Setting - Silence, music or company on lsd?

[sylenth]

was wondering what swimmers preffer on lsd. swim loves listening to music on lsd with not too much company around, smurf could'nt party in a comfortable way at a rave on lsd. not many people are stable on acid that swim's met. with the music, it's like you can visualize the music flowing in to you sonically with fractals showerng your mind, swim rushes on acid better than on xtc. swim usually only talks when coming down from the trip. being around people who wanna just talk gets to swim. it seems there is quite alot of rock music fans on the forum & swim believes this can have heavy impacts on a persons thoughts & emotions if listening to heavy lyrics.

Perhaps a little slice of each. It's good to have company when on LSD in order to share the experience and share thoughts during it but I think it's best to be on your own towards the end. Just tucked in bed relaxed because it can be such a long, exhausting process to the point where you just want some peace and quiet.

SWIM loves listening to early 90s electronica - Gescom, Autechre, Future Sound of London, the Orb, etc...

SWIM has never tripped solo,but thinks that this would possibly be quite a lonely experience, especially if the trip were to become to inwardly focussed...

SWIM definattley likes music and company when he's tripping though it has to be the right kind of music and the right company.
For instance he dosent like metal when I'm tripping, (he's not a huge fan of ot anyways) I love electronic music especially jungle and drum and bass and lately I've been getting in to dubstep (especically great on acid) But SWIM also really likes psychadelic trance (not regular trance so much).
As far as company goes SWIM dosent like large crowds of people when he's on acid but he loves tripping with a group of close friends. In fact some of the most profound experiences he's ever had have been when he's been tripping with mates.

dexyfiend: drum & bass sounds intresting, never been into that. any artists/songs you recommend? smurf will try this. thanx.

Swim loves to just be alone in a nice dark room lied on there bed and just go with the flow. It can be real fun seeing were this stuff can take you.

When Bongo's mother found all the "little brown-glass vials" in her freezer, and jumped out of her shoes, Bongo suggested she try it herself. If she found it dangerous, Bongo promised to relegate the collection to the dustbin of history. The ape's mother agreed. This is what Bongo did:

Set the mother up in her favorite surroundings filled with her favorite articles, books, notes, so forth. Bongo put a stereo in the room she wished to inhabit. And dusted -off all her favorite records. Then, timing it so the Sun would be setting as the LSD25 was beginning to peak, he offered the Sandoz LSD25 to the mother. The rest is, as they say, history.

The "little brown-glass vials" lived a long and happy life in the freezer.

Swiy should try listening to some acid house/techno, or some IDM (amon tobin, aphex twin)

Recommendations for specific music should go in the 2 sticky threads at the top of the forum. This thread should be for peoples chosen setting/environment and reasons for that choice.

The flamingo likes "all of the above" at various points in the experience. Company of close friends and loved ones is wonderful during the coming up and peak: But they have to be people she knows well, and there can't be more than about 5 or 6 of them, otherwise it can all get a bit busy and confusing

Music is also good during this time, although it can't be too banging, busy or hectic, because sometimes that aggravates the nausea that she always experiences to some degree

Silence is good at about the 8-9 hour mark onwards. Spark up a spliff, sit on the back step, stare at the stars and start to process the wonder. This part of the evening is best shared with Mr J.

personally swim likes to be with friends that he trusts and can talk to. swim doesnt like to trip with intense friends or friends that can get annoying easily. just his closest ones. also swim loves to have music while tripping, especially incubus or some good trance techno

Company vs. no company just depends what mood SWIM is in. SWIM can enjoy a trip by himself or with a few friends, but not too many. 3 people is a good number. When SWIM trips by alone, he only has himself to worry about. Without any distractions SWIM can travel far into his subconscious and get places he can't go with other people around. On the other hand, SWIM likes tripping with good people and soaking up the good vibes.

For an LSD trip, SWIM ALWAYS likes to have music playing. Synesthesia is one of SWIMS favorite effects from lsd. Music helps get the senses all mixed up

there is a time and place for everything.
