Any of you ever gone to sleep after making music and had weird-ass dreams? Like, I was a oscillator and I wanted to make friends but all the phasor~s hated me. I don't remember what happened, exactly, and none of it made much sense. Also I made some patch out of whale meat and bobby pins in this dream, and it played bicycle spoke-sounding music. I awoke tres confuse.

Haha that sounds amazing. I've had weird dreams like that when I've been playing with one specific thing for too long... it mostly happens with things like Tetris though.

I haven't had dreams related to PD, but one night over the past summer I couldn't sleep because I was analyzing the sound coming from my ceiling fan. It was odd... I hear two main pitches; one was a fifth higher than the other. The higher pitch sounded as if its amplitude was being modulated by a sine wave LFO, and the LFO's frequency was being modulated by another oscillator.

I actually don't really remember what I was hearing; it was a few months ago. It was really annoying though because it was keeping me from falling asleep. The next morning I tried recreating the sound with a little PD patch. I'd attach it right here, but it seems like we aren't allowed to post attachments in the off topic board. Oh well, the patch is pretty simple and boring anyway. I just recreated the humming sound of the fan. I should have tried to synthesize its rattling, too.

ha ha. classic!

last year i got really stuck on a granular project i was working on, and finally figured out what to do by fixing the patch in a dream.

I once had a dream I was being raped by badgers OH MY GOD WHO ARE YOU!?!?

Pd is as beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella.
