listen to new world symphony by dvorak (karajan-conductor)
use it with really heavy trips

thank me later when you do, consider it my free gift, enjoy peoplez :D <3
 
the first movement of the new world symphony is my favorite. it's a great piece of music!

i think that really represents only the tip of the iceberg you can explore when it comes to classical music and tripping. piano concertos and really complex solo piano works (such as chopin ballades) are so sonically impressive while tripping!

Try Sibelius Symphony #2.

Even better... his Symphony #7. Fucking WHOA.

Let the trip get close to peaking... be sure there will be no interruptions (turn off the phone ringer, etc)... start Sibelius Symphony #7, turn down the lights... a continuous 20 minute battle of darkness and light...

My fave version: you can get the download of the Karajan Sibelius 7 here, in either MP3 or lossless FLAC (i.e., CD format) here: http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/ca...UCT_NR=4743532
review: http://inkpot.com/classical/sibsym7r.html#kardgo
"...This famous reading is cogently argued and above all, spine-tinglingly intense. ... the sense of progression and line is very strong, the sense of living movement taut, the grand energy palpable."

Truly awesome and psychedelic. Dark yet ending in one of the most moving and transcendental blazes of God-Light I have ever hear. Nothing tops this... both dark and light.... I think you will find it utterly perfect. SO organic, really gets under your skin and into your head.

See here for an exquisitely detailed description. It's NOT overblown... this is exactly what it always felt like to me. Make this near the peak of your trip. You will probably end up in tears... you will never be the same... don't listen to it till you are tripping... make tripping the first time you hear this. You will probably need to play it a few times again all the way thru again. Did I say you will NEVER BE THE SAME after hearing this tripping.

I swear I am not joking.

Sibelius' Seventh Symphony: Recordings Survey
http://inkpot.com/classical/sibsym7r.html

ONE MORNING at 2 am, in the quiet of the night, I put on a CD of Sibelius' Seventh Symphony and shut off all the lights in my room. What proceeded is a wholly personal experience which I do not ask you to understand; I only ask that you listen. Deep in the darkness, at the height of Sibelius' last completed symphony, I was delivered into a mountainous haven of musical ecstasy. So utterly absorbed was I that I thought I saw pinpoints of light in my room. Perhaps I was dreaming, half-asleep, maybe even delirious. In any case, I have always imagined these were stars before my eyes, and have called them as such.

WITH a soft stroke of timpani, the Seventh Symphony rises from the darkness. A rising C scale enigmatically ends on A-flat. Mists float by, the woodwind, like some primeval bird, greets the barely-lit dawn. Strings shimmer, nostalgic yet urging gently forward. Light fills the sky, but it is neither night nor day. Surging from the undercurrents, the great trombone theme surfaces and fills the universe with a grand evocation of infinity. An urgent development section follows, full of moving strings, distant winds, cries of life, pulsating rhythms of nature.

The development of the material is tightly concentrated, leading suddenly but inevitably into the second appearance of the trombone theme, dark, solemn with the enduring force of life. Ominous winds swirl, stir and growl in the background. As this passes, the mood flows into a pastorale-like sequence. The alpine trombone theme finally achieves its highest being in its third and final appearance. Where one might think it could not become more awesome, it does - the strings swell, the winds billow with understated power before it then roars into being. Raising a great storm of brass and strings, the symphony seems to struggle in its birth, life and culmination all at once, driving vast galaxies of intense energy.

Suddenly, we seem transported beyond all that has transpired. Ecstatic violins soar higher and ever higher, penetrating the blackness beyond. As if returning to the dawn-touched opening, distant horns reveal a quiet flute solo - is this not the mythic call of the opening, seeming to speak to us from another time, another space?... It is the same voice, the hymn of the trombone in another form, the same musical material that has gone on before, transformed. The breathing, living nature that does not know ending. In all times past and to come, it forms and transforms, never stagnant, always dynamic.

And yet always the same - wherever the Symphony goes, it remembers the essence of its birth. Thus, ultimately we return to the beginning - C major. The Symphony gathers its orchestra for one final paean to universal life itself - every instrument joins in "the grandest celebration of C major there ever was". Except the clarinets, 1st and 3rd trumpets (playing E and G), the entire orchestra, layer by layer, hymns the note C at every octave. Delivered from mortal bonds of earthly understanding, rising above mountains we cannot conquer, gathering with the force of revolving planets, thrust into the chordal Om of the universe, to where the stars dwell.

A contribution to the classical tripping. A classic concerto, one of the most renowned in history. One of my absolute favorites. Although no recording compares to ashkenazy for me, this is one of the best on youtube in full length.

and, a beautiful piece by Bach. Bach's music, I find, has a sort of medieval feel to it that really communicates a journey, the perfect type of music for tripping.

hopefully SOMEONE will enjoy these links :>

I do. Bach on psychedelics is really something else!

I'd recommend the brandenburg concertos if you are searching for something light hearted that's easy to understand and appreciate. But he has much more to offer.

Here's an example of what ridiculously complex things he was capable of writing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDV6dnAnKKg
The art of fugue in any good rendition is a very good choice.
Here's another example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a6KUAONwzM

I'd check out the musical offering too, you can loose yourself completely in this masterpiece. Listening to his organ works on DPT is not for the faint hearted, but very rewarding.

The chello suites and the goldberg variations are excellent companions for quiet, introspective trips:

I will definitely have to try classical my next time out! One of my best friends is a music B.A. and practically half his program (or more) involved exposure to such so he should definitely have a solid collection and good ideas of what might work (though I don't see New World Symphony not working well).

In the electronic sphere of things, I've managed to catch this artist live around town a couple timesq and he stands out for his totally live production, no laptop, just a massive table of drum machines, synths and such:

Everything past track 8 (which seems to stop the music player) is quite amazing, so if you give it a shot, let me know what you think. The artist's name pH is definitely not a coincidence. Cheers and enjoy!
 
I highly, highly recommend sniffing 1/4-1/3g of ketamine (a phenethylamine would synergise nicely), lying in a dark room with your eyes closed, and listening to "A Strangely Isolated Place" by Ulrich Schnauss. Wonderful.
 
Generally I'm more of a jungle bloke than more up to date DnB... and it wouldn't be considered 'trippy' music, but check this track
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au_BUnGWquA

My mate said when he was on acid he went into a 'spasm' when the tune dropped (1:30) and screamed at his friend to turn it off, who found it hilarious. They paused it, he regained his composure, then pressed play and RAVED.
 
listened to In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel in its entirety on 30mg 2ce and 2 hits LSD on friday. It was so achingly beautiful and my best friend and i sang along to ever word on the album at the top of our voices. that is my favorite album of all time and it made me tear up at several points.
 
Music for Ketamine

So it seems that there aren't any good threads about what music to listen to on ketamine. I think it's a unique enough experience that it merits its own kind of music. Maybe dubstep or something bassey. I'm talking about sub k-hole doses here, where you can still identify the fact that your listening to music. And just because it has ketamine in the name, or some reference to it, doesn't make it good with k. Any ideas?
 
I love abstract forms of music on K, like classical infusion of IDM (Kashiwa Daisuke), but also go back to my roots with downtempo, psybient and IDM (bonobo, bluetech, amon tobin, venetian snares, aphex twin, mum, boards of canada, carbon based life forms, solar fields, john hopkins, bibio, fomatic, kiln, younger brother, shpongle, ott, STS9, electrypnose [particularly the downtempo/ambient albums], helios, woob, etc.). I for the first time back in january (repeated multi. times) tried some Nine Inch Nails on K, and I fucking loved it, especially his instrumental tracks (the industrial sounds go with the depersonalization that comes with dissociatives).
 
until lately my favourite music for tripping was psytrance, this changed as i tried 4-aco-dmt while listening to the beatles!
...possibly the most euphoric trip i've ever had.
 
Miles Miles Miles

The most genuinely psychedelic music ever recorded:

If you want a spiritual trip, then there is nothing quite like listening to real devotional music.

Music from the Indian classical tradition has been popular with trippers since the 50s, and it's no wonder. I can honestly say that some of the deepest experiences of my life have involved listening to this music 8):

Ravi Shankar is very well known - but Ali Akbar Khan is considered just as great a musician, and his instrument (the sarod) is arguably even more pleasant to listen to than the sitar:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-EIqxgM9Hw

Majumdar is a great player of the next generation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XutSt2-nc-0

Kalyani Roy has a great sitar style, much less muscular than Ravi Shankar:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkH-tH2HMxo

Sachdev is the great master of the bamboo flute:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D1YHP9A37k

From the Western tradition, I've often enjoyed tripping to Gregorian chants, but it's not to everyone's taste - to me it always sounds very light and joyful, but to others it sounds pretty gothic, which I understand.
One very beautiful variation is the African Gregorian chants from the Keur Mousa monastery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEKyJCb62N8
:)

A final suggestion. If you want to chill out or lighten up after a long, strange trip (or just a long, strange come-up;)), try:

Alex de Grassi

or any of the Wyndham Hill artists

Merged a couple of threads, basically it's all about the same thing: what you like to listen to while tripping. That you are a tripper and what you listen to and/or recommend... etc.

I'm positive there is a BL music forum so lets just mingle in here or go there. ;D

It's time for a part two though, this thread is originally ancient. Will be moved to the archive, but if you want to quote someone
and comment on it, just copy it to the new thread I will create in a second!
