054: San Diego Design Week: Exploring Inspiration & Sound with Kenseth Thibideau

Our San Diego Design Week series on inspiration and the senses continues with a deeper dive into sound with musician Kenseth Thibideau. Kenseth shares with us what inspires him to create, how he continues to develop his craft, and why experimenting and taking risks with our creative work is so valuable. We also discuss the impact sound can have on our immediate environment and how it can change or enhance our experience. Whichever medium you work with creatively, I hope this conversation inspires you to explore how sound could play a more prominent or intentional role.

Guest Bio

In the past dozen years, Kenseth Thibideau has become a staple of the Southern California independent music scene. He co-founded a pair of highly-acclaimed experimental rock groups (Tarentel and Rumah Sakit) while in San Francisco, then returned to San Diego to find himself suddenly collaborating with many of the city's most respected and acclaimed musicians. He soon became a touring member of Pinback and Three Mile Pilot, and formed Sleeping People, the frenetic instrumental group that also featured a pre-Dirty Projectors Amber Coffmann—all while continuing his semi-solo Howard Hello project with Marty Anderson (Okay, Dilute). No longer masked in monikers, Thibideau is making what may be the most subtly rewarding music of his career, displaying the countless strengths of one of the west coast's most genuinely talented musicians.
