No title link until I have the time and skill Sealed has to mock these up. : ) So, in the
previous post I alluded to reoccurring synth dreams I have. I actually created a post on
the-gas-station a year or two ago on this, but I didn't save the URL (I'll see if I can dig it up). Anyway, label me obseesed, but I freqently have dreams about synths. Usually they revolve around two scenarios - one, I'm travelling in a city and I hit all the pawn shops; or two, I'm seeing a band play live, and somehow I have access to the stage so I walk around and check out the synths being played; yeah, right. Almost always the synths are imaginary versions of existing synths. Last night I had a dream that I was walking around U2's stage. They had another dedicated band member who played synths for them - he was like the Edge, but another guy and he was an actual member of the band, not a stage or tour musician. He had a four voice Polyevolver desktop that looked about the size of a Future Retro Revolution, but was blue and knob ladden like a Polyevolver keyboard, but different - not as many knobs. He also had an Oberheim OB12, but it was more like an Access Virus or Nord Lead in that the knobs and sliders did not take up the entire surface like a real OB12. The funny thing is this was probably the first case a synth in my dream was not as desirable as the real deal. The really funny thing about this dream was that I realised it was a dream, so I pulled out a Post-It pad and tried to write the synths down before I woke up, thinking that if I did the Post-It would be in my pocket when I woke up. : ) My favorite dream synth? A glossy red Roland SH-101 that looked like a sloped, curved Ferrari. Absolutely beautiful.
