In this episode of The Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I meet Keith Marshall, also known as the musician of Key 13, as well as several other music projects. Keith shares his musical background, sparked by the purchase of a NanoKey 2 during the onset of the stay-at-home order. We talk about his inspirations, including the backstory of his band name and the eclectic sounds he creates using virtual instruments.

Keith also discusses his role in creating the Faircamp Webring and being part of the Bonkwave community. We also talk about the role federated platforms have in fostering a collaborative music environment, as well as the concept of Fair Traded Music Friday, which is aimed at promoting independent artists and their releases across federated platforms.

We also explore the technical side of his music production, including his use of Logic Pro, plugins to achieve guitar sounds, and synth textures.

Keith also tells me about his latest compilation, "Pretentious Incongruity," which revisits and remixes his past works.
