True Silk 03:55
Youre walking through the door But you're so confused Because she loves to be with you But u cant take this dream with you Hey you, dont look so down Wrapped in silk and smoke With the tears of a clown When love is gone, love is gone In those dreams in your bed Dont let them get in your head Cos if u havent noticed, youre not so alone When youre wrapped in true silk You got to do it the right way If you want love to stay You got to do her the right way Cos when love is gone Love is gone Oh she looks so good, Yes its true But she could never be with you Because a ghost cant make love with you Hey man, dont be so sad Love chokes you up and always makes you mad And if youre looking for someone to love It better be you If she's closer to you When she takes u to her bed Dont let it get to your head Cos if u havent noticed youre not so alone When youre wrapped in true silk

On my tv screen hi hi in the middle of my dream i cry im not sure what it means to live and die and not hear the horns play all day and night Why cant you be With only me In my computer screen You lie Dream a little dream you lie its not quite what it seems to live and die and not feel your hand for all my life why cant you be with only me with only me...

Old Blue 02:57
You're looking through you coat for a letter that she wrote just to touch it with your hand and walk through New Amsterdam. Bright lights, and time with you we share, if the eyes are true. Goodbye old blue raincoat goodbye all that you're made of goodbye to what was you just look, don't cry, its all in you.

about

KC-001

Liner notes to listeners, plants, and all creation...

Recorded through fall and winter at the transient Kowloon Corporate headquarters, with a yamaha 4 track and a computer. Tricolor Jade (or Crassula Ovata) is plant native to Mozambique. This album began as an instrumental album to play for plants. But evolved to tell a history, an imaginary story of family lost in the electromagnetic waves and displaced through circumstance, scattered in the winds the idea grew to be an image of people in synthesis. This album is an exploration of the invisible musical collaboration of invisible people. This album is about a quiet rainfall in Kowloon 50 years ago. Tricolor jade in its simplest form is an exploration of misunderstood pop traditions and all its predecessors... From east to west and back again.

As i contemplate gratitude, I give my eternal thanks to the mother of creation, for giving me any time at all. I give thanks to my grandfather for giving me spiritual permission to use his calligraphy. I give thanks to my mother, for her garden, and her peaceful and loving heart. I give thanks to my father, for his passion, and showing me so much of the music i cherish. Without a lifetime listening to his songs none of this would be. I give my love eternal and human thanks to my co-criminals Heather, Keith KMFD Devries, Reid, Courtney, Richie, OLIVIA II and so many endless names of lovers and haters the world round. For without the music of their thoughts none of this album would be.

I also want to give special thanks to Juan Ferdandez and his endless labor for others.

Forever
