## Resource

This week on No Simple Road, we welcome guitarist and composer Ben Garnett to dive into the stories, sounds, and inspirations behind his brand-new album, Kites Keep. Ben takes us on a journey through the making of Kites Keep, exploring how his love of film and visual storytelling shapes his approach to composition and improvisation. We discuss the interplay between music and cinema, the way sound can evoke imagery and emotion, and how creativity bridges the gap between what we hear and what we see. From his roots as a guitarist to his evolution as a bold, imaginative composer, Ben shares insights into his process, the challenges of pushing musical boundaries, and the joy of creating work that resonates with both ears and eyes. Topics We Cover: The inspiration and process behind Kites Keep How film and visual art influence Ben’s music The crossover between storytelling, composition, and improvisation Building bridges between the jam world, jazz, and cinematic soundscapes Whether you’re a fan of jam bands, jazz, cinematic music, or the creative process itself, this episode offers a deep look into the artistry of a rising voice in today’s music world.
