  3. A motor, Ben. Everyone knows that Mr. Gysin preferred a motor, specifically a specially adapted Triumph Speed Twin 5T with a confined single Amal Type 6 carburettor to prevent the ignition sparks from setting fire to the dreammachine.
    Don't you watch the Discovery Channel? And why isn't my blog on the reading list?!

  4. A record player with variable speed does just fine in my book!

  5. Jaysus! Discovered. Back in Hokkaido we were lucky to have horse-drawn dreamachines.
