Daily Jam - Innocent Eye, Crystal See

Here is some wonderfully soothing and epic music from American violist and composer Eyvind Kang.  "Innocent Eye, Crystal See" comes from the 2003 album "Virginal Coordinates," a beautiful collection of songs recorded live in Italy in 2000.  Listen carefully and you'll recognize Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, etc.) providing the vocals.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Eyvind Kang

I've still got a lot of work to do this afternoon, so gonna crack my fingers, get to work, and listen to some minimalist, experimental neo-classical world music from American composer and multi-instrumentalist Eyvind Kang.  Specializing in the viola, the artist has played with everyone from Mr. Bungle to Blonde Redhead.  New album "Riparian" is out next month.  Pre-order it here from Kou Records and listen to "Riparian A" below.

Daily Jam (Mike Patton Week) - I Am the Dead

I've been a Mike Patton devotee approaching almost 30 years now, oh he of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, and a hundred other projects fame.  So, this week, i figured i pick out seven different songs from projects either led by Patton or on which he guested to supply us a week's worth of Daily Jams.  First up is "I Am the Dead," a track from neo-classical composer and violist Eyvind Kang's 2004 album "Virginal Coordinates."  It's a somber and moving piece of music.  Check it out below.
