About The Ears

I’m sure we all dream. At least that’s what science tells us. The difference is that some of us remember or know of our dreams more than others. I know that I don’t have many dreams that I ever wake up remembering. I do have one in a great long while, where I’ll wake up and be like WTF?!? Early this morning was such an occasion.

Somewhere in the early daybreak I became aware of a dream I was having. Let’s see if I can remember more than the gist of it now. First it involved a lot of people I know from school. I was on a trip. I don’t recall if I was on tour or on a vacation of some sort. I believe it was a mash up location of say Las Vegas and San Francisco. Possibly need to sprinkle in London too. Now, it involved people I haven’t seen in a while and some whom I’ve seen in the last few months. One character of the dream is a girl I was crushing on. To my knowledge she’s single and has no kids in real life. In the dream she’s now mom to three kids with a fourth on the way - not married. Very unlike the person I know. Odder still is that I was still crushin’ on her in the dream.

Mix that in with people who were hanging out together that I know wouldn’t hang out together. Add to that the fact that several of these people haven’t seen each in a couple of years. Of course they’re all commenting on how weird it all is that they’re all on some sort of trip and bumping into each other. Then when I feel like I’m about to get to the bottom of all the mishmash I of timely nature wake up. Resulting in a non-resolution. Argh!

Anyone good at interpreting stuff? Care to elaborate on what the hell that all meant?

While I’m being psychoanalyzed I’ll leave you with Edgar Gabriel’s Stringfusion. A group of talented players creating what I would call the next step beyond the direction of Take 5. At the very least it strikes me as being in that vein. There’s a very fluid feel going on here. Not mention a cool RMX style groove that opens the song. I’d say they’ve got a good fusion of modern recording techniques mixed with real humans playing.

I get the feeling this song would work well behind a commercial or a video of some sort. Maybe even as part of a montage in a movie, where there’s a lot of travel going on. Get my connection there? That dream I expounded on and the fact I was somewhere bumping into people I knew… How appropriate that the tune is called Mobile eh?

Can’t get enough of a fusion string instrumental? Then you need to explore more of Edgar’s catalog. Go now! May your days and dreams be an adventure and make sense.
