The key thing for me here, is that I try to intentionally choose tracks that fit the bill musically and are also at least 10ish minutes long, as I dislike song transitions mid-journey.
That's exactly my point too. I'm fine with 7-minute tracks or so, but any less than that, and I feel like the song transition distracts me too much from the journey.
I'm gonna check your suggestions (the ones I don't know yet, anyways
) I think we both have a similar taste.
To add a bit to the conversation: I mostly enjoy non-kinetic music for DMT journeys, for the same reasons you mention. But, sometimes I feel very different about it, and I want to go in a different direction. Around 10% of my trips I'm blasting forest psytrance and darkpsy, but even in those cases I go to the ritualistic/dark ambient kind of feel, instead of mechanical overcrowded hitech noises, because I get easily overwhelmed.
The journey, of course, its very different in those cases. I feel like ambient trips can be more healing, I can get deeply relaxed and think about myself. On the other hand, darkpsy journeys are faster, more chaotic, but also more visual (maybe there's more sounds triggering synesthesia?) and fun. I can get healing and revelations in both of them, especially after the main event, but the latter feels less serious, more recreational.
Do you sometimes go for a different style of music? If so, what drives you? I don't know what drives me, I
just know what feels right at that moment.
