It's interesting that you mention this now because the other day I was laying down in bed, my brain must of been in an alpha state, I could hear music in my mind. I could hear really nice melodies but no beats and it was well structured musically which surprised me. It went on for about 5 minutes then stopped. but i was sort of not in control of it, but i obviously was somehow. I want to get into this state again...
So i know exactly what you mean Dag, I put it down to years of dedicated listening and appreciation for music in general. your brain can make those calculations and produce any kind of timbre or musical structure based on the information it has been fed through the years.

Similar things happen to me.
I wake up with a song in my head. And I sometimes feel I hard a song in my sleep that I have definately never heard before.
Also I get a lot of inspiration for poetry when I am trying to get to sleep. My brain is in a kinda half relaxed, half stimulated state. But that's when I ciompletely conscious. Not sleeping, as you were saying.
Do either of you think you might have sinesthesia, or am I just being silly thinking this?

I think it makes sense for this kinda thing to happen. Like when one drinks or takes drugs, the brain is stimulated, but inhibitions are removed. The brain never stops thinking and obviously there are going to be no inhibitions, per se, when unconscious, so I guess it makes sense to even be creative (or even more so) when asleep. The only thing is trying to remember the fuckers... :(

No, I would love to have sinesthesia! I probably don't really understand what it really means to have it, though I don't think scientists do, fully. Everyone has different types. My view toward it is a bit romanticised, probably.
Don't be silly- course you're not scizophrenic! :)

I love this kind of thing, and i often can recreate them from what i have experienced in a dream. I kind of trained myself to be able to sit up and out of bed right when i wake up (i do that by trying to oversleep my alarm clock when in snooze-mode, and then get out immediately before i turn up too late for something). This also causes me to get very tired in general, over the passed few years, which causes melodies to pretty much pop up everywhere i go. Usually a tune that pops up makes me feel all tingly and excited like when you're looking for this software to partition your harddrives of your newly bought super laptop, and you've search all over the internet and finally you get your hands on a free, fully working, super piece of partitioning software...
What helps for me: Buy a tiny keyboard, like a casio sk-1/sk-5, for doodling out these tunes, and simple just write down the keys, don't really need to write down the notes in perfect theoreticly correct musical language.

Its when your brain slips into Alpha/Theta state- basically more of your subconcious mind comes through, this happens to me on occasion i heard the sweetest beat the other night as i was dropping off, i mean the percussion sounds rather than the pattern - the kick was sort of hollowed out. Theanine (found in tea) is said to help induce the Alpha/Theta state...
I find it very interesting actually, I think all 'true' art is created from the subconcious (encoded) and that this is also where it is decoded. That's why you can't explain why you love a song - you just feel it.

When I think about it, Analords have a fantastical, lush and intimate feel that I would associate with sleep.

the strangest memory I have of hearing music was in the year 2000. it was cornwall, falmouth in the winter and I was sharing a house with my x girlfriend 2 friends a psychotic artist middle aged woman, and an eccentric schizoid who liked talking in some kind of old English dialect which no one could understand.
we took some acid and hit the streets, (that is my x and 2 friends) after much pissing around and feeling unusual followed by vigorous laughing and confusion we found ourselves trying to communicate with a sales clerk in a garage who only had 1 arm.
We got home and i remember needing to be alone, so i went into a room and lay down, i stared at the ceiling and the strangest thing happened, i heard the most clear glithy hardcore electronic music i have ever heard, and it kind of reverberated all around the room then vanished after a few seconds and i was so freaked out by it and intrigued at the same time. I then imagine a large elephant foot stamping onto the ground and as i closed my eyes to escape it, i could see green fields growing into the far distance and these pillars growing out of the ground and things shifting and changing.
the end

Wow, that's crazy, man. It's a shame that you didn't record the song by composing it, but I guess it would have stopped you enjoying the trip as much, having to concentrate on something.
Cool story.

sometimes i am working on a remix, and i get really frustrated and nothing is working. so i take a nap, and while i am dreaming, something says to me just put a bangin' donk on it, and then i wake up, do it, and it works like a charm!
