Spirits Of The Temple Electric - Still Waters -

This is the third installment in this series and thanks to those who requested and then patiently waited for me to get around to it! ;-)

This series began as sort of an accident. While working on the synth patch and music I had run the audio through an oscilloscope to see what it looked like. I figured it would be good enough for the video portion so I taped it. As I was doing the final editing in Sony Vega Movie Studio it all sort of jumped to life and I noticed if I paused the playback many recognizable figures and shapes were appearing. I saw different faces and bodies (human/animal/alien/robotic/???), buildings, structures and cosmic landscapes etc . . . many with seemingly very iconic spiritual/religious overtones! I mused that by chance I had stumbled upon a way to view an alternative electronic dimension and the beings or spirits that live and rule there! ;-)

This version does the work for you so you don't have to hunt for the images. I captured almost 200 stills and maybe used about 100 of them. But, you can still go back to the original and find lots more! (by my estimate there are potentially around 12,000 unique images to be seen!)

I hope you enjoy this and thank you are taking the time to watch, rate and comment!

which Oscilloscope did you use

[JohnLRice]

@nin8302 The o'scope used was an Elenco S-1340. See my video Spirits Of The Temple Electric - Secrets Revealed for an explanation of how I created this series of videos.

Really nice John The O-scope pattern freezes are pretty cool.

Raunchy (overdriven) sounds sometimes create the most beautiful pictures. Did you get help from the Moon to compose this?

Like sitting at the psychiatrist and he is saying: what do you see in this picture?

Great performance.

Awesome video John, both sounds and visuals are super.

[Hopspop]

Wow! Really good - if you look at this long enough, you'll see something beautiful or frightening. Or both! Well done

Holy Shinto Shrine Batman!

You interrupted Radio Massacre International "Frozen North" for me to view this. Well worth the intrusion.

Nice John.
