It's all about the PROKOFIEV!!!

Chopin and Rach are also classics, for piano...

But imo, if you can understand the mathematical theory of Bach... you've got to be one hell of a genius

i have clips of me playing on youtube.com/user/scalarburn lol (i suck real bad cause i havent practiced for 2 years prior to that, please dont use me as an example of what classical music should be)

I 100% agree... Prokofiev is amazing. I've never played anything by him, and like you, I haven't practiced piano in years. Almost 4, actually. Which saddens me.

My girlfriend, however, almost has her Master's in piano performance, and she has mastered several Prokofiev pieces.

"the cliburn: playing on the edge." its probably the most famous classical piano competition in america
Click to expand...

In fact, my girlfriend will be in that competition next year.

I also love Shostakovich. And Rachmaninov. And really most of the Russians. Who else agrees with me that classical piano solo pieces are the best, as opposed to orchestra or piano plus orchestra?

I love classical music... it's mostly all I listen to while tripping these days. Either that or no music. I miss the piano. Fortunately, my New Year's resolution was to begin playing again.
 
I absolutely adore Chopin...especially nocturnes. I believe a greater number of people would enjoy classical music if their experiences went beyond hearing some of the more popular orchestra pieces that are played in various forms ad nauseum...

When doing ketamine, solo piano is almost mandatory:) For me it is about the warmest, none threatening medium of music I have come into contact with.

I was going to respond to this talking about my intense love of strings (quintet down to solo, anyway. Orchestral strings sound a bit overdone to me), but then I read how you phrased the question. If you're going to use a piano it really does sound best when it's sparing-- either solo piano, or piano + violin or cello.

playing music on psychedelics makes a huge difference too. youre so much more expressive, more sensitive with each note cause theyre all so so very important...

So so so true. I play guitar, and lately I've been feeling like I'm stuck in a rut, which happens to all musicians every now and then. The last time this happened I started experimenting with modes and got myself out of it, but I've been in it again lately. Recently I got in the mood to experiment musically while on a 2C-E/4-HO-DiPT combo, and some of the stuff I was playing just completely fascinated me. Some was good and some was bad, but the total variation from the things that have been coming to me lately was fascinating. It gave me a whole appreciation for dynamics, and how the same thing can sound completely different when played quietly, or when played loudly; or for how you can use complete silence and dissonant noise to express emotion. It was like tone poetry, and while several of the things I came up with weren't incredible, doing something different really helped to rock me out of my rut.

And now I want to play guitar. Shit. :P
 
Franz Liszt, ah the way he plays the piano is enthralling to me sober...on drugs it's even more amazing.

Chopin, and Beethoven are also great, anything piano is wonderful. A lot of black metal bands (at least more modern ones) use classical music entwined...but it's definitely not for everyone. :D
 
I enjoy one or two songs from the classical genre while tripping, but don't listen to it too much. My friend loves it and listens to Mozart a lot while under the influence of some good geltabs.
 
Awesome Thread.

Classical music, particularly when played softly in the background for ambiance, can paint a mellow and uplifting mood (or any desired mood for that matter) into a trip setting.

Although streotypically associated with stoners and trippers, I'm surprised noone has mentioned good ol Ludwig's 6th Symphony, which, depite being overly popular and thus perhaps a bit untrendy, never fails at making me relax and smile.
 
Classical music just gets on my nerves while under the influence. I tend to gravitate to cerebral folk punk ( Bad Religion!!!, etc.) and Psychobilly ( 12 Step Rebels). And lets not forget Flogging Molly, which is about as good as it gets for trip music. There is just more content to work with, for me at least.

^^ Wow, I would so not like to trip with you... =D That kind of music in general pisses me off.

HAHA, to each his own I guess, though I do tend to drive trip partners nutz with all my Bad Religion8o
 
That's alright... a friend of mine only listens to death metal, while tripping and while sober. He doesn't even own any other kind of music. I don't get it at all... it all sounds completely toneless, like a constant wall of noise created by a rapid bass drum and mashing of guitar notes coupled with a wordless computer-augmented roar. I'd rather listen to shit plopping into a toilet because at least that contains subtleties and natural harmonics.
 
Psychubus, its a book explaining the mathematical theory of bachs music, and compares it to the math theory of godel, and their unignorable comparisons to the drawings of escher.

Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid: A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Caroll (commonly GEB) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas Hofstadter, published in 1979 by Basic Books. A new preface by Hofstadter accompanied a 20th anniversary re-edition (ISBN 0465026567), which was released in 1999.

ohhhhh! haahhahaah *feels dumb*

i'd read it, but honestly, i freakin SUCK at theory. :X even attempting analyzing bach's music to its most minute detail wears me out.

btw, you'd be amazed at how much you still remember if you actually sat down and tried practicing for a couple hours again :) how long were u playing?
 
Psychedelics comparison to music

Psychedelics are like artwork. And to a lot of people, it all kind of seems like a blur when doing RCs and typically unknown street drugs.
So a while back, I had a friend ask what DOC was like, I couldn't extactly sum up the correct experience in words. The only thing that could come out of my mouth was, epic.
Then it hit me, It was kind of like Europe - Final Countdown. And everyone that I have known to experience DOC said agreed to the statement.
What are your guys opinions?
 
LOL!! This post is too funny... psychedelics are like Europe's The Final Countdown to you? Thanks for putting that silly song in my head! :p 8(

(moving to Drug Culture, still LOL-ing)
 
It's the Final Countdown.
Doo doo dooo dooo.
Doo doo doo doo doo.

Bwhahaaa, that's hilarious. I'm yet to try DOC but I'll keep that in mind. ;)

I can't really think of a song that would describe LSD (only psych I'm experienced with), but when I thought of weed, I instantly thought of 'Come as you are' by Nirvana. :\ Strange.

It's the Final Countdown.
