That's what crawling into your brain is.  I don't think we really have
differeing views on this and I think I'm dangerously close to telling you
how to conceptualize which is not my point, but since danger is my middle
name what the heck.

Watching the film is a good start.  If you connect with it and incorporate
it into your own experience then you are creating your own truth about
what it is.  If you have that with you when you make the music then, in my
opinion, the source material is irrelevant.  Music is qualitative, it's
what you do with the sounds, not what the sounds are.  I could take one 2
second sample of someone belching and turn it into a "city of the future".

as usual please consume this with a grain of salt
