"Perhaps this is a sure sign I've been reading MATRIXSYNTH too long... I had a synth dream!In my dream, I was involved in the making of a documentary on the significance of the Arp Odyssey to the San Francisco disco music scene of the 1970's.
There was a section of the dream that was about the importance of the PPC controllers on the Odyssey. Some guy had even modded his Arp Omni so that one of the pads on the PPC could control the filter cutoff. At this point, there was even a schematic.
Would the PPCs even work on an Omni? Who knows? It was a dream!
Later, I was at a party, in someone's kitchen. It was still the San Francisco disco scene of the 1970's. There were about 5 cats in the kitchen. More Matrix influence, clearly.
Calling Dr. Freud! Well, I made a dreamy image of a PPC w/ schematic for you too.
Cheers,
John"

What an interesting and involved dream. I sometimes dream about synthesizers too, though more about photography. They are always very detailed and realistic.
ReplyDeleteI have this re-occuring dream that I'm sitting in front of a synth I've never seen. It's usually filled with colored lights and many knobs and sliders. The sounds are like I've never heard before. Each time I play a key or move a knob a whole musical event with lights usually happens. This could be a good series. Synth Dreams!

ReplyDeleteStephen, click on the Synth Dreams label at the bottom of the post. It's a bit of a series but doesn't come up too often. I need to make a point of putting all of mine up. Why not. :)
