Folks, just a heads up that I have begun work on a new website for miKroNaught, which is myself (Vir Unis) & MjDawn working together as producers and recording artists. We are currently working on production for Chicago based band, Camera. We also are working on loop libraries and have a new album album coming out this Spring. So, there is a lot going on and what better place to find out about this info than at a brand new website? More info coming soon....

Stand Still Like The Hummingbird Release date

I'm currently finishing up final artwork for the album. I've gone through some real changes in the artwork, which is really important to me in any release. This has what has been delaying the release date. With the holidaze, I've been sidetracked from finishing this. Now that the blur of the holidaze has passed, I will be finishing this and looking to release on Jan. 16th....After that, it's all Elf Machine for a while. Hummigbird was really a lot of work, but I'm hoping that will pay off.

New Maps of Hyperspace

Here's a great transcript of a talk given by Terence McKenna. Really wish I could have seen and heard one of his talks. He was a great speaker.

New Maps of Hyperspace

by Terence McKenna

A talk given at the invitation of Ruth and Arthur Young of the Berkeley Institute for the Study of Consciousness, 1984. (Included as written word because this edited transcription appears in print as part of his book The Archaic Revival—deoxy)

In James Joyce's Ulysses, Stephen Dedalus tells us, "History is… Continue

TERENCE MCKENNA VS. THE BLACK HOLE

I read this interview with Terence McKenna this morning. I was thinking about him, after watching 'Meet the Robinsons' with my son earlier this morning. It's a funny kids Disney movie, but it's about time travel and stuff, so it just kinda morphed into Terence in my mind....-:)

Anyway, him talking about eternal light ala William Blake, shining through plants and insects, was really moving, as he was facing his own inevitable death. Please read. Whether or not you like his stance and philosophy… Continue

Thank you so much for your Inspiration.

At 3:53am on May 23, 2009, Doc & Lena Selyanina said…: Hi, thanks for the welcome, we're honored to be here!

Like Peter below I (Doc) also want to tell that you have been a major influence and source of listening pleasure for me when I got seriously interested in ambient music. So a heartfelt thank you for all the great music and the associated inspiration you have provided, which later on grew even into an impulse to create some of our own ambient reflections.

with kind greetings from Helsinki, Finland

with warmth and creativity.

At 12:18pm on May 3, 2009, Orb Gettarr said…: So this cosmic ontological event that is supposed to take place during the winter solstice of 2012- some are viewing it as an evolutionary leap forward in human consciousness for those that are 'prepared' for it- just as there was an evolutionary leap in human development aeons ago that allowed us to develop our technological side. I would think this relates to an evolutionary leap in our direct connection with the 'other', or what Castaneda referred to as 'the nagual'- and therefore, our moral and ethical connection regarding the earth and our fellow creatures would automatically follow suit. (Just my opinion).

At 7:27pm on May 2, 2009, Orb Gettarr said…: So what do you think about McKenna's 2012 end-of-the-Mayan-calendar/ novelty theory?
