global OM project

(click image to enlarge. print out, cut along dotted line, and fold to make a small book)

at the turn of the millennium, i tried to muster up interest in a global meditation in the form of a world-wide OM chant. i made this publicity flier before access to the internet was so ubiquitous. i still feel just as strongly about the power of sound to harmonize the world...anyone up for joining me in howling some good vibes at the moon for 5 minutes starting at 11:55pm on thursday, wherever you may be?

campaign to replace the dial-tone with OM

back in 1997, i produced an edition of letterpress posters reading "CENTER for the OBVIOUS CAMPAIGN to REPLACE the DIAL-TONE with OM". i guess one day i just picked up the phone, and started humming along with the dial tone, and all of a sudden, it turned into a sort of meditation. "replacing the dial-tone with OM" is really just requires a mental shift - it's a matter of perception.

later i learned that laurie anderson used to tune her violin to the dial tone - turns out that the dial tone is almost a perfect A 440. whereas, from what i can gather, the syllable OM is traditionally considered to be a C# (554.37 Hz).

since nearly all of the original posters have been sold or given away, i've decided to do an inexpensive reprinting in high-quality 11"x 17" color xerox on heavy stock, currently available at the PHILOSOPROP SHOP.
