Ken Philmore
2006 T&T Steelband Panorama Season
Trinidad - This year famed arranger, composer and steelpan instrumentalist Ken "Professor" Philmore will be applying his craft with a new group, Sound Specialists of Laventille. The steelband arranger was hired by the steel orchestra to arrange their panorama tune for the upcoming 2006 Trinidad and Tobago national steelband music panorama competition. Sound Specialists of Laventille will be entering the medium band category which allows a maximum of ninety performing musicians on stage. According to Mr. Philmore, the interest in acquiring his services was being entertained for a while by the organization; however it was only recently that a deal was put in place. The song of choice will be "Colours Again" popularized by Trinidad recording artist, Destra Garcia. Destra is among the region's most successful soca music entertainers. Philmore considers Destra's performance in this song one of this year's most exciting. Sound Specialists of Laventille is already mid-way through the required (maximum length) eight- minute piece. Philmore reports that the support for the band has been very strong and things are progressing quite well. Moreover, Philmore expects an extended business and musical relationship with the organization, as he sees the steel orchestra's management as organized and capable. He will also be creating music for the Laventille steel orchestra's stage side which he noted is very strong after the carnival season. Philmore also said that he was a firm supporter of the 'back in times' concept as it provided the arranger with more choices. Furthermore, he did not feel this rule hampered the development of new material or the creative song writing process.
