Keyboard Compositions
Sitting before four electronic keyboards, Kenneth Mills had hands that were refined by countless hours in the earlier years of his life, playing the masterworks of the classical piano repertoire.
The compositions "happened" in real time with no overdubs, in a single performance with each of the keyboards set up for different sounds. He would fly over the machinery, indeed seemed to float above it as he imparted a richness of feeling and naturalness to simultaneously composing and performing a new work!

Majestic ToneScape
Orchestral compositions by Kenneth G. Mills, conducted by Mark Skazinetsky. "Expressive melodies flow forth, wrapped in a kaleidoscopic orchestral palette; exquisite solo passages are executed fluently and with great feeling."
- Michael Small, Film Composer
"Playing, conducting and listening to Kenneth Mills' compositions is like being inside the music. He uses the beautiful colours of each instrument of the orchestra in a magical way and brings to the listener an incredible experience of the imagination and soul of Music."
- Mark Skazinetsky, Conductor
Associate Concertmaster, Toronto Symphony Orchestra
Promethean Fire
Promethean Fire was spontaneously composed and performed on four MIDI keyboards, each representing orchestral instruments.
"This truly astounding talent can best be described and imagined as a cross between a symphonic composer and a world-class jazz improvisor, in that his ideas flow uninterrupted (and virtually unedited or revised) from his soul to his fingers to our very fortunate ears."
- John Lissauer, Composer
Arrival of the Unexpected
Arrival of the Unexpected is spontaneously composed and performed in one pass on four MIDI keyboards, each representing orchestral instruments. With 25 years of training as a classical pianist and a devotion to bringing wonder and beauty through his music, Kenneth Mills went beyond the traditional boundaries of both classical and New Age music and yet still appeals to fans of each.
Let Robots Melt
These nine tracks are spontaneous compositions recorded live on four MIDI keyboards, each representing different orchestral sounds.
"The robot is a state that mechanicality evidences. It is hoped that all that is unfeeling, uncaring, and unresponsive in nature collapses so that Feeling can once again be felt as we engage one another in the stream of life."
- Kenneth G. Mills
This is a powerfully beautiful recording.
