Psychill / tripping music

[Twilight]

How can you trip on post-rock stuff or Gridlock? :shock:
It can both be quite heavy at times! Especially stuff from 65daysofStatic. I can't imagine how that can be relaxing. :lol:

Not that it's bad, I really like that stuff!

i personally dont really find music lets say, eg scary.. but i don't really listen to music just to relax either.. i want to be taken places by music, it's.. well it's art, it just encompasses and represents the whole gamut of human emotion and experience and i want to experience all of it. close eyes, float away, let the music take you wherever it goes, let the emotions come and go. observe the cinema in your mind. it's beautiful.

it's also about the sound.. complex timbres and textures. lsd really opens up your ears to that kind of stuff if you let it. it can totally open you up to new music. A lot of people into and who make experimental music have taken psychedelics, at least in my experience. psychedelics can give you a lot of insight into your senses and perceptions, and this can reflect in your creative practice.

i personally find shoegaze..post rock on lsd is like being wrapped in a soft, warm fuzzy quilt and so called heavy music like black metal can be amazing.. the overtones of the guitars start leaping out of the mix at you, the rhythmic patterns intertwining.. mmmm.. i love listening to noise on lsd. the synaesthesia.. the sound is like pop rocks (The candy) just bursting throughout my mouth with flavor.

If the music manages the cloud train effect of trance it will resonate with time dilation and capacity for free range collage I've learned taking psychedelics.

Once you rise, you're free from aesthetic values--music that is prepared for this mind creates a void, a vortex, surrounds it with texture...and then you can ride it. It's like a vessel going through a space. I too like to be taken places with music, I also like to be tested, to be challenged.

When trance is achieved what is presented cannot but be felt as perfect, not because of the music itself but because she leaves a trail to be followed. Then no matter the overtone or the speed or the distortion, or the complicated rhythm ebb, one will experience it as four dimensional and this is just fantastic--it calls for your childhood explorer instincts.

I think, if allowed it can happened with any trance music, no matter how fast or how distorted it might sound in the beggining...noise music, power electronics, drones, industrial, tribal, IDM, darkwave, ambient, ritual music, viking metal, grind core, glitch, apocalyptic folk, dubstep, space, break core sometimes all eject from the same grounds on the other side--they touch. I've seen time stop on 165 bpm full power psytrance.

take for instance: Steve Roach & Vir Unis - Born of Fire

or black rumanian metal: Negura Bunget - Cel Din Urma Vis

Is it me or do they both develop this deep organic dome where wind rests?
...for me is either chill or not enough holographics, can I space hearing it?

Absolutely, on psychedelics, even on cannabis it's amazing how much some music can be a potentiator for changing your sense of time and deeply intensifying the effects of the trip.. that's why you had the drumming hippies, they knew what they were doing Even sober the right music can send you into pretty crazy trances if you do it long enough. Another thing I like about some of that music you listed--noise, drones... ambient sound without beats--you aren't parsing longer chunks of (time-based) rhythms and notes. Freed from that your perception of time feels like it shrinks--you are perceiving microscopic changes in the depth and timbre of sound, one after the other, as close to the (changing) now as is possible. the sound becomes a poetry of motion and image and sensation. i <3 synaesthesia

okay gridlock maybe a bit heavy i agree.
Back in the days we used to listen to a lot of heavy stuff.
I remember sitting in a room with the lights out while on mushrooms listening to somatic responses.

When you want to relax i can reconmend Gobi desert by Monolake (soundscapes) .
Or Evan Marc & Steve Hillage Dreamtime submersible

a bit heavyier but also so very nice.
Secede - Vega Libre.

I know this isn't really music with much "depth" but I just love the artist as a person, and although I'm guessing most of you will NOT like the music at all,

the video just made me really happy.
haha. and MIKA has quite a singing range!

as a teenage girl I guess I'm allowed to like it :]

not so much trip music
but...nice visuals and colors!

samples of the new shpongle album:

http://www.twistedmusic.com/

Well here it is, the one we have all been waiting for.
After three groundbreaking albums over the course of a decade, the internationally acclaimed electronica project Shpongle has returned from what fans feared was the end of the project when ‘Nothing Lasts…but Nothing is Lost’, their third album, was released. Not prepared to leave us hanging, electronic music pioneers Simon Posford and Raja Ram have continued to push the envelope and break even more boundaries to create yet another sonic masterpiece: the much-awaited fourth Shpongle album, ‘Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland’.

There are languages here that Shpongle fans will know and love as much as their previous work, and yet there are some massive leaps forward in terms of production techniques, sonic trickery, structure, and direction compared to all of the previous outings to date. With influences drawn from anywhere from Steve Reich and Mike Oldfield to the Batman movies and beyond, this really is another ‘over the top’ record in terms of production skills, tonal textures, and original ideas from Shpongle. It is rich in detail and emotion, in worldly and otherworldly samples and inspiration, and in harmonic and melodic construction.

I am listening to those sampels of the new Shpongle album. From listening it seems like they didn't change there style, it's more of the same slick sound. I think Shpongle fans will love this.

Too bad Dubstep already moved into the phase where everything becomes a copy of a copy of a copy...

 

[Jeniger]

Yes that can be, im not so familair with/into the whole dubstep genre. Its mostly the case with certain music made by certain synths it all sounds allike)(moslty massive-vst bass in this case)

Machine Elve - Persistent Aura

Nitz-ho-Goa! 8) :rock:

 

[magickmumu]

A copy of a copy of a copy, yes that can happen. I have seen it happen in every musical genre, and it happens very fast once it happens.

When people start copying music, it's usually time to move and stick to the old school stuff.

Last Saturday I was at a squad party in Rotterdam. I was handed a flyer for another party in Den haag. The flyer actually was a death notice for the breakcore genre so it seemed.

[Jeniger]

yes, i saw it too... was nice concept...

I was thinking maybe to pass by that evening... how are the ketacore party's?

 

[magickmumu]

Ketacore party's can be all right if you like hard electronics.
Caplock ussually does a nice live set.
They play hard and noisy electronics, so be warned.
:wink:

Yes, but its also the essence of it ...init.
Look at metal and rock, same sounds....
but anyway that song....was it yours?

 

[Jeniger]

yes, i can agree on both sides of the story. There are always people looking for fresh/original stuff and on the other hand people to stay true with the original concept, both fine 8)

No was not my track, but i am more and more atracted with this "old style" stuff and actually going to give it a try,.. should be more easy too , i really love those endless solo/melodies.

 

[chimp_masta_flex]

The french band 'air' are fantastic to trip to, or even to just listen to, its just so relaxing and interesting...

 

[Jeniger]

Afther a handfull of spins and dissapointment, i am actually starting to dig the new sphongle record, its out there!

[Jeniger]

not too well? in wich sense? Not able to effort fancy elite goa parties ? But yes, when the time is there and u can buy it,..when u wil surf that vibe the next few years, spend a bit and enjoy that extra bands of frequency and support the artists
