The Transparent Hypnotist

The above piece is by Dean Shostak. It is said that he was inspired by Mesmer to write this beautiful, hypnotic piece. The instrument is a glass armonica, which was invented by Ben Franklin.

Why are we featuring this on an Esoteric Saturday? Why, it is a Mesmer sort of thing (OF COURSE!). Not just a scientist or healer of his day, he was a musician and the glass armonica was his instrument. He was noted for play it during his animal magnetism sessions. After enjoying the piece above, one can see how it could only add to the overall results Mesmer received.

If you feel like playing around with it, but do not have access, never fear. There is a wonderful online version you can play with to your heart’s content. Visit it by clicking here.
