A friend was bored at work today and wrote to tell me about a dream she
had. I thought it was quite interesting/funny, and even though it's not
necessarily directly on topic, I'm sure some of you might get a kick out of
it:

all at this club that reminded me of under the couch. the guy performing
was doing some "minimalist techno" and was in front of a computer screen
pushing the mouse around, etc. but the part i really wanted to tell you
about was the other instrument he had sitting next to his computer. it was
about the size of a beach ball (larger than a basketball), but it was
levitating over a platform, kind of like those large marble spheres that
roll around in the water (if you've ever seen those). but there wasn't any
water holding it up, it was just floating there. he would move his hand
over the ball, and it would start rolling and making different sounds. as
it started rolling faster, the beat sped up, and when he jerked his hand
back the other way, it was kind of like a scratch. but then, as the music
got really intense, i realized that the ball wasn't actually hard and
solid. it was soft and squishy,!
quoted 1 line kind of like a nerf ball. he started squeezing it in different places,

producing some kind of rhythmic distortion.

becoming the saviour of my high school against an attack by witches and
warlocks, having forks shoved into my eyes, and watching some one rape a
pig. but i thought you would want to hear about the minimalist techno.
