Lotussongs Volume 1

Steve McLinn (Ojas) - Lotussongs Volume 1

Steve McLinn is a musician who created and released electronic music during the late 1970s to 1980s on several cassettes (which I found some of them at a library sale sometime ago). McLinn used the name "Ojas" on his albums. "Ojas" means the purest form of life energy. McLinn emphasised that his music is a vehicle for reaching meditiative states and for contemplating the beauty of art and life.

Lotussongs Volume 1 was recorded in two live sessions during May 1979. McLinn performed on synthesizers and sequencers (named the Ojas Synthesizer System) with Susan Colley Walker on harp. The harp and electronics work well together on the two tracks that are from the two live sessions.

McLinn lived in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma when he put out his cassettes. He still lives in Oklahoma City at the present where he is performing music, creating videos and doing other activities in the community. If you're further interested, you can visit his website to learn more about him.
