Artist Statement - 2001
Who Cares How Long You Sink is a group devoted to the slower aesthetic of musical movement. It is an attempt at making music move at a pace that closer represents the movement and growth of nature. Representing something like the moons travel across the night sky and/or a tree's sway in one area of that sky, rather than locomotion or some societal action. Most material is played during the musicians’ natural inhales or exhales and not to an external clock. Allowing everyone to move at their own pace through the material, becoming one layer in the stack of sound, motion and harmonic possibilities.

Artist Statement - 2007
The breath process becomes orchestration for the Ajemian's folk forms and vocal experiments.

Best local albums of 2007
Mercurial bassist Jason Ajemian has been known to turn in odd, idiosyncratic live performances—in fact, that’s arguably his calling card. So this ambitious masterwork was a surprise, a dreamy mélange of all the minimalist folk, jazz and creative music Ajemian plays in other settings. Recorded in a South Side church, this album feels unaccountably majestic.

Music has an awesome power that even in its laziness and tranquility; it exudes this awesome, life-affirming power. Stop me now, if I'm starting to sound like one of those TV spinsters, but it's the truth. Having heard a piece of music that is breathtaking, I immediately stop whatever it is that I'm doing and take note. I'm all ears. It's just me and the sounds coming out of those speakers. Jason Ajemian's new record is one such release. Compositions he pens are works of real beauty.
