Hmmm... my friend has done medium, sub-blastoff doses (think definite immersive CEVs that are still clearly not hyperspace) with Adam Lambert and it reportedly worked great. The music sped up and slowed down in a flanging effect that seemed to depend on what he was doing with his attention, and perhaps also with the cycle of the breath.

Maybe he'll try with Lady Gaga and report back. Perhaps a medium dose eyes-open DMT trip is the only way to understand the Telephone music video... The only problem is that it seems a bit wasteful to use spice for the trivial purpose of having an enjoyable sensory experience. Maybe he should get his hands on a RIMA and do some variety of -huasca and watch music videos for fun only at the beginning of the experience. Then he can bump the dose up and have a serious insight experience for the remainder of the trip. That would be the best of both worlds!

Lady Gaga? O.O

GO WITHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tune into the carrier wave!
Let go of Earth!

Ehm.. I actually listened to dance in the dark on the tale end of a pharmahuasca. No regrets

Judge me if you will!

I'm not sure why I didn't think of this! I'm a huge fan of the pianist, Philip Glass and his amazing work. He has written many plays and soundtracks to go along with movies and he was a massive part in the film, "koyaanisqatsi".

SWIM thinks his work on the piano would be absolutely perfect to take along with you on your next trip with the spice. You might want to turn down the volume on your headphones or speakers though since his music can be blaring loud. With it turned down enough, say half way, he knows it will come through for you. At least this is the first song he will listen to with the spice after a few experiences without external audio from your itunes or other databases.

Here is the song he will try it with the first time he listens to music with spice:

I own a much better quality song than the one within the link (Better bass and overall quality really). Another song I suggest is Swara Raga Sudha by Chitti Babu. Most of the versions I find online aren't the piano version. The one I suggest you listen to is the piano version of Swara. If you don't have better luck finding it then I do at the moment PM me and I will send the version I have to you.

It really is worth a listen. The song is quite beautiful.

What do you guys think of playing Koyaanisqatsi (The youtube link song) during a trip?

Great link, i can understand why it's your stop shop.

My experience tells me sounds can be distracting. I've had it with my one dmt experience and also with Salvia experiences. It feels like sounds take me back to this world in one way or another.

Peace

Yeah. Since he he linked it here I have had it open on this laptop while playing it now and then over several hours. All the music sounds great.

Snozleberry, I absolutely love your posts. I'm a music nut myself and you've inspired me even further. Can't wait to start experimenting with spice and tunes.

Loud, fast paced music that I love works just fine - depends what you are looking for I suppose.

Haha, I was planning on trying So Happy I Could Die. God only knows what that song will do to me on -huasca, considering what it does to me sober!

It's funny, ego death is such a wonderful, amazing experience if you don't resist it. (And why would you? I wish it would stay dead!) So Happy I Could Die could be a REALLY powerful song to listen to on a psychedelic of sufficient duration.

Not that I wouldn't want to try LoveGame out if I were in a more playful, less serious mood.

I personally would NOT want to come into contact with a hyperspacial disco stick.

only birdsong for me

birdsong, wind, and neuroelectricity.

Once, on my friend's first time smoking DMT, someone was tapping their fingers. And then someone started tapping their thighs, and then a table, and by the end, everyone was tapping something and it sounded like a tribal beat. And we all were smiling at him the whole time. It was pretty awesome. He didn't go very far though, by the combined low dose he inhaled and the distracting beats. He did enjoy it though.

For me, DMT doesn't enhance music, and music doesn't enhance DMT. But I listen to fast, melodic metal usually, and this is probably too intense for DMT. Every time I try I end up scrambling to turn it off.

To sum up, it's my opinion that music often is distracting and can prevent breakthroughs. But perhaps very slow, very atmospheric music/animal sounds might work.

I've started listening to stillstream a lot more since it was mentioned and I have discovered a few artists and gained quite a few meditation songs because of it. The songs should go great with it.

So thanks for that link!

For me I need to have the right tunes playing for a while before blast off. It puts me in the right frame of mind. Can't say I have ever noticed the music consciously during the peak, but it is there in some form. I have had some WONDERFUL moments listening just after becoming "myself" again, really beautiful lose my myself in the music moments that I really enjoy. I have never blasted off without music, but most people seem to say it's better without, so maybe it is time to try...

Blasting off in about 15mins. wish me luck people

Gentle journeys + music = "yes!".

Intense launches + music = *on re-entry* "what's that?... no really what IS that sound? Oh! Right... the CD player... I was wondering what that was."

Swim is new to this culture, he started last year with musrooms and ever since has been on the hunt. Swim hasnt had the pleasure of a DMT hyperspace but he has experienced it with mushrooms, and i would have to say that music if the right style can be an extremely useful tool in journeying through other worldly realms. Id sudgest listening to something along the lines of "Enigma", my personal favorite is "Aphex Twin - selected abiemt works", its very soft and trancy. Even without the aid of psychedelics SWIM finds it very easy to drift off to other realms of his psyche with the help of those 2 bands. Hope this was helpful

Music on shrooms was the most amazing experience you could have while tripping with as low as a gram of shrooms. It makes you physically feel very great and a song that you love listening to while sober will be unimaginably and undoubtedly the greatest feeling you have ever had.

DMT, however, is much, much more different. Although I have collected a wide range of meditation songs from www.stillstream.com (Thank you soulfood).

I myself always put on some relaxing down tempo psytrance before smoking more so as a pre-ritual and to set the ambience, but so far I haven't actually heard the music when tripping. I can hear my friend/sitter speak on some occasions, but generally I'm so distracted by what I am experiencing that I don't hear much- or by the opposite extreme I hear loud vibrations etc so I can't hear the music over these noises.

When going on a journey do you prefer silence(or sounds of nature) or music(what kind)? I'm still on the fence being as i'm still in single digit trips. Can you even hear(or are you aware of) the music you're listening to when you break through?
