Fragments in a Dream

Multitrack recording is really an annexation of film editing. Listening to the first elaborate recordings like Dark Side, Abbey etc. is like watching a film, stitched together non-linearly. In other ways it is a faint echo of surrealism. All audio and visual productions are essentially surrealistic, in that they are a sequence of "cuts", like the fragments in a dream. As a musician, I sometime dream musical ideas, and they are usually 1 or 2-bar fragments.
