EIDON - THE K'UX OF THE BISCUIT

'The K'ux of the Biscuit'
by Eidon

Eidon explained:
"K'ux refers to the heart as the source of the 'vital spirit' of a thing, or that which gives it life. According to Coto’s dictionary, it is also believed to be the center of thought and imagination." (Popol Vuh: Sacred Book of the Quiché Maya People, by AJ Christenson)

"The Crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe." (Frank Zappa)


In an e-mail message, Eidon added:
“A short composition for jazz piano trio, “inverted” with the addition of Arabic percussion. The title is my way of asking the question, “Was Frank Zappa aware that the Mayan word ‘Ku'x’ has a meaning compatible with his use of it in the expression ‘The crux of the biscuit’?
