Pink Floyd – The Wall

13 Oct

Empty Spaces as an example:

The complete movie:

Pink Floyd’s the Wall is arguably one of the most intriguing and imaginative albums in the history of rock music. Since its release in 1979, and the subsequent movie of 1982, the Wall has become synonymous with, if not the very definition of, the term “concept album.” Aureally explosive on record and visually explosive on the screen, the Wall traces the life of the fictional protagoinst, Pink Floyd, from his boyhood days in war-torn England to his self-imposed isolation as a world-renownedrock star, leading to a climax that is as questionably cathartic as it is destructive.

Dream Machine

3 Oct

This is a video of the Dream Machine Brion Gysin and Ian Summerville invented and build after reading William Grey Walter‘s book, The Living Brain. It is a nice diy approach to making mechanical interfaces for psychedelic experiences and experiments widely available.

I hope to write a whole post on mechanical interfaces for conciousness manipulation (compared to chemical interfaces like psychoactive substances) soon.

You can find a java based online version of the dream machine here.

Gathering of the tribe

16 Sep

My first experience with psychedelic consciousness was through psychedelic trance gatherings. It’s been many years since that moment and I had my ups and downs with the psychedlic trance scene, but all in all I still feel a part of this secret tribe. This tribe is diverse, it exists everywhere and at all times. Every summer when the festival seasone peaks the tribe is gathering. People come from all over the world to share this one consciousness this one love.
