  • Eyvind Kang : Grass


    The fifth album for the Tzadik label !!!

    Eyvind Kang's newest CD collects quiet new compositions spanning the past five years, which he considers to be among his truly breakthrough works. Music for solo piano, string quintet and more take the unique sonic environments of Morton Feldman to an entirely new place via the metaphors of agricultural poetry, Chinese medicine, sweatlodge, and Ikat weaving. Mesmerizing work from the elusive and ever-stimulating mind of Eyvind Kang!

    Featuring: Adrienne Varner, Steve Moore, Taina Karr, Mary Riles, Janel Leppin, Moriah Neils, Eyvind Kang, and Timba Harris.

  • Eyvind Kang : The Narrow Garden


    While Athlantis is a choral piece inspired by Renaissance era literature and philosophy, The Narrow Garden is inspired by the natural world. “I composed most of the songs at a pond on Vashon Island,” explains Kang. “I also went down to Yelm and Olympia and music just came into my head. There were birds, plants and flowers. It’s a concept of love, of poetry, like a troubadour or ashugh, courtly love that goes in two directions – one the more ineffable, kind of delightful which is the idea of ‘Pure Nothing’ and the other direction is the implication of a kind of violence.”

    The Narrow Garden was recorded in Barcelona with a group of 30 musicians conducted by Eyvind Kang, featuring the Embut Ensemble, Jessika Kenney, Jenny Scheinman, Stephanie Griffin, Marika Hughes, Shelley Burgon, Taina Karr, Daphna Mor, Trevor Dunn, April Centrone, etc...
