For all those of you that are unfamiliar with the dreammachine,
it is a cylinder, with precisely placed cut outs, on the cylinder
that spin on a motor (or an old turntable, at 45rpm)
with a light in the middle.
The desired effect is to listen to music,
and sit in front of it , with your eyes closed,
it then taps into the alpha waves of your brain,
causing visuals. There are lots of websites out there
listed after the video. The inventor was Brion Gysin,
a beat poet, and mystic experimenter,
also a very interesting fellow,
his automatic paintings are also worth a look.
here are some interesting links:
