I am a musician/music lover of 14 years and music has been the biggest, most fulfilling thing in my life during that time. I thought it only fitting that my first post on this board be about music's relationship with my DMT journeys.

I'll try to keep this as to the point as I can as I know I'm new and need to pay my dues, it will be hard though as I can see myself getting carried away.

I choose my music very carefully before going into a DMT flight. I take into consideration my mood, the mood of the song and the nature of which I wish my trip to be. I do this because I know that everything I see in that world will be propelled, manipulated and, yes, even fabricated by what I'm listening to. It must be something I'm very familiar with and must have vocals as it will act as an anchor to reality. This keeps me from drifting into a potentially intimidating environment that I once went to while listening to something very abstract without vocals on a heroic dose of DMT.

For my first several experiences I chose The Postal Service. If you're unfamiliar with their work I strongly suggest you check them out and do a DMT flight listening to any of their songs. It's kind of like this really texturized electro-pop record with indie rock sensabilities. While on the spice, the geometric entities and endless coloured patterns seemed to dance with the music so perfectly and beautifully that it was impossible to seperate what I was hearing from what I was seeing. It was, at the time, the most beautiful thing I had ever witnessed. Little did I know, I had just scratched the surface of what music can do with DMT.

The particular experience I want to share took place two weeks ago. I decided I wanted to step away from the laid back comfort zone of The Postal Service and step into more challenging territory. I chose the happiest most upbeat song I could think of. "Monkeys" by The Mad Caddies. Boy was I ever in for something.

In order to properly understand the mood of this trip you need to hear this song. (I'll post a couple links at the end.) It's a ska/dixieland jazz song that made for the most joyous amazing experience ever. There were entities dancing in an animated beautiful hyperspace environment, beckoning me to join them as I sat on my couch in amazement. The bridge of the song is this slow, saucy spirit fingers dance bit and during this part the entities were dancing in a circle passing in front of my face smiling so big I could see into their soul. They danced closer and closer to me until, I swear on my life, one of them kissed me on the cheek! I literally felt it! This only set the stage for what was to come. The next song on the record "Econoline" is a fast paced punk rock/ska song that I went into with a rapid heart rate from the previous song and for the entire song I felt as if I was on a roller coaster. Brightly coloured patterns and shapes racing by me in tandem with what I was hearing. I bit my lip and let it take me. I came out of the trip with tears in my eyes and heavy breathing. I had fallen in love all over again. Words can't describe the excitement and joy that I felt.

Thank you for reading this, I know I got a little carried away. I can't help myself. Music and DMT and my two favourite conversation topics and when the two unite, well, let's just say I get carried away. I could've went much deeper but I'm reading over this and I'm thinking people may not want to read it when they see how long it is. I hope that's not the case.

Here are some links if your curious about what I was hearing and/or want to try these songs for your own flights.

I have been going on my journeys through hyperspace with music as well. The weird thing though is after a failed attempt to breakthrough with the spice a couple days ago I decided to whip up a batch of cubensis tea. Well holy nuts! I put my collection of classic rock into my Ipod and put on my Big stereo headphones. About 20 minutes in I started to see dmt-land coming into my vision. I remember thinking, that's weird this isn't mushroom-land... At that moment the mushrooms Blasted me off into hyperspace and I was able to stay there for about 10 hours. (I also had eaten a lot of dark chocolate with 90% cacao content as I find it helps to lengthen and strengthen my trip) Every song I listened to though was what I was seeing, I was seeing the music and hearing it as well as feeling it at the same time. I have never had such an amazing experience yet and its all thanks to some classics from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and The Doors. If I took the headphones off everything lost its intensity, when I put them back on BAMM!... back to the crazy visions. I was tripping balls until approximately 45 minutes ago.

Taking shrooms after DMT, rather than taking DMT while on shrooms, interesting...

Yeah, I was planning on hitting the spice while on shrooms but it was already a pretty intense and awesome ride, not one thought or feeling of negativity or sign of a bad trip. I was in the dmt visuals(full open eye visuals for about 10 hours) mode with the happy euphoric mushrooms feeling. I do plan on hitting the spice pretty soon though while on shrooms, I hear a lot of good reports on it. I had taken dmt 2 days prior to eating the shrooms last night. I didn't break through though, I didn't put enough in the pipe and ran out after 2 hits and was too disoriented to reload fast enough. I think the reason I hit dmt hyperspace on just shrooms though, is because of taking the dmt 2 days prior. I've heard that it does that to some people. I cant wait to try the mush/spice mix next week sometime though, should be pretty amazing.

I always have music when I smoke or drink ayahuasca, even if it is just light tonal sounds and rythms..
I have never smoked before mushrooms, but often I smoke a big hit before I drink ayahuasca..I will drink my dose right after I come out of hyperspace..it can be relaly nice that way..

Welcome to the nexus!

On Halloween I took 2 tabs of acid, and I was out all day, just waiting to get home later so I could smoke some spice on the while the acid was still kicking. I get home, and it was like 3:30 a.m. One of my friends come over and we started to listen to music. I whipped out the GVG, loaded it up and let it rip. With my eyes closed, I could see thousands of fractals comprising what seemed to be an ancient underground temple. The fractals danced back and forth, synchronizing with the music, when the music of the song stopped, all the patterns' motion (and existence quickly thereafter) stopped on the dime. It was like when the music stopped, the patterns fell motionless, went from 4D to 2D and faded from the light within a second.

Another interesting experience I had was listening to 528 Hz which caused my loose and slack fractals to snap into an excited configuration, and when the tone stopped, the patterns fell slack again. The interesting thing was that after the experience, when I looked at the cymatic representation of 528 Hz, it looked exactly like what my fractals had shown me it looked like. That was a mind blowing revelation: that I was capable of seeing that sacred frequency with my mind's eye and the assistance of DMT and without the aid of technology in some shape or form.

And where exactly did you reference the visual representation of that individual frequency?

Music with LSD always propelled the CEVS for me in a synesthetic sense-absolutely delightful and seemed to follow a pretty linear dose-reponse curve upto 300mcg.I never tripped beyond this dose on LSD and I found that the beauty was indescibable especially when tripping alone and allowing myself to just ride the 'crest' of the trip.

DMT for me is great for its effect on the CEVS but only in a fairly narrow window-if I consumed upwards of 35mg FB in a single breath then music becomes an utterly alien and disconcerting phenomenon which serves to distract from where the trip naturally wants to go.

I know changa spliffs are wasteful in terms of the amount of DMT used but it certainly is visually very pleasant and the rate of toking can allow one to allow the visuals to dance for my entertainment.
