The idea behind the work emerged naturally from current life on its own, which brought much confusion filled with anxiety. What can help is making a sound with the thought in mind ahead of time? This rather flair for the new beginning, an allusion to reborn. The Latin name Nebula (themist) in many world traditions is often considered as the primary medium that existed before the creation of the world. Whereas, the fog in many traditions can be understood mentally, spiritually, and at other times associated with thoughts, contemplation.
The piece is 10 min in length, structurally controlled, but still evolving into a meditative atmosphere, written for one player who symbolizes the archetypal primacy who is looking for a dialogue with something new not yet experienced(records, electronics).
