I usually go for peaceful, never tried this brutal glitchy suff (e.g. Vaetxh), but I might actually give that a shot. Would just have to create a playist so I won't have to switch during the 20-30m after pulling the needle from my vein. :D
The album Gravity from Ben Lukas Boysen is more peaceful, and very interesting. Under the name Hecq, this same guy also produced other music that is more experimental but also pretty majestic and perfect for dissociative trips, like the track Above - that certainly inspires "Space Odyssey" feelings.
I like your taste Solipsis! I'm not so much a fan of Burial's new stuff though. A big fan of IDM since the late 90s, I love me a bunch of Funcken brothers and
their many aliases. Quench's Punctuated album is an old favorite. The first Shadow Huntaz album 'Corrupt Data' has some absolute gems, and I usually don't care for hip-hop.
thnx for the tip!
If you like IDM then I'm sure you're familiar with Kettel? His is my favorite music and has been for years, I will never forget
Mwoeb, it triggered a rebirth experience once on LSD.
That whole album 'Through friendly waters' is pure gold.
Secede, Wisp, Proem, and Tapage are also very good.
and sure I like Flying Lotus. (
You must have seen this video lol)
But, this thread is not about music preference per se but about music on dissociatives.
- Ben Frost is probably good on dissociatives (no I'm sure I've listened to it high on them), I've been to him live and it nearly annihilated me sober. Part of that was from sitting close to the woofer but still.
It is post-minimalistic, part drone-like (I recommend the wonderfully titled track "..I lay my ear to furious latin"), also with a lot of deep growling noises.
- Alva Noto is interesting and very purely produced if you have an audiophile music system to play it on. Extremely clinical technoid.
- Forest Swords is very original and nice music produced by a guy who is going nearly deaf.. it sounds pretty lo-fi in a good way.
- Aaron Martin with Machinefabriek - Cello Recycling is a pretty profound ambient drone work that only works laying down fully immersed or for meditation, and holing also very much so...
- Raison d'Être is just fucken serious deep sounding ambient stuff with chanting and church bells and stuff, worth a fucked up experience rather than good music. IIRC Deaf Center is good ambient to continue from there. But you can also just listen to dark ambient of course.
- There is also of course more tribal, psychedelic stuff like Flint Glass and Tzolk'in... or post-industrial IDM-y classics like Stendeck, Architect, or ... arguably the rulers Gridlock, aim for a deep hole, launch, and put on the album Formless, culminating in the track Atomontage (listen to that entire track OMFG), then report back upon reentry.
