Sonic 7 from Morning Creations by Ken Moore
A single strike to the gong, and one can close one's eyes and imagine a light that goes with every sound. An image from the mind's eye to play out the events that transpire from hearing sounds that do not relate to everyday occurrences. Is that drumming you hear, or are you walking on the surface of a distant planet? Drugs are not recommended while listening to this piece. However, repeated listening may have drug-like influences on how you perceive yourself or this album. Use caution with your volume control, as some of the sounds here will put your speakers to the test.

Lyrics
I felt myself being engulfed in the splendor which surrounded me. I no longer felt a part of this world. I felt as if my mind had exploded. I felt as if every magnificent sight and sound in the world was now gathered right there inside my head. -Michael David Gilley ("The Lady of the Lights") excerpt from the book: "The Corruption of Denny McAllister" (1969)

Ken Moore has been using sound as music since 1975. This site began as a promotion for the Moore/Myers band, which released two albums in the 1980s. Now, Ken has expanded his talents to include percussion and abstract recordings from the Gong Room. With the addition of Short Story, ACS is creating even better adventurous sounds, more than ever before.
