I led a guided meditation in which we imagined tapping into universal energy that connects from the spheres, through us, and into the center of the Earth, and then we imagined being on stage as the music played the band and the coolest sound we could imagine came out. Each band member then described his aural vision, directing the others to create it. And this little sampling is Craig Myers’ vision, entitled ‘Birth Of The Universe.’ He described ambience wallowing from nothingness, and then mouthed out a rhythm that Todd could then interpret, helping to kick the thing into rock-ass gear. Nice work, Craig.”</p>http://pelanne.com/post/423263680http://pelanne.com/post/423263680Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:45:52 -0500<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9641036&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9641036&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9641036&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>State of the internet, via statistic assault.</p>http://pelanne.com/post/419862890http://pelanne.com/post/419862890Mon, 01 Mar 2010 08:46:56 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kykws2Hj8R1qzo4cbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>Partied Out</b></p>http://pelanne.com/post/418753067http://pelanne.com/post/418753067Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:13:45 -0500
