about

Kuhn’s ‘Fall Risk’ reveals new dimensions of songcraft, lyricism, and multi-instrumentalism in the music of Philadelphia-based artist Bennett Kuhn. Singing on a recording for the first time, Kuhn breathes life into vocoders, pitch processors, and the alto saxophone. Weighted by thumping drums and tectonically expansive synth brass, ‘Fall Risk’ is an alien and earthly pop song about desire and death, carrying on, and letting go, with themes and imagery reverently gesturing to Lucille Clifton’s poem ‘the lesson of the falling leaves.’

Kuhn co-founded the Astro Nautico record label and artist collective with Sam O.B. and Paul Jones in Brooklyn in 2009. He facilitated the growth of an eclectic cast of dozens of artists including Photay, L’Rain, and Jon Bap while releasing his own productions, including cult classic ‘Slime Beach,’ lo-fi offerings under monikers Billa Bronx, felix.castenzio and bc_, two mini-albums as Bennett Kuhn, and more.

At age 33 last year, Kuhn took up the alto sax, his first wind instrument, as part of an experiment in lifelong learning and public mistake making (documented via @radiokuhn Instagram stories archive). Returning after over a decade to the Kuhn moniker, ‘Fall Risk’ is an expression of Kuhn’s lifelong aspiration to advance music as a catalyst for personal and collective renewal. In addition to composing and curating music, Kuhn offers alternative mental health-related music services virtually and in Philadelphia, where he lives.
