Mosquito type sound like a battery, like a charging, moving from a low frequency to a high frequency, very sort of pure tones. Definitely a synthesizer vibe, like sort of a 1970s Moog synthesizer. More of the lower to higher frequencies and multiple synth lines coming together. And breaking into a dissonant noise thing and coming back into a melodic thing.

Test. Feel like standardized testing. Hmm. Whoah. Like seriously out of whack oscillator twisting around itself going up and down very quickly and spiking.

More 1980s Blade Runner descending synth line. Sort of a dark sound. Really bizarre, really kind of movement in the synthesizers. They’re all very lowbit type sounds.

I see something over my head, something hovering. That’s blocking the light. Kind of flapping, so the light comes on and off. It’s bird’s wings, very big bird, very close to me. Big dark spot, moving. Hmm. What’s that? What’s that? Hmm. What is that? Slow motion bird flapping its wings. Right there? It’s torture. Closing the book. It’s all very dreamy, like slowed down animation.

I see the infinity symbol morphing into a Gordian knot.

Scribbles on a piece of paper or an electron cloud.

Jesus Christ on the cross.

An hourglass.

Some sort of insect that’s bifurcated with many legs and small black eyes.

Flaming scythe sort of moving in circles, creating the effect of a tornado viewed from above.

Some sort of cube with a star of David jutting out from its sides.

A galaxy viewed from far away slowly whirling around its center.

Visually I’m seeing an inverted pentagram, oddly.

The shape of a small metal bracket.

The word “grandiose” just popped into my head.

Chinese checkers.

The Swiss alps.

I see the shape of an “S” spline curve.

And in the noise I can make out distant Gregorian singing, massed singing.

I can sort of see shapes like re-entry, coming back from space, sort of contrails.

A thin melody like upper whistling.

The word “piecemeal”.

A long, non-repeating melody, sort of a long snaking pentatonic melody with no regular rhythm.

The noise is undulating. It’s like a wavering maybe. It’s hard to
speak because the sound of my voice is interrupting. There’s like a
white triangle. Waves. There are waves. They kind of pulse. One, two,
three, four, five. Waves of darkness that pulse in and out. They’re
really regular. They move into the circle, there’s like a circle at
the center. A circle of white and the blackness consumes it. It
disappears and it disappears and it disappears, disappears. A bit
slower. Disappears. Speeds up. It’s like these luminous rings and they
move away. Everything is slower. They dissolve. Now there’s just a
stillness.

Now, I think it’s a large room, like an aeroplane hangar. And in one corner there’s a man beating a drum, quite slowly, boom boom. I’m on the other side. Or the person is on the other side of the hangar and the idea is that someone sits on a trolley at the other end of the hangar and they are slowly wheeled toward the drummer at the other end of the hangar. Now the person is being pushed slowly towards them, but there’s now some kind of instrument, I don’t know what it is, some kind of stringed instrument coming from behind them, in the other corner. It’s some kind of really old instrument, kind of twangy sounds, the drum’s beating quite
slowly, boom boom, and this stringed instrument, I don’t know what it
is, but it’s receding, and the drum’s getting louder. The floor is
very cold. Cold coming up. It’s like the room is getting colder. The
drum’s getting louder, the string’s getting quieter, the room is
getting much, much colder. It’s like icy cold on the concrete floor.
And it’s getting brighter and lighter in the room as well. Now there’s
some more, there’s some music coming out of a speaker somewhere inside the trolley, like underneath the trolley. Quite nice keyboards,
pleasant, rhythmical, quite quiet. The sound is quite quiet, coming up
through the trolley. The drum’s getting louder still, quite close to
it now, the string instrument’s really quiet now, and the tinkling of
the piano keys. It’s still getting colder, it’s really shivery,
shivering cold. The drum’s getting faster now. And now.

The river darts. Little waterfalls. Roar of aurora borealis. These are the dangers of free association. I’ve gotta bring the attention back, keep my focus. I feel as if there’s a kind of roar of blood in your ears when you run to catch a bus or something, and that’s this roar except it’s a kind of peaceful
sound. It’s quite easy to screen out, of course it’s very complex but
you can just screen it out. Yeah, no, I just … [sighs]

And now I’m seeing a beach, I’m getting visual stimuli. That seems to be
working, but I am focusing in, but he signal must be quite brief if
it’s going to be tenuously transmitted to me. I’m going to go back to
my few notes on the keyboard, I can kind of see where the fingers are
and what they are doing, kind of three or four notes, but I can’t
actually do anything more with that. It’s a kind of suspenseful music,
so I could imagine it as part of a film where we’re supposed to pay
attention to what’s going on and its slightly frightening. I’m getting
weather extremes, that’s an obvious things. Beaches.

Love in darkness. Machine noise. Some speaking. Smoke. Whispering. A
derive around the city. Fresh fruit in your hand. A city that works,
functions. Sort of skipping in the pavement. Find the metros. Adverts
made up. Fresh sky. Turn into a bakery. Buy a baguette. Fresh bread.
Walk out again. Keep on walking until you reach … reach the end of
the road. Suddenly see a storm. At the center of it there’s a black
polygon. It’s kind of … what shape is it? Slowly moving. Out
towards the boundaries of the space.

DSM-III, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed.), published by the American Psychiatric Association, provides what it calls “Diagnostic Criteria for Schizotypal Personality Disorder”. Top of the list of eight criteria comes ‘magical thinking, e.g., superstitiousness, clairvoyance, telepathy, “6th sense”, “others can feel my feelings”’. This is ‘telepathy’ in one of its most highly determined forms. No need to have any uncertainty about the meaning of the word: belief in ‘telepathy’ is a definite symptom, a sure sign of the schizotypal.

The image that I’ve got in my mind is a simple one. An apple, a very
crunchy apple that’s been bitten and crunched.

Um. I think kind of a triangular shape. I don’t know if that’s musical, but I
guess a triangle is a musical instrument. So. A triangle.
