18Aug09 - Major changes are underway for the site. As can be seen it is no longer Kavenism.com. Kavenism came to be a millstone around the neck of any kind of development and therefore Kavenism in both its musical and non-musical form has now been permanently moth-balled. All the material relating to Kavenism music remains, but will not now be given center stage. Almost the entire back catalogue of Kavenism has been uploaded to the site and can be downloaded for each of the album pages. The exception to this is the majority of Experiments:Inhumanity which due to space constraints has only had five of its tracks uploaded, the rest were not much to write home about anyway.
Over the next few weeks and months the entire site will be redeveloped into a more user friendly version incorporating many of the changes and technological advances the web now has to offer.
The progress will most likely be slow but I am confident that the end product will be a site that will be worth visiting and will again be regularly updated with the work and thoughts of Xaven Taner.
The new domain name for the site, night of the world dot com, comes from a famous passage in Hegel’s philosophy:
(from the Realphilosophie manuscript of 1805–06)
The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters - This is Night of the World dot com
"The human being is this night, this empty nothing, that contains everything in its simplicity—an unending wealth of many presentations, images, of which none happens to occur to him—or which are not present. This night, the inner of nature, that exists here— pure self—in phantasmagorical presentations, is night all around it, here shoots a bloody head—there another white shape, suddenly here before it, and just so disappears. One catches sight of this night when one looks human beings in the eye—into a night that becomes awful, it suspends the night of the world here in an opposition. In this night being has returned."
