Haha, love this kind of stuff! Phantasmas 1-4? Sounds like an outrageously ambitious prog epic! I’ll venture a guess - an (as of yet) unfinished masterpiece of yours? 
It’s for the ambient sections of an album that has been in the works for a while, that an author and longtime friend will be adding some spoken word to. And I don’t know about epic, but it’s pretty damn immersive and creepy.

I use Google keep on my phone to take notes. Scribbling just in a different format I suppose. The ravings of a mad man! Can’t let any idea escape when it comes, right?

I use Notes on the iPhone for most things, but when going back and forth from a device pen and paper is just faster…

Notes for the win.
I used to do it all the time back in the day, then I got lazy and stopped doing it for years, then recently I started doing it again:
I use these little books, the exact same ones I used to use years ago:
I record a log of what I did each day, and also use them to make notes of settings etc.

Genuinely giving you thanks for this. As i plough through reporters notepads over the years. Since this year though its gone and no notes.
So a good reminder to once again…scribble away and get the grey matter onto paper.

Interesting thread.
I’ve never been a note-taker, but I’ve started putting together longer pieces for practicing live performing, like 30-40 minute sessions. There’s no way I could do it without notes, so have just joined the world of taking notes.
All its achieved so far is drawing my attention to the fact I haven’t hand written anything in a very long time.

Yes, but mine are even less organized scraps of paper or things appended to whatever note on my phone was open.

Yeah love graph paper too, great for planning stuff and using for drum or 303 patterns etc.

I enjoy making notes. I find that I do it more when I’m really focused on being productive. I like the various ways that people do their planning.
Rival Consoles visually sets out how he intends a song to play out. Just by looking at it you can get any idea what he plans to do.

I use a VST in nearly all my DAW tracks to add notes.
Can’t recall it’s name but very useful when opening a project that had been forgotten/unfinished…
