The Logo ૐ
The logo of Overtone Music Network is ૐ - OM - an ancient syllable from india which means: »Space will be open« or »Space, open!«. You can find it at the beginning of many Hindu texts as a holy exclamation to be called out at the start and the end of a reading of the Vedas or originally to any prayer or mantra. OM is an expression for the philosophy that every human being is it's own cosmos. Cosmos means that the universe is regarded as a well-ordered, harmonious whole in your heart and mind, also expressed in your own overtone and harmonic singing and chanting. Therefore we invite you to join the
Overtone
Music Network.
