Secret Of A Memory (2011) by bo keeney (solo releases, 2006 - 2016)

In 2009, I signed with Universal, earning the resources to produce an original full-length album. 

I had in album in mind that would transition from genre to genre with each song, and within the songs themselves. 

Given the complex nature of the project, I found myself producing the album, and performing most of the instrumental parts, with some exceptions. 

Despite this, it was an intensely collaborative project, including close collaboration with Grammy-winning producers Jimmy Hogarth and Cameron Craig, and a mixing apprenticeship with legendary Grammy-winner Jeremy Wheatley. 

Due to conflicts of interest, the project never saw the light of day - it still brings back mixed feelings, but feels important to include.
