songs recorded in 2023. Rod has worked with many great musicians over the years including Michael B. Nelson, Steve Strand, Jimi Behringer, Brian Reidinger, Ken Wilson, Donnie La Marca, Matt Fink, Bill Brown, Bobby Schnitzer, John Calarco, & Keith Pulvermacher to name a few. The new album will be available in autumn 2023.
