Playing music

Any musician's have any experience playing/practicing your instrument while tripping? Thoughts? Experiences?

 

ive had a lot of trouble with guitar on acid as the strings sort of melt and dont react as they normally would.. my fingers sort of blend with the fretboard.. but with bass it was pretty sweet, the thick string is more reactive.

im going to learn saxophone, i think that would be sweet to play while trippin

 

Classical guitar is so much fun with LSD, but before the peak is pretty hard to play. A few trips ago we had 4 people all controlling different knobs and keys on my synthesizer and blasted it. Now THAT was fun, 4 minds melting into each other to play one instrument.
God Bless +

 

mhmm it does all get better after the peak

 

Personally, I could noodle on my guitar all day in such a state; drums get tricky

 

i've played my guitar the most fluid on lsd

 

mmmmm
get my palm chakras spinning
flow out all the stagnant energy
harmonize my soul with the notes
getting into the groove of the forest
certain days in certain keys

 

Well I wouldn't advise playing instruments on acid...
For me, the only solid way to get a positive flow of musical creativity via psychedelics is to get into a state of composition after the trip (when a sense of familiar mindset returns). I play drums, guitar, bass and keyboard. I also mix music on Audacity, and produce psychedelic tunes on FruityLoops Studio 7 and Ableton Live.
I've made some amazing (in my humble) hybrids of genres following trips where I haven't kept listening to just one genre (i.e. PsyTrance), but somehow implanted structures of certain genres in mind and heard different genres through these pre-set structures. Hard to explain, probably harder to understand. You just need to experience.

For example, I've made a short edit of (metal band) Naildown's 'Dream Crusher' and spun it up with the intro to Hallucinogen's 'In Dub' version of 'LSD' in what I can only describe as an 'acid-zig-zag time signature'..

Describing it's origin would be like attempting to explain to someone that's been blind since birth what it's like to see.

I would highly advise it!

Carry a drum, come upon a sitar, sing your heart out

you will learn so much.

Be near water.

 

Tried.
Doesn't work for me.
I'd rather TRIP HARD and play later.
Much more positive creations result.

 

Trip hard, play and trip, play later, trip later,



being a musician, I just can never trip and not play.
everything breaks down into frequencies, anyway
life is a symphony
so I weave my own.
I am an improvisational artist, though
and most of my music is just a reflection of chaos magick
nothing like jamming on LSD with good musicians.
funkin psychedelic blues oooooze ;]

 

I have a moogerfooger ring modulator that I run my guitar through and some pedals to control the mix, rate, and frequency of the ring mod....

lmfao I can make UFOs rain down from the sky hahaha

 

okay then you modulate some analog delay

 

if you're playing a hand drum

with your left hand, push down on the drum skin

and with your right, smack it like a bitch

you can alter the pitch due to the tightness of the skin 'cause you're applying pressure

it also depends on where you put your finger down on the skin

so move your fingers around, and tap tap tap

you can make it sound like it's singing and breathing

 

LSD breaks down all the barriers, that's why it's an worthy aid of music to be recognized.

 

what barriers?

 

Dude, no disrespect at all so don't take this the wrong way - but you could of clicked the 'edit' button - that's a shitload of multi-posting.
Back on topic;
to be fair I've only had the opportunity to play my korg synth while tripping, so in all fairness there is much to be explored. Never had a stringed instrument in my hands on acid - although I think it's about time! Drums would probably be a bit too much.

 

By barriers I think he means the filters. Filters of information. The pre-set filters which you have grown to take for granted (pre-psychedelic encounter); your initial sensory perception.

 

I could have . . but I didn't.

Synthesizers are a blast, but I see why you would want to wait haha
all those buttons lights and knobs can get really silly

nothin' like the resonance of a vibrating string in a hollow body

 

Yea that's my brand too, Korg. Very nice equipment.
