I'd be very interested to hear what people have to say about this.
Who writes music/lyrics on psychedelics, and how do they compare to your sober work? What about electronic music, anybody got themselves tripping balls and opened a DAW to lay down some cool beats? And, for those of you who play instruments, how do you find yourself affected, for example, do your improvisation skills improve or worsen? I'd also be interested to hear how people in the process of learning have found their learning to be affected (well, musicians never stop learning, but I mean beginners).
Also, I'd like to know people's thoughts on music theory. I am involved with music myself, but whenever I write music I just do what feels right. I can't read music, I'm rubbish at remembering scales, and what chords are best suited for a particular key, and things like that. For those who are knowledgeable in these areas, how do psychedelic drugs affect your interpretation of 'musical rules'? And one last thing, weather you write music or just jam about, how does tripping affect the mood and emotional tone of your creations?
One thing that is quite odd, is that despite making music all the time, and tripping quite often, it's rarely that I've actually tried both at the same time. This is usually due to circumstances such as not being at home or simply just being too distracted by other things.
And so, over to you lovely people.
