about

These songs were written in a very long dream in Prague, June 2009. They sat in a book for two years and were revived and recorded in Chicago, June 2011. A special thanks goes out to Luke Gullickson, who convinced me to actually complete this album and release it!

Kong Must Dead is the Pseudonym of composer Ben Hjertmann. For his concert music, please visit www.hjertmann.com
