To Jeff my longest standing friend. The night we ran into the field to climb into that old Victorian house in the woods. Fell asleep drunk on California wines, woke up in the morning and all the knives I had brought were gone. Never to be found again. My imaging of some dark interloper coming upon us and taking the knives, looking down on our dumb drunk faces...
lyrics
They took my knives
Did they softly caress my face with the blade as I slept
Did they linger
Did they play games dropping them and catching them above my chest
Did they linger
Did they notice a spider weaving a web across my face
Did they leave in the morning
Well they left me with nothing

I know of no other musician alive today who makes the listener feel like s/he's standing in front of something too old to be eternal. Record after record, Eyvind Kang has been building a singular body of work that revolves around precisely that experience. Ajaeng Ajaeng is beautifully recorded and is best appreciated as a deep listening experience; I've been playing it whilst alone in my evening walks. Kang's will reward your patience like very little music ever will. Cosmographer
