Even Ken and his trusted psychic sidekicks Miss Cleo and Jackie Stallone did not see it coming. After 10 months, Music For Commuting is still taking the world by storm, continuing to grab the attention of major press outlets such as the New York Times (twice), Washington Post, Orange County Register, CNN.com, Autoblog and 70 more places, but who is counting? Come on Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Chicago Tribune, you know you have copies, you have talked about doing articles, show us the ink, or at least the e-ink. Music For Commuting has spent the last 10 months on the Zone Music Reporter Top 100 Radio Airplay charts – the only place with in-depth coverage of ambient and instrumental music. Sorry Billboard, your Top 10 New Age albums chart is so 1987, even if Ken is ever on it.

Now get ready to get your inner funk out as Ken prepares to release 7890, his homage to his love of instrumental funk, fusion and synth music of both yesterday and today. If not for anything else, it will inspire you to work on your A-game funk phrases, such as “Get The Funk Out Of Here”, “Funk You” and “Who The Funk Do You Think You Are.”  All Ken asks is that you give him the industry standard 7% royalty on all T-shirts you sell with those phrases.

In other news, Ken was selected to be part of an exclusive iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch App called NewAgePiano along with 11 other super talented pianists. Now it has been revamped with 20 total artists, about 19 with better piano skills than Ken. Do yourself a favor and download it here – it is free.

Ken’s music has also been featured on many airlines recently including Singapore, United, British Airways and BMI as well as the backing for some awesome nature videos at Green Global Travel which can be viewed here, and should soon be available on the World Wildlife Fund website as well.
