Meditation in Blue -- new piece on You Tube

["Emile Tobenfeld (a.k.a Dr. T)" <emile@foryourhead.com>]

Hi folks,

"Meditation on Blue" (http://youtu.be/bmGZ5vWu8HE) is the simplest 
piece I have ever posted. One sequence, one filter, no music, and (to 
me, at least) a certain magic. It is one of those happy accidents 
that can bless the artist who is attentive enough to notice them. I 
was working on some material to use in my live mixing performances, 
and had made a six minute sequence of symmetrized video from two 
shots of trees over and reflected in water.

I often take these sequences make make variants of them for mixing by 
applying different filters to the entire sequence, and putting the 
versions that I like on the same DVD as the original for use in 
performance. When I do this, I am not attempting to make finished 
pieces.

In this case, one of the sequences particularly caught my eye. I 
looked closely at it, and decided that it was a complete piece in its 
own right and didn't even need a soundtrack.

You can watch it in silence or with any music that is expansive and 
not aggressive -- such as Indian Classical Music, Bach, or any kind 
of (relatively quiet) improvised music. Enjoy, and please let me know 
what you think of the pieces.
