I had a very strange dream the other night. I dreamt that I was at work and I looked on a loan that just came in and realized that we were funding a loan for Jandek and John Fahey. The information on the loan said that they needed $800,000 for a house that they were going to burn down for a field recording to hear how fire sounds. It was very controversial and the news was covering it because people thought that it was pretentious, dangerous and wasteful.
About a half hour later, I saw Jandek and John Fahey being led in by my mother, who also works at the office. I say hi to my mom and she introduces them to me because she recognized him from a cd that I left in the car that she was confused about until she figured out it was mine.
Then they told us to wait and Jandek and Fahey come in with this insane instrument with two resonating type of silver gourds or something connected by a sitar like neck. They both played it at once and it was crazy. My dream ended there.
The really weird part about it is that my friend told me about an instrument that he saw in a cool music video and it looked exactly like the one in my dream but with different gourd-bodies. Here it is:
That blew my mind when I first saw that and recognized it even though I'd never seen it before. The action starts at about 2:49.
