Mechanical Meditation by Opal Myth


5:24 minutes (8.53 MB)

This piece was originally a recoding of my step-mother and I ohming together. From there I took it into some software and started tweaking out the sounds and putting together what I consider to be a sort of mechanical walking meditation.

I added some choir to back us up and actually created some instruments out of the recording that we made by taking samples and slicing them with different effects.

The result is, well, something like a mechanical meditation.

When I think of all the years I have practiced meditation, it always amazes me that there is what amounts to a sort of "back door" into those realms. This back door is a healthy one, too, and one which can be carried with you even after the door has closed. This "back door" is Ayahuasca.
