I started searching for the best essential oils after reading a book by Hermann Hesse called The Glass Bead Game; a game where a mathematician may lay a string of beads representing an equation, whereby a musician may lay a parallel string representing a Bach fugue. I designed The Game using circles, triangles, squares and other shapes with colors of the rainbow.

Playing The Game causes an evaluation of one's concepts of life, death, creation, destruction and Universal Principles that are ubiquitous in our world. Anything that can be measured, controlled and designed can benefit from this understanding. Patterns of harmony and dissonance continue beyond sound into color and even aroma!

In 1993, I formed the concept of Aromatic Omnivision, a harmonic synergy of sound, light and aroma capable of leading the mind through archetypal states of consciousness by tuning brainwave frequecies. The journey from The Glass Bead Game to Imani Essential Oils to Terrapin Station Soundstage has been an organic and heartfelt adventure.
