Is music a good mix with DMT? My friend (who has had much much more experience with the spice than me) said that music wouldn't be an important factor. Giving that one time he tripped with a TV on a ceased to understand English so he thinks that music would be very irrelevant during the trip. What are your thoughts on this?

My experience is that ambient music supports the experience, while music with too much interesting stuff happening (pretty much all but ambient, i.e.), distorts it.
The perfect song for DMT experiences IMO/IME is Marconi Union's "Weightless", which has incidentally been claimed to be the most relaxing song in existence.

DMT is a musical thing for me as much as it's a visual. But I am a musician... I almost always keep some nice non distracting music at low volume when blasting off. In comparison to my silent journeys, I prefer music.

Thanks for the recommendation, really enjoying these guys tracks!

try Bluetech, its all very relaxing but expanding at the same time, although ive never listend while under the influence

Making the leap from watching TV on DMT doesn't really work to listening to music is probably gonna be a bad idea is an interesting hypothesis in the sense that it's completely unfounded. Music is so far from irrelevant (even though I often times choose not to listen anymore, but I'll explain). It has been in my experiences that I've observed that sounds are quite literally what moves hyperspace. If there's some entity for example who's moving around doing his thing, it seems to me that he's using sound to do so (ranging from barely audible to deafening loud). By playing music, often times (for me anyway) the music will overpower the "natural" sounds of hyperspace and therefore override them such that hyperspace is now moving according to the frequencies in the music and less by their own sounds they create. Music and DMT can create quite the ecstatic experience.

The reason why I choose not to listen to music so much on my journeys anymore is because if it's a particular special journey (which is sort of hard to know how exactly it's gonna go) then important information or interesting sounds may be drowned out by the music or the music might prevent the scene from running its original intended course (i.e. you're supposed to go through the door, but now you just watch the door dance in front of you). So what I do now a lot of the times is that I have music waiting to be cued after the initial intense part is over, when the "plot of the story" has ceased, but there are still an abundance of patterns, colors, holograms, and shifting everywhere. Also on aya/pharma there will usually be at least some point where I'll want to get just completely lost in the music. DMT and music can go together like lamb and tuna fish, but it's ultimately a matter of preference. If the whole recognizing English thing is a concern, then don't listen to music with lyrics, and also realize that I've taken DMT a lot and there hasn't been one time where I couldn't understand English either in the music, from my roommates, fellow trippers, whoever...It would be wise to give it your own experimentation so you can be the final judge. Try music that just makes you feel good on a normal basis (and not necessarily just for tripping) in general, or you can try ambient music (a common favorite on the Nexus, but not my cup of tea), or psychedelic rock or instrumental guitar or classical music or whatever. Try it all, as any expectations that you build up for the experience before-hand are likely to be shattered at some point.

most of the time music just freaks me out, its ok if im on a very light journey but if im going to close my eyes and be wisked away then its the sounds of silence for me.

Once i blasting off with some music on(Nick Drake, i think) and had to somehow move across my room, with a head full of madness, and turn it of before the music got me.

This psybient mix has given me some of the greatest experiences of my life.

Some of the songs actually sound exactly how DMT feels for me.

* Do not try listening to / watching this with Spice, unless you are absolutely mental I imagine it would be horrible...

Psychedelics really enhance and expand your ability to percieve music, you hear in much more detail and pick up on concepts you normally might not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcZq62d5hd8 try this song out while tripping, It takes you on one hell of a journey! Anything ozric for that matter!

hahah at first i didnt read the small print and i thought you were messed up lol

i like music, it goes good with the fractals and pattern changes and eases my pre launch anxeity. Everybody is different though. You just have to see what you prefer.

Majority of the people that do spice say NO NO NO to music... well I'm not the majority. I'm a musician also and I've had some VERY extreme and wonderful trips while music was playing. To me if you take a big enough dose and your mind is clear to the point that the only thing that's running through your mind is the music pre-trip then it makes no difference rather you have the music on or not... any outside influences will be integrated into the trip. This can be a good or bad thing but to me it has ALWAYS been good... I think it is amazing what music can transform into when you are hyperspacing.

Some favorites to listen to while in hyperspace... I promise none of these songs will steer you wrong... some of the most colorful experiences I have EVER had

trippy video

What makes you think that way? I would think there are only few people who would be against at least trying music with DMT.

For a one that has practiced playing music for a while although stopped doing it for a while thinking of music became natural and almost hearing it in the head, imaginations into sounds? Maybe you can make up your own soundtracks or at least have some sound of yourself heard when you do it? Maybe try to listen some tracks and then not listen and compare the results of different planned sessions?

I recently had some beautiful feelings while playing some tunes from Stars of the Lid:

No drums, no vocals... not much of anything really. But that's what makes it so powerful.

Well I've read A LOT of comments saying no music or light music to achieve profound and deep trips. I've also read comments where people said music is a distraction... i disagree with both statements. Each trip is what you make of it, mind set, setting etc..... if you want to add in your own little elements then I say go for it. I've had some pretty profound trips with music and some videos... I wouldn't recommend watching like a horror movie for example but I would recommend trippy videos like this....

I've watched this clip and what I saw spilled out of the TV and into the room... truly amazing but there are A LOT of people that are against "DMTV".

asking this question is like asking if sex is a good combination with orgasms, imo
