New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-instrumentalists
Alexander J. Keller and
Vincent Pace, together with drummer/percussionist Stephen Pace met back in 1998 during session work.
The trio have toured extensively together and with different bands in Australia, UK, Ireland, Germany, Asia, New Zealand and the USA.
Performing, writing, recording, producing for their projects and for other artists and bands.
Strangely the long time friends had never actually stepped in a studio together as a team to record until they recorded the 'Graft' album.
Experimenting with natural acoustic instruments and keeping electronic sounds to bare minimum, consciously trying not to pursue a 'unique sound,' but rather working at creating an ultimate sound'- something that sounds complete in every way possible.
All three musicians come from different musical 'planets' and indicative that this can only contribute to a better purpose creatively. It helps to balance things out in the scheme of things and inject a more interesting, richer, diverse perspective - it's been the catalyst for their music.
A huge amount of time and effort is spent on the 'de-homogenisation process'. A new collective sound is only identifiable by exposing and infusing a mixture of fresh undiscovered elements and textures as the main ingredients; the work becomes as personal as your own fingerprint.
At the end of 2011 'Hounds Of Baker Street' released their first studio instrumental album - Graft. The songs are fused and immersed in a rich essence of tonal layers. The music crosses over naturally and unassumingly into uncharted genres. In 2012, 'Stormfront' an epic eight minute track in length won the instrumental category in the 'SongDoor songwritng competition in Nashville USA
They were also Finalists in the 2012
National Musicoz Awards in Australia and semi-finalists also the same year in the UK Songwriting contest.
Hounds Of Baker Street also have their music available for Film and TV Licensing via Resource Sound Ldt, a High Quality Production
Music Library based in the UK distributing music worldwide to Film and TV Productions.
