Coming down off stims.. Music?

If you are trying to silence your own stim-fueled thoughts (I myself get very tired of my own thoughts in the end) - then I suggest podcasts. Or Alan Watts lectures. They are always awesome.

But if you just want to unwire, then...http://youtu.be/KRAMNWzfjcg

Aphex Twin is awesome, but for comedown? Where are you trying to go? How down? To the Purgatory Rave? :D It seems to me that Aphex and such make the stim psychosis happen sooner...

Another one of my favorites (I bet no one has ever heard about them) is band called Dahling - http://uk.myspace.com/dahlingband Perfect for slow drifting...

MDMA I find it has to be something electronic, DnB, Jungle, Trance, Electronica.... shit like wigan pier.
Though with amphetamine I find anything really. I tend to be more constantly thinking and having any form of music in the background helps with the thoughts of, 'shit, I should be doing something right now'. If anythng I lean towards more lyrical acoustic kind of music. Though as I say, just about anythng. Even havingtethe news on in the backgrond helps. Fuck, even someone on a pottery program talking about spinning a vase satisfys my needs.

Crystal castles has always comforted me well during stimulant comedowns. I'm certain they have experienced many themselves.

My usual comedown soundtrack is symphonies. Ludwig van.
Other recommendations: Fleet foxes, chill dubstep, and I second Crystal castles but the more melodic songs.
If your not susceptible to getting depressed you could also try Elliot Smith
Also find the raunchiest gay porno you can get, but don't watch the screen, just listen to the sounds.

lol IMO no

But it is,there is no meaningful physical distinction between music in general and other audible acoustic waves in general.

Or Alan Watts lectures.

If you like patent nonsense and deepities, sure. I'd rather listen to the Feynman lectures and learn something about empirical reality.

^no difference between music and other longitudinal waves on the audible frequency range?

How much do you know about music? Music theory is essentially the applied mathematical relationships between audible frequencies and their interactions.

Based on the physical properties of a waveform one can accurately estimate how 'pleasing' it will be.

Even the equipment generating said frequencies can play a role in the music. A Fourier analysis of vacuum tube transistors versus modern silicon transistors reveals some interesting harmonic properties that may hold the key to why vacuum tube amplification is sill sought after to this day.

Anyone can analyze quantitative data, but it takes an artist to analyze and synthesize in the realm of the qualitative.

If you take an arbitrary sine wave of some n hertz you find in a "noise" signal and that same n hertz sine wave from a music signal. How can it be meaningfully different? Amplitude? Well record them and play back at same power. Phase? Kind of irrelevant(and depends on the observers reference frame, so does the frequency for that matter)

Perhaps to a block of ice, but then again frozen water doesn't not suffer from the affliction of human emotions.

Personally I love me some old school outlaw country and western on a come down. Hank Williams, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
