about

Yesterday evening something interesting happened to me; I wrote down a random string and used it as input for generating a number of seeds for my music. When I listened to it, I realized there were two themes that I felt were 'special'; they were beautiful to my ear. I wish I were able to compose one such theme, I said to myself. So I set myself in motion as if I was possessed by those musical ideas. I mixed the material into a piece made of four parts. When I finished, it was quite late in the night...


- I Seibu 『声部』means 'Voice'. I heard this voice and was captured by its serenity -- a serenity that does not comes from a human mind. A ghostly voice, perhaps? Two instruments play this Voice: bassoon and English horn. Tubolar bells signal the end of this piece. The theme is a representation of the pack in the hands of one of the two players.
- II Kwaidan 『怪談』 is an orchestration of the above 'Voice'. In addition to bassoon and English horn I have strings and double bass. Strings "play" the pack of cards "on the table".
- III Xenocronia plays the second Voice in a xenochrony of bassoon, English horn, and flute. This is the pack of cards in the hands of the opponent of the "Seibu player".
- IV Jazz is for piano, drums, and double bass. The simple piano line is made by composing the two voices together. Drums play the whole set of cards.

"Eidon put ook uit mathrock, minimal music, jazz, etnische muziek... Hij zou perfect passen als support van Gogo Penguin, Battles of Dijf Sanders en kan op termijn misschien wel een plaats veroveren op zowel Rock Werchter als Gent Jazz of Couleur Café. Benieuwd hoe hij dit live brengt"
