A dreamy mix.
A writer once dreamed an entire poem, word for word, line for line. When he awoke, he remembered all of it and furiously began copying it down on paper. He transcribed the words perfectly and was on the last stanza when his wife came in and asked what he wanted for breakfast. His train of thought broken, the writer lost that last stanza from the dream. Everything else was remembered perfectly and trying to write a stanza anew would obviously have affected the poem, so he published the poem incomplete. It's still an amazing poem.
Sunday morning, I awoke from an interesting dream of my own at Tony's cottage in Maine. I dreamt I was with my SU floormates (Mike, Kelly, Jenn, and Alyssa and maybe others) at a concert. DJ Z-Trip was spinning and I was trying to enjoy his set at the same time I was trying to explain to my friends how he was mixing all of that live. I heard some of his usual mixes, like "Iko Iko," all within the dream.
But then all of a sudden, Z-Trip scratched the intro to Orbital's "Halcyon + On + On" and let it play by itself. This was surprising because it defies Z-Trip's typical genre of music. So I told everyone to shut up and listen closely to what would come next. Some beats from Plump DJs' remix of Argonauts' "Bumper" emerged, in sync with the haunting piano-based intro to Orbital's classic club anthem, and I was blown away. I was dreaming my own original mix.
I woke up and instantly wrote down the two songs. I've started mixing them already and it sounds, well, dreamy. And cool. Reminiscient of DJ Tiesto, the man behind the "In Search Of Sunrise" mix series. Expect to hear it on Mixology 303 (when it comes out). Think about how cool it would be to dream an entire mix CD.
