singing and playing musical instruments when tripping? please share experiences
    #19244103 - 12/08/13 09:21 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Who here has sung and/or played musical instruments when having a psychedelic experience. I have.

I am interested in all psychedelics, but I personally have mostly done this when bemushroomed and I chose magic mushrooms as the sacrament for this thread, so...........
But yeah, please tell me your experiences doing this please?

I will share my experiences later

I would also be interested to know if you recorded yourself doing this also

I like to play guitar when I'm coming down. Sometimes if the dose isn't too big then I'll play until I feel the need to lie down.

The music you can come up with on shrooms I found is GREAT, even after coming down I played the melodies and rhythms that I came up with and they were some of the most original stuff i'd come up with.

I've done this a fair amount on LSD and cacti.  It's always an interesting experience, to be sure.

Some of my favorite music I improvised while solo tripping on cacti.

I've never done both at once, but played a little guitar on acid and sung in the ayahuasca circle. I would love to do both though. Actually trying to learn the icaros on guitar and lyrics so i can participate more in the future. But even just when smoking weed it's such a powerful feeling i can't describe it

Chanting and singing can definitely benefit a mushroom trip, ime. Especially if you choose
to trip alone. It can provide sort of a guidance or relief - as music is often a good way to
express feelings not contained in speech or words. It is for me a way to release inhibitions.

Great replies. Here is my experiences. This was few years ago when I recorded myself doing this over quite a few trips. At that time I recorded myself on audio tapes, and some times would do a kind of double up or dub by playing a tape of me singing with or without drums or guitar on the main hi fi and me taping myself singing with guitar or drums on a cassette player

First thing I notice when I hear myself--and feel it too--is having more BREATH!! it is as though in our ordinary life (after all we are really oppressed with modern living, and get tense and this can affect how we breathe). So there is this quality to the voice. there is also a spontaneous knowing what to do with the vocal muscles. For example, often when I sing sober, I may have trouble going from a higher falsetto range to a lower head voice or chest voice, but with magic mushrooms there is this transition which feels magical. Like your possessed by the song, music. I am fascinated when I listen to them---I can hear and sense their power!

it is like when I have painted a picture or drawing on psychedelics, it is like your doing it but at the same time the picture is happening of itself...?

back to music---there is this natural creativity that comes with really unique twists and turns which SURPRISE you with their power.

its funny, I mentioned this at this Brazilian guitar forum expecting an openminded interest, but got this very patronizing telling off by the two resident guitarists there who said ALL drugs are bad bla bla lol. The avatar FOR the forum is BEER--spose they dont think THAT is a drug huh??  They could just not dig what I was talking about at all

before coming here, I had tried a Google trying to see if there were any trip reports talking about this. I couldn't find any, which is strange!

I got a guitar on my 16th birthday.  That's also when I had my first trip - on my 16th birthday in 1979. I was a big Bob Dylan fan and wanted to strum Dylan tunes. Around that time I started getting into Jimi Hendrix. For the next 2-3 years I didn't take lessons but I practiced my ass off. I made my biggest improvements while tripping late at night. Typically, my friends would come over and we'd trip/party for a few hours and then they would leave and I'd be all alone with a couple more hours left to my trip.. So I'd grab my guitar and sit on my bed practicing.

If I was tripping too hard, the guitar felt like a slab of rubber but once I got used to it, it felt like part of me like an appendage. I'd turn the lights off and leave the black light on and maybe a candle burning.. and I'd just play and play.. whatever came into my mind. I'd plug into various effects - delay, flanger, fuzz, and make trippy sounds, finding my way around the fret board. I really got into Hendrix and I spent my non-tripping practice times playing along with his albums.

Tripping did wonders for my playing. That was 34 years ago and to this day, every time I play I rely on things I came up with when I was 16-18 yrs old tripping alone.

That is fascinating! A little while ago, I contacted James Fadiman. He is always asking people for trip reports regarding 'micro doses', and I told him about a recent guitar and singing experience after I had eat only 4 freshly picked little liberty caps where I had felt also very part of my guitar and singing was spontaneously happening powerfully. He was very interested. I do not think that he or ANY researchers I know of have done it ti do with playing musical instruments and singing, or dancing, OR drama.
I tried to talk about this also recently at this Brazilian forum. O M F G, the reaction I got from two of the resident guitarists there--both Brazilian. Both are really anti psychedelics, and started preaching at me that sober is where its at, even though one admitted after I asked him twice that he had never had psychedelic experience, and ther other one claimed he had. One said that people who even smoke pot there in Brazil are looked at with contempt. But the avatar for the discussion forum is glasses of beer! When I mentioned that in Brazil there is the Ayahuasca sacred plants/brew and how many westerners go down for spiritual rituals, and also the Santo Daime and UDV churches where they have ayahausca their attitude was eg 'Oh that is VERY far away'. I was amazed and saddened that musicians could be SO closed-minded. They are even sulking now and ignoring some guitar questions I have asked. Pathetic!

While tripping, I like to review material I've recorded in the past.

I've tried playing while tripping and it's frustrating. The "best ideas ever" are forgotten as soon as my rubber arms overestimate and I hit a wrong note, sends me off on a wildly different tangent.

It's not bad to set up a really simple recording device and just let it run for a while, there might be good ideas in there you can dig up later.

It can be a good way to get to know your instrument from a different perspective, but psychadelics are not a very practical drug as far as creating music goes.

Reflecting on a psychadelic experience can be great inspiration, however.

My opinion, of course :shrug: I bet there are many people out there that play phenomenally while tripping, so whatever works is good

I just started teaching myself how to play guitar maybe a month ago, I think im coming along great but that's besides the point.

Thursday I took a few g of some cubensis and a while after they kicked in I got the urge to play around (only really knowing basic chords and about a dozen song intros)
for the first few minutes it was very awkward because I chose a V guitar to learn on and there not easy to sit with and I just felt like I had a 2X4 strapped to my chest.
once I got in the groove I was hitting chords without placing each finger one at a time.

also I basically perfected the gallop which was giving me trouble trying to time it right, I since downloaded a metronom app and am still getting faster.

nothing inspiring, just wanted to add my experience.

In college, I tripped at my student trombone recital.  I don't think I've ever played so effortlessly, or in tune.  It was slow motion, I could look ahead in the music by like 6-8 bars.  It was awesome, and I had my peers coming up to me after and saying how awesome it was.  If they only knew....

I used to play guitar really seriously, and remember tripping in college, jamming with a friend.  There were lots of people crammed into this little room partying and listening to us jam and all of a suddem, I could feel a part of... me... I guess, traveling down through my guitar, down the cable, and getting blasted into the room through the amplifier.  Was a very interesting experience.  I used to run into people on campus and they would talk about how that night - specifically - was awesome music.

Last time I tripped really hard with friends, we jammed at my friends house and it was beautiful. Instead of everyone trying to fit as much technicality into each bar as possible, we all broke down our play styles into basics and started trying to complement each others playing instead. The results accentuated the acid and the acid accentuated the results and we went deep into the most beautiful jam I've ever experienced. I highly recommend~!

Playing The Doors on my guitar while on LSD was pretty great!
I definitely want to experiment with it more, maybe even with keyboard as well.

I find that lower doses actually seem to help my musical ability. The influx in creativity and fluid motion makes it a lot easier for me to play the guitar.

i've done this a few times, on both shrooms and acid. i think entheogenic state is great for making music...

one time, at bonnaroo haha i was tripping and jamming with people, it got so cosmic although i can hardly remember half of what we played. by the end of it we were rolling on the ground in laughter just randomly plucking the guitar strings xD
