“I am forever grateful for the most life changing ten minute experience of my life. It changed everything for the better. I would like to contribute in some manner and am exploring what that means” – the story of an intense DMT trip.
Auroratone films were produced by the Auroratone Foundation of America Inc. in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The films showed crystal-like abstract color patterns that changed and blended with each other. The patterns were produced by using crystallizing chemicals and polarized light, which were then synchronized to a variety of recorded musical tracks. The process was developed by English psychologist and scientist Cecil Stokes, who was the founder and technical director of the company. Stokes was issued patent 2292172 on August 4, 1942, for “Process and Apparatus for Producing Musical Rhythm in Color”.
The films were combined into a thirty-minute-long color movie entitled Music In Color. The first films were presented to the public in 1940 in San Diego and were then shown at various theaters in the United States and Canada.
Nice evocative, surreal video for a track from the album Echoes (2016) by Jasmin Even.
Incredible how AI animation has changed everything and mesmerizing videos are now possible to make easily using freely available tools. The world will never be the same .
Through a combination of spoken word, sound and visual synthesis, and remixing, the performance tracks science fictional word play and formal experiment from texts to the sonic innovations of films. Some literary and film history, some theory, and some original fictive elements will converge with new soundscapes and alien broadcasts. My work with live sonic psychotechnologies exploits the entwined nature of psychic and cinematic apparatuses while drawing on science fiction’s capacity for cognitive estrangement – literally taking us out of our minds. As a work of science fiction in its own right, the performance shifts the emphasis on the “new” in science fiction from history, utopia/dystopia, and analogy toward other states of consciousness and new modes of being in the world. The goal of this exploration of inner/outer space is to document the patterns of sonic and material hybridization that characterize the language and other sonorous objects of science fiction.

AI lacks human sensory perception, yet when combined with human creativity, it offers revolutionary art possibilities. While humans add emotional depth, AI brings novel patterns and complexities. This collaboration can produce resonant artworks that challenge artistic norms.
