I've never used Patreon before but supporting musicians and people who bring such light and joy to the world is my exact definition of what "patronage" should be, going back all the way to the Renaissance definition of the term, when leaders realized the value of culture, art, and music. I'm going to feel very good about my five bucks a month (edit: I guess I didn't know how much control you have with Patreon. Five bucks up to twice a month!

8:07 would also work with a source that you can't change the speed of, as long as there's two 'passing' each other. So playing something from Protools to the taperecorder, then playing it back with the tape starting slightly earlier, and then slowing the tape down, would cause one flange when the sounds pass each other. Just one, but it'd be a flange :D.
