El sexto sentido - Amado Nervo
Yo podía, único hombre sobre el haz de la tierra, ver mi futuro,
pero no acercarlo ni en el espesor de un cabello.

Psicodelia Terapéutica



Cecil Stokes (1910-1956) created what came to be known as Auroratone films. These were abstract mobile colored patterns that accompanied music. The color effects came from growing crystal formations photographed with polarized light. According to Birren, the tempo of pattern changes, controlled in a way known only to Stokes, was remarkably harmonized with the emotional qualities of the music. Stokes hopes for his sound-color medium were that with "slow sedative and mildly sad music," mentally ill souls "would ventilate their pent-up tensions resulting from conflicts and frustrations (Birren 1978, pp.49-50)."
