Abstract
A sonic impression from the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky, particularly as expressed in works like Composition #8, Yellow Accompaniment, In the Black Square, White Dot, etc, which, in a way brings the idea full circle. Kandinsky was also an accomplished musician and was totally absorbed by the relationships between music and painting. Being a synaesthete, he saw sound as color, and associated tone with timbre, hue with pitch, and saturation with the volume of sound.

often associated in the west with the concept of unity through duality, this Tibetan term is an abbreviation for ten-ching drelwar jungwa, a translation of the Sanskrit expression pratitya-samutpada which in turn has been interpreted variously as dependent arising or auspicious coincidence. either way, Michael Gibson rips it up on sax.
