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

Oh Gawd... Benzies. There was some 70's book?? that kept going on about these... and I know that my mother used to have an inhaler for nasal congestion that was taken off the market, because apparently kids were breaking the plastic container and ingesting the interior stick which contained that above ingredient. Tut tut. Im sure it's BAD FOR YOU. Now stoppitt :-) I *
