Mist Blue from EveryWhen by Eidon

Mist Blue -- basically a bass improvisation played atop a hybrid generative composition. The bass lines I mixed in here made me think of Frank Zappa's quote in which he talks of time as a circular space in which everything takes place together. I had recorded five improvisations and at each time 𝑡 I selected up to three events occurring on those five impros. When I listened to result, I realized that I was experiencing an illusion: A linear progression of events that had been recorded in totally different times were now put together creating unintended interplays -- unintended Whole(𝑡) that emerged and evolved non-purposely. The illusion had become a tangible reality, in a sense. And that made me wonder whether that now tangible reality was a way to capture, or at least exemplify, what Frank Zappa had said...

Dish with Reeds and Mist, c. 1700. Japan, Edo period (1615-1868). Porcelain with underglaze blue and overglaze color enamel (Hizen ware, Nabeshima type); diameter: 20.1 cm (7 15/16 in.); overall: 5.6 cm (2 3/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Severance and Greta Millikin Collection 1964.271

The interior of this dish features clusters of reeds emerging from mist. The gradation of blue wash in the background suggests that the scene is set by still waters, perhaps the banks of a river or edge of a marsh. The celadon, or pale green glaze, evocative of mist or fog, contrasts visually with the reeds and water.
