All students who have had dreams related to the Askani after the telekinetic earthquake on Friday night, please advise me of this in this post.

Furthermore, we are looking to archive any and all Askani songs and chants you may have witnessed during these dreams you experienced. Please consider helping us with this, to the utmost of your ability. These are the voices of a people who might go largely unheard and it is within your power to ensure that this is not so.

Here is exactly what we will do and how we will work - if you have suggestions to help better the process, by all means, let us know.

Appointments will be made with you in the recording studio and we will meet on an individual basis with each student who had Askani Dreams.

We will start by going over the memories you still retain of these dreams until we get down on paper and on track everything that can be remembered

Using a series of mundane mnemonics exercises, we will go over your memories again, to see what else can be brought back. Think meditative trances and the like.

Finally and only with your permission and if you are comfortable with this, the use of mild telepathy will come into play, to restore and literally live through the memories of your dreams, retrieving every single instant as perfectly as possible

Group sessions can be held afterwards, as the Askani were a clan culture and there is no doubt the music involved group singing as well.

Afterwards Nathan and I will go over all of his memories, and lay that down to track as well. Everything will be cleaned up and polished, keeping to the spirit and way the songs were created, as much as possible. Your participation in this process is welcome as well.

This will take... time. A lot of time.

So. Who wants in?

I do. :) It was a really interesting dream. I don't remember getting any sound, so I don't know how much help it'll be for the music, but I don't usually remember my dreams at all, so maybe there's more there than I know about.

Just cause you don't remember it doesn't mean it might not be in your head somewhere anyway. Especially if it's a memory fragment. I need to quiz some people more on this, but well, you're likely to go on the "telepathic nudging" list real fast. That ok with you?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, as long as whoever does it talks to the Professor first about what it's like inside my head. We did a little telepathic therapy right after the hurricane, before Doc MacTaggart took over, and apparently I have a really weird brain. Don't want to give anybody any headaches. :)

Duly noted! Will talk to Charles 'bout it! :D

Like I already said, I'm in, boss. Let me know how I can best help.

Appointment soon. Write down anyting that comes back to you starting now. Come in with the notes or tapes even, and we'll go over it all again as we schedule things.

Am a very greedy woman. I want it all. Just keep that in mind and we're set. ;)

I am in.

For helping play any music. EVEN with the demon cello. and transcribing the song I remember.

There were songs with overtones that'd suit a classical instrument better then?

And you're in. I want that nursery rhyme. Is it like a lullaby? Or a rhyme that children sing?

I dreamed, but I ain't sure any of what I saw would be useful for your project - it was just some sprogs playing hide and seek, no singing or anything. But if you want to know anything, then I'll tell - I remember all of it, clear as day. Then again, I usually do.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Eidetic memory? Oooh. C'mere you. You're onna list.

And like I said to Jamie, there might be stuff elsewhere in the memory that you just can't access normally. :)

[xp_daytripper]

Just for dreams, nothing else. And I'm pretty sure there wasn't much else to it - kids playing hide and seek, showing what happens when you get found. It was sad.

I'm in, absolutely. There was only one song in mine that I remember, and the telepathic stuff might be needed, 'cause I'm not a great singer, but I'll do what I can.

I didn't dream of songs...

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

But I dreamed their feelings.

And you'll need _somebody_ competent behind the mixing board.

I'm in.
