The weblog of Vlad Spears: musician, science fiction hero, Max/MSP/Jitter gangsta, Daevl incarnate. Currently engaged in fast action on slow sculpture, I have an ongoing love affair with animism as an approach to creativity and an affinity for all things automata, gridded or digital.

Buddha Listens To oM At Dusk And Dawn.

Giorgio Sancristoforo, the mad scientist behind gleetchLAB, has embraced his inner mandala and released oM, a generative player of ambient music.

øM surrounds you with an endless wash of seamlessly evolving sound. It’s perfect for, as Giorgio says on the site, “Meditation, Reiki or Yoga as well as everybody interested in self generated ambient music.”

It’s also great for writing, sleeping, reading, drawing.  It’s a masterful composition of floating-through-space automata.  The sustained tones and wildlife ambiances create a very nice cocoon for these activities, a little pocket universe containing only you, your focus and øM.

I’m piping it through the whole house, and I’ve just moved from day to night: synthetic sunbirds were whirling from room to room and now I’m encircled by a darktime orchestra of nano-crickets.  I love it.
