This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
As Goldmund, Kenniff has disregarded the electronic elements of his music almost entirely in favour of just a piano, a microphone and occasionally a guitar. 'Corduroy Road' is thirteen tracks of pure recording, the sound of the piano being opened and the feet on the pedals, the sound of fingers pressing lovingly onto the keys. 'Corduroy Road' is rooted in Kenniff's love of folk music from the American Civil War. The story has clear themes; loss, history, friendship, camaraderie, forgiveness and hope, all clearly marked out by musical segments.

“Goldmund's track 'Ba' from the album Corduroy Road has been chosen for the music for Honda's latest UK TV commercial. The ad features Honda's latest scientific breakthrough, the robot Asimo, which is apparently capable of realtime human-like movements - fascinating to watch.”

“The 90 second TV advertisement, which premieres on 15th December, follows ASIMO on a journey of discovery through the corridors and exhibits of a science museum.”
