Every once and awhile my high functioning autistic son Dylan and I make what I call 'Zen Music'. That is to say we turn on all my keyboards - my 3 VCO Synthesizers.com analog synthesizer, my Mellotron 4000, Fender Rhodes, a couple of my vintage Ensoniq samplers and the one Dylan likes best of all, my Alien Sonifier bent keyboard. I route them all into a vintage Sony MX12 Mixer and hit the Record button on my laptop. We then proceed to defer to our true natures (Dylan is ALWAYS in his true nature) and let Zen happen. We start recording and we don't stop until it stops. We capture this series of "happy accidents" as a completely live performance. We did this on the 10th of this month and we had so much fun, I decided to make a video to go with it. This video and music are for the open mind. The traveler who knows that it's about the journey in life, not the destination. Watch this with your stereo headphones on if you have them handy. . .turn the lights out even. Space out and stare at the screen. Listen for hidden sounds. See if you can journey beyond your normal attention span. Be Zen.
