Artist picture
Deep, reflective, and thoughtful music. Searching for the deepest core of musical expression.
My name is Kenneth Edward Keyn. I am simply a musician. I strive to understand the deeper things that music has to offer. I am a composer of deep, rich, and expressive music. I am classically trained, but I explore a plethora of genres and styles. I specialize in orchestral, choral, and small ensemble work. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory and Composition from Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. I am the primary co-composer on the iPhone game Trenches. I am a long standing member of OverClocked ReMix, where I am featured on multiple album releases and individual arrangements.

Story behind the song
This song was written as an entry for the Conceptual Music Competition (CMC 2) on the forums of OverClocked ReMix. The story behind the song is as follows: "The mischevious apprentice of a master wizard sneaks into his teacher's study. He looks for the largest, most imposing, and powerful-looking book of spells he can find. Placed on a dias in front of the shelves rests an ancient tome. He picks it up and begins to read. The letters, resentful to be read by such a lowly wizard, resist and shuffle and move about on the page. Finally, he finds one spell that looks exciting - and has, so far, remained stationary. He begins to recite the words, only to find that he no longer has control of what he's saying! The spell has taken over him, forcing him to cast lesser spells and enchantments before finally casting itself - an evil spell of fate worse than death. In the face of utter desperation and dispair, the young apprentice somehow manages to close the book with every last ounce of strength he can muster. The spell stops short and the apprentice collapses, panting for breath on the floor... with his master now looking over his shoulder..."
