about

By Kyle Liedtke. Kyle is a native Oregonian who says he fell in love with the piano the first time he sat down at one when he was in seventh grade. He never, however, received formal training ("I only had the money for three lessons"), but it didn't stop him from pursuing his dreams. He produced two albums. Worlds on A Rainy Afternoon, that features his solo piano work, and Longing, a mostly instrumental with fourteen tracks that come across more like one, long piece, woven together with the same haunting emotions. Longing proves musical inspiration isn't always bound by human limitations. Liedtke, who can't read or write music, sat down and recorded his album after being away from the piano for several years. He wrote all the songs in the studio. "The engineer let me in a couple hours before the actual session where I'd come up with an idea. We'd record the idea later that night and fill out the tracks later." Not that some of the songs on his recording don't measure up to the kind of compositions that become familiar favorites. Tunes like "Thankful" and "The Day Johnny Learned to Fly" are pleasing and jazzy and provide a polished edge to the almost mystical quality of Liedtke's music. Musical improvisation and the passions of his heart, including love and longing, hope and melancholy, are the inspiration for Liedtke's work. Kyle was a gifted and beloved radio DJ and host working in Salem and Bend, OR. He interviewed many well known Christian musicians and authors. He was a powerful speaker and writer, pithy and potent, succinct in words and strong in the turn of a phrase. He coached many artists and authors through his Media Talk company. He was a wonderful conversationalist, and had prophetic insight into reality. But perhaps he was best known and loved as a wise and faithful friend. Kyle loved his family and friends deeply. After a long battle with a number of different health issues, Kyle passed away on February 14, 2020.
