the smiling eyes
Rising Star
I am a musician/music lover of 14 years and music has been the biggest, most fulfilling thing in my life during that time. I thought it only fitting that my first post on this board be about music's relationship with my DMT journeys.
I'll try to keep this as to the point as I can as I know I'm new and need to pay my dues, it will be hard though as I can see myself getting carried away.
I choose my music very carefully before going into a DMT flight. I take into consideration my mood, the mood of the song and the nature of which I wish my trip to be. I do this because I know that everything I see in that world will be propelled, manipulated and, yes, even fabricated by what I'm listening to. It must be something I'm very familiar with and must have vocals as it will act as an anchor to reality. This keeps me from drifting into a potentially intimidating environment that I once went to while listening to something very abstract without vocals on a heroic dose of DMT.
For my first several experiences I chose The Postal Service. If you're unfamiliar with their work I strongly suggest you check them out and do a DMT flight listening to any of their songs. It's kind of like this really texturized electro-pop record with indie rock sensabilities. While on the spice, the geometric entities and endless coloured patterns seemed to dance with the music so perfectly and beautifully that it was impossible to seperate what I was hearing from what I was seeing. It was, at the time, the most beautiful thing I had ever witnessed. Little did I know, I had just scratched the surface of what music can do with DMT.
The particular experience I want to share took place two weeks ago. I decided I wanted to step away from the laid back comfort zone of The Postal Service and step into more challenging territory. I chose the happiest most upbeat song I could think of. "Monkeys" by The Mad Caddies. Boy was I ever in for something.
In order to properly understand the mood of this trip you need to hear this song. (I'll post a couple links at the end.) It's a ska/dixieland jazz song that made for the most joyous amazing experience ever. There were entities dancing in an animated beautiful hyperspace environment, beckoning me to join them as I sat on my couch in amazement. The bridge of the song is this slow, saucy spirit fingers dance bit and during this part the entities were dancing in a circle passing in front of my face smiling so big I could see into their soul. They danced closer and closer to me until, I swear on my life, one of them kissed me on the cheek! I literally felt it! This only set the stage for what was to come. The next song on the record "Econoline" is a fast paced punk rock/ska song that I went into with a rapid heart rate from the previous song and for the entire song I felt as if I was on a roller coaster. Brightly coloured patterns and shapes racing by me in tandem with what I was hearing. I bit my lip and let it take me. I came out of the trip with tears in my eyes and heavy breathing. I had fallen in love all over again. Words can't describe the excitement and joy that I felt.
Thank you for reading this, I know I got a little carried away. I can't help myself. Music and DMT and my two favourite conversation topics and when the two unite, well, let's just say I get carried away. I could've went much deeper but I'm reading over this and I'm thinking people may not want to read it when they see how long it is. I hope that's not the case.
Here are some links if your curious about what I was hearing and/or want to try these songs for your own flights.
