I love my Evolver, it's a fascinating little synth. I'm still exploring it's capabilities and feel like I'm only just scratching the surface of what it can do. I spent a pleasant afternoon mucking around with it whilst thinking about the project brief and the idea of the dreams flickering in the circuits. I used 2 presets, one to process an unconnected audio input and the other was a rhythmic sequence bubbling along. It's a bit rushed with the editing and mixing in order to meet the deadline.
