Is

About Me

Is extends back to late 2003, when an idea was conceived. Never realized
physically until mid 2005. Progress has been made. "Is" was and still remains
an idea generated from Bryan W. Tholl, utilizing electronic, organic, and cymatic
elements to create a discernment in both the perceiver and inducer.
