Large ensemble devoted to a breath process of orchestration.

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.
