Rerelease of omnigod leitmotif


Recorded in the fateful month of may 2016 i was living at the hotel california of mid missouri the welcome inn one of those old indoor poolplexes.  I had recorded this using animoog and it was a breakthru for me to capture the use of the ipad as a musical instrument. I had that old familiar feeling i would get whilst performing sax. A feeling of being a filter for some outside force. I was a vessal for the higher power to speak thru.  The photo is of a bali indo mask taken at salvation army columbia the same month.  The title is homage to the god of gods. If there is multiverse then there are multiple gods but as always the menacing neccessity recursive to the one.  Within without om mani padme hum

"Imagine this very elaborate scientific lie: that sound cannot travel through outer space. Well, but suppose it can. Suppose They don't want us to know there is a medium there, what used to be called an 'aether,' which can carry sound to every part of the Earth. The Soniferous Aether. For millions of years, the sun has been roaring, a giant, furnace, 93 millionmile roar, so perfectly steady that generations of men have been born into it and passed out of it again, without ever hearing it. Unless it changed, how would anybody know? Except that at night now and then, in some part of the dark hemisphere, because of eddies in the Soniferous Aether, there will come to pass a very shallow pocket of no-sound. For a few seconds, in a particular place, nearly every night somewhere in the World, sound-energy from Outside is shut off. The roaring of the sun stops. For its brief life, the point of sound-shadow may come to rest a thousand feet above a desert, between floors in an empty office building, or exactly around a seated individual in a working-class restaurant where they hose the place out at 3 every morning…"
