!!On the Way (Richard Hayman) "On the Way . . . " is available from the composer Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening label (P.O. Box 1956, 601 Broadway, Kingston, NY 12401-0900), it offers 54 minutes of bass-heavy ambience with sliding tones and gentle sound effects on top. "I wanted to create a sense of infinity," said Hayman, a composer from Pomona, N.Y. "I liken it to when you walk in a vast space like a cathedral, where there's no music and no sound but you feel the resonance and have an altered state of hearing. When I showed this and played the music at a medical conference for people who had near-death experiences, many came up and said: `That's it! I've never heard that expressed before.' " These sounds, as heard on Radigue's 1990 "Kyema" CD, are actually quite similar to Hayman's. Hayman said his near-death experience occurred in 1989, when he was hospitalized with cardiac arrhythmia. The following year, he began working on an installation in which visitors lie down in a small room where his experience is replicated with a soft, glowing tunnel of light and enveloping sound from multiple speakers. "Eventually, everyone will have that sensation, I hope, because it was a wonderful revelation," Hayman said. "There was a great sense of peace that I hope that these digital bits can give a small sense of."{br}{small}''(from Neil Strauss, ^http://www.deseretnews.com/article/493023/RIP-HAYMANS-ON-THE-WAY^----CREATES-SENSE-OF-INFINITY.html )''{/small} ---- {br}{br} [https://jeromejoy.org/files/articles/hayman/hayman1.jpg] {br}{br} [https://jeromejoy.org/files/articles/hayman/hayman2.jpg] {br}{br} {small}REFERENCES :{/small} * {small}http://www.lns.com/sc96/events/way.html {/small} * {small}http://www.sial.rmit.edu.au/Projects/File/On%20The%20Way.pdf {/small} {br}{br}{br}{br} ---- ----
