CROSSTOWN + RAY BARBEE EXPLORATIONS IN SOUND AND MUSIC
“ I LOVE HOW GOOD MUSIC IS LIFE’S COMMON DENOMINATOR. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AGE , WHERE YOU’RE FROM OR WHAT LANGUAGE YOU SPEAK , EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND AND BE DEEPLY MOVED BY IT.” -RAY
THERE’S A SUSPICIOUS LOOKING DOME IN THE DESERT. IT IS THE ONLY ALL-WOOD, ACOUSTICALLY PERFECT SOUND CHAMBER IN THE U.S. BUILT BETWEEN 1954 AND 1978 BY GEORGE VAN TASSEL, AN AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER AND KEY LEADER IN THE UFO MOVEMENT WHO CLAIMED HE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS FROM ALIENS FROM VENUS TO CREATE “A HIGH-VOLTAGE ELECTROSTATIC GENERATOR THAT WOULD SUPPLY A BROAD RANGE OF FREQUENCIES TO RECHARGE THE HUMAN CELL STRUCTURE. A 38-FOOT HIGH, 50-FOOT DIAMETER STRUCTURE DESIGNED TO REFLECT AND FOCUS A RANGE OF FREQUENCIES USEFUL FOR THE REJUVENATION OF HUMAN BEINGS.
