About this site
This Electronic Press Kit was conceived, designed, and is maintained by G. Ken Holman in collaboration with Anthropic Claude. The division of labour is straightforward: Ken is the Webmaster; Claude is the Webslave.
All content — photographs, biographical text, performance descriptions, and editorial decisions — originates with Ken. Claude handles structural design, code generation, and site maintenance on instruction.
The site is built with Hugo, a static site generator. Source files are maintained in a private GitHub repository under version control. Deployment is automated via GitHub Actions, which builds the Hugo site and pushes the generated output to a virtual private server hosted at Crane Softwrights Ltd.
The domain GKHmusic.ca is a Canadian registration served from the same VPS infrastructure as CraneSoftwrights.com, managed through WHM and cPanel.
Lightbox functionality is provided by GLightbox. Typography is set in Cormorant Garamond and Source Serif 4, served via Google Fonts. The section dividers reproduce a photograph of the Longido-sourced guitar strap belonging to Nashipai, Ken's custom 12-string guitar.
The colour palette is drawn from two sources: the earthy brown tones of Ken's business card, and the deep navy of the Maasai-patterned drapery used as a backdrop for photographs of Nashipai. The decorative motif — geometric symbols in the mud cloth tradition — is taken directly from the guitar strap sourced in Longido, Tanzania.
The design intent is understated and honest: a performing musician's professional presence, not a marketing exercise.
