BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE - Kenny Weydener uses rock-flavored ostinatos to support melodic lead lines on his self-produced instrumental CD, "Project One". With just percussion backing him,Kenny invokes tons of tones with his modified P-Bass,using strums, strokes, plucks, picks, chords,and effects to broaden his tonal palette. "Project One" isn't a wankfest disguised as soloing. It's solo music.
THIRD BASS(UK) - With seamless looping of percussion and layered chordal and melody tracks this New York based composer and bassist has created a dark and introspective set of instrumental pieces.If your looking for a label you could use 'Ambient' or even,at a push,'Drum'n Bass' but to do that would be to miss out on so much of the intricate beauty of Weydener's work.There is sensitivity at work here in pieces like 'J-31' or 'Wings' which contrast well with the rythmic,almost funk 'Black Hole or 'Smoothie'.Weydener reveals himself to be an artist in touch with both his instrument and his emotions.
