UAF is Kevin Carnes' latest project, with releases highlighting his evolving collection of compositions and collaborations.

UAF blurs the boundaries of music - rock is funk is punk is jazz; it is afro-electro-dance-dub-noise-art.
Style takes a back seat to feeling, and composition and improvisation are equally represented.
UAF is a weapon, UAF is food, UAF is sex, UAF is a reflection, UAF is music.

BROUN FELLINIS

Since 1991, this Bay Area-based trio (Kevin Carnes, David Boyce, Kirk Peterson) has been innovating and disseminating their "Brounsoun," a sonic expression inspired by the ancient and future traditions of jazz, funk, Afrocentric Hip Hop, Dub, film music and African/Indian trance sounds. Out of nowhere, improvised themes and motifs morph into well-crafted songs with evocative melodies, exotic harmonies and infectious rhythms.
