[ A Bleary Elapse ]
with certain details, I feel / you really cast off the old / and into the new / traveled in earnest / where dewdrops crumbled in the sky / and you smiled in uncertainty / brainwaves quivered softly / dancing still / till a flash of deja vu / armorous piano notes spilled out sternly / in the faraway place / I stood watching / on the park road / people kept on moving / till a moment of pivot / how do I traverse all spaces / with more spaces in between / unreachable, tempting / on that day when cars came and went / sunbeams through the leaves / young and harsh / electric drills and the dust, bus station and me / scrambling crowds / pushing everything out / this happiness in tumult / that came from a whisper / nowhere to find but the depth of a ghostly night / I must dive into the waterfall / a piece of danger in my history / in the foggy end / spent an hour facing my own eventual judgement / I've always curled up dry / and lived in humidity / frothing, bubbling up in steamy vapor / my fragrant body / inevitably entangled in water snakes / didn't know if we fought, or embraced / nevertheless, exhaustingly / thought I was still standing / perhaps this explained the gradual silence / low buzz coming from the weight of life / head to toe / passing through me / with no trace of tingles down my spine / and I fell / might it be that on the precipice the light went on / the supposedly unbearable voltage / brought me peace / might I be dead, or dying / looking above indomitably / uncertainly / laying down in silence / amongst the cracks of all calm facades / twirled the rumbling order / how long is now? / this endless vacation / my memory rolled, a bleary elapse.
a traditional, honest and detailed record, with a deep sense of introspection, self-critical and self-sympathetic, noted a piece of memory, and revealed some correlative aspects between both the development and establishment of some of my own consciousnesses and those memories.

"A Bleary Elapse", a neoclassical but irregular exploration, is full of exquisite phrases. Wandering electronic timbres combine with acoustic instruments, interweaving and flowing along, create the full dynamics. The introspection extends from words to music, like a lengthy letter without a certain addressee. No matter it is taken as a sincere presentation or a serious discussion, this album is a meaningful conversation to those who would prefer a calm while and would pay attention to the quietest sound. Eating Music intends to share such an opus without any other purpose with more people. In the music, we shall learn about each other better.

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest.
Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character. Tom Colquhoun
