Integratron
My friend Victor found it. He thought its spicy mixture of religion, sci-fi, and music might maybe, just maybe, be worthy of the found attentions of the Fredösphere. Oh yes, oh yes: meet the Integratron, a plywood and fiberglass dome built by New Age Visionary George van Tassel in the desert near Santa Monica. His followers play music on crystal bowls, which you can hear on this NPR report from last week. Here's more, with pictures.
Meanwhile, tonight the Choral Union will host a Summer Sing. Jerry Blackstone will lead a read-through of the Fauré Requiem, apparently without the aid of any crystal bowls. I'll be there. You should too.
Umie the Umlaut says, "ask your doctor about the Fredösphere!"

It's at least 3 hours away from Santa Monica which is on the Pacific; it's at Giant Rock, which is north of Joshua Tree National Monument, or about 45 minute from Palm Springs.
(I was there a few times as a kid when my father flew practice take offs and landings in a small plane to and from Giant Rock Airport.)
Giant Rock and the Amargosa Opera House at Death Valley Junction are among the real cultural highlights of California Deserta.
