Dreams are puzzles made of square pieces. All of them fit no matter what they are about. A dream can never be considered wrong or right because it doesn't happen according to these existential principles. It is nothing, but what the mind is freely improvising while consciousness is resting.
Reality and fantasy merge into uncontrollable scenarios for reasons still unknown to us. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations we wish were the reality upon wakening and other times we have disturbing nightmares. However, the way the narrative evolves makes fascination stronger than the sense of coherence.
Various studies on dreams tell that we never dream of a face we've never seen. It may be the face of someone we've only seen once or a blend of features from different people. To me, the human face is the one thing that can undoubtedly arouse instant empathy. It is not surprising that we first recognize someone's face, but it may take several minutes to remember their name.
Dreams are constructed on shortcuts. Memories stored during your whole lifetime get to chance to go wild and group into into new realities as quick as possible. I guess we forget what we dream of, because we wouldn't be able to handle the verisimilitude of a fantasy better than life. Neither the false recall of a friend betraying us. Probably the speed at which events take place while dreaming makes them different from imagination and concentrated rather on the feeling than the realistic aspects.
Bauteile (German for construction parts) is a 70 minutes long track with more plot twists than a conventional EP/LP release. It is a string of music development recorded between 1987 and 2013 by AtomTM (Uwe Schmidt) and Marc Behrens. The two reassembled this vast collection into a contemporary soundscape, making Bauteile a pocket guide for almost three decades of music evolution.
The quickly occurring sequence of sounds is a compression of melodic memories decisively meant to seem randomly picked.
