I have discovered the ultimate "IDM".
Benzodiazepines - sort of a combination anti-anxiety and tranquilizer
psychopharmacological concoction - create a very interesting mind state.
Imagine the effects of alcohol without the sensory deprivation that
normally occurs.
When you are the only person awake the sounds around disseminate into a
wash of mechanical subtleties which you interact with by whichever means
you choose. Currently I am typing on the keyboard of my laptop producing
an oddly rhythmic accompaniment to the drone of the boilers downstairs
and the A/C by the window. My roommate is snoring in duet with the
fridge. All of this together, amplified by heightened sensitivity due to
sleep-dep and my techno-addict mindset, is absolutely amazing.
Contrivances of musical structure begone - anybody who pays money for
found sound recordings needs to wake up and hear the music, so to speak.
(hey, if people can talk about weed as a musical expense on this list, I
can ramble on about this, can't I?)
Relate similar experiences, chemically aided or otherwise. Interesting
interesting interesTING!
Calm...
Tom
