ongoing Covid-19 affairs | #sinnersongwriter10 // the 4K RESTORATION PROJECT (The fully restored YouTube Playlist)
Under the moniker “#sinnersongwriter10”—commemorating the tenth anniversary of his solo-career—a 4K restoration project was ignited with the release of the video “When Doves Cry”.
Living with the constant fear of repeating himself, #JK—as a solo self-proclaimed sinner-songwriter—the last ten years, has traveled through a variety of music-styles. Combining rock with jazz, funk, punk, electro, dance, and more avant-garde-ish styles, he became one of the pioneering artists, who openly rejected the tendence, ethics and popularity in the current music industry; paving a unique path for himself to follow.
Sonically, #JK never shied away from experiments—creating new instruments from the scratch and eschewing easy-going digital techniques available—but still maintained a somewhat accessible sound.

On the subject of video, #JK uses the same standards he set for himself when it comes to the use of tape or instrumentation. Whether it was 16mm, 8mm film, black and white, color, or a broken-down VHS camera; his videos portray a strange realm in the world of popularized video. Stand-alone works of art, almost.
