1:00 That music probably inspired Whitney to make Yantra some years later?

thanks so much for uploading these. i've wanted to see them for years, and despite the quality, they don't disappoint. the sound from their additive synthesis pendulum machine is unique, if this is anything to go by. and they had the ideological freedom, and the imagination not to have to produce transcriptions of classical works like sholpo ended up doing in russia.

brilliant!

@StookieBill There's a number five in the series as well, I've never seen that one.
