A contribution by torressalinas4

It is impossible to separate the poetic from the historical, the aesthetic from the ideological. Any entity can be taken as an emblem of Being, one must be attentive to the symbolic power and semiotic valences of every word, object, slider and sound generator. This composite generator is an attempt to sketch out the role of the sound in Zen-inspired Japanese gardens and, consequently, to offer a new interpretation of one of the most famous gardens in the world, Ryoanji. The garden at Ryoanji is obviously without fixed essential nature. Reactions people have had to the garden shows that the garden has and impermanent nature and for precisely that reason, it deserves to be called a Zen garden.

●  Have you ever heard of Alan Watts? He was a fantastic Zen/Buddha/Christian teacher or Philosopher. You can find some of his lectures on Youtube. Or a Google search- then videos. Good one! Good work!

Create Your Own

Use a laptop or desktop computer, as you will be asked to use keyboard shortcuts.

To create your custom composite generator, browse the site for slider contents: open any generator on myNoise, and select the sliders you want to use in your custom set by 'zeroing' all others, then hit [c] to collect all active sliders into a hidden stack. Move to a next generator and repeat the process until you have accumulated 10 sliders. Now hit [shift+c] to render your custom composite generator. At any point, press [x+c] to clear the hidden stack.
