LATEST RELEASE ON TZADIK
Impositions and Consequences (2007)
All original compositions that dynamically and creatively combine pop, rock, classical, and improvisation. "His work is intense and remarkably colorful. Blending diverse styles, instruments and sounds, Keller is a brave explorer of uncharted territory, and though the delicate balancing of composition and improvisation he has made some remarkable new music. Including a dynamic percussion quartet beautifully performed by the world renown ensemble RedFishBlueFish, a wild piece for voice and ensemble, a piece for solo electric guitar and a chamber work commissioned for this release that brings many of his interests together into a bizarre aggregate, this is a diverse and enjoyable CD from a versatile young musician who is not afraid to take chances."--John Zorn.

Colin McAllister and Derek Keller: Solos and Duos for Guitar (2004)
This record encapsulates a wide variety of modern styles and transcends the typical ideas of guitar solos and duos. Starting with a rare piece by the famous American minimalist, Steve Reich, these pieces explore texture and timbres from straight-up acoustic guitar by Italian Franco Donatoni, to the extended techniques of spectralist Tristan Murail. The disc includes a composition for acoustic guitar and tape by Chris Mercer, an innovative, witty piece by Helmut Lachenmann, and an interactive work for electric guitar and computer by the duo's own Derek Keller.
