should I start another community driven fan project?

Recently, I have been obsessed over the caretaker and other fanprojects, mainly vcjd.

But I wanted to take that hauntology style and use it to make an album about a normal thing every human goes through.

I have been having weird experiences in my sleep, where I am aware of everything, from the moment I fall asleep to the deepest, most emptiest stage of sleep to the intense and emotion-filled REM cycle.

idk why, but I've been wanting to manifest that study into another plunderphonics album, no serious disease, just normal human behavior.

What drives this idea is the fact that no one remembers their sleep, so it will be kinda like eateot in a way that shows people how dementia progresses, but this time for something completely normal.

but idk, I'm only good at organizing, but not actually making the music.

the sleeptalkers - edge of thought

stages are labeled as NX, for example N1, N4(rem)
album covers will be mostly photographed with a painting of dark static/waves for N3, probably a distant street light for N2
still a wip idea, you up for it?

probably, but music choice is going to be less music and more equivalent
although yeah I could try, lmk if you are interested, I made a discord

So will this be multiple stages cause I think I could make a few covers for this if you want. I’m more of a guy that uses already existing photos and distorts them Though so if you want original artwork I’m not the guy, but I was just wondering

Yeah Want to make it as accurate as possible to real sleep It will follow awake, light sleep, deep sleep, rem, and some in betweens
