uvAntam aka Ubar Tmar

6 Sep

Japanese uvAntam is known not only for his crazy brand of psytrance, but also his love for sacred geometry and mathematics, which the above visual pieces illustrate perfectly. Consider for example his 2002 album Macrometasomakosmos:

The arrangement/rhythm of musical elements on this CD is based on Penrose tiles (aperiodic tiling). It is broken into tracks all either 34 or 55 seconds long, for a total of 89 tracks (that is, 55 tracks plus 34 tracks), in accordance with the Golden Mean.

34, 55, 89 are successive terms in the Fibonacci Series – a sequence of numbers in which each term is the sum of the two previous terms. As the terms grow larger and larger the ratio of a term and its immediate predecessor approaches the Golden Mean, which is (1+√5)/2 or approximately 1.618.

More Psychedelic PC Gaming: The Unfinished Swan

4 Sep

This one is kind of picking up the thread from The Devil’s Tuning Fork and the recent Painting Reality post.

Like The Devil’s Tuning Fork you are exploring your surroundings from a first person perspective through creative interaction. The world may be already there and finished, but your possibilities of interaction depend on you filling the – in this case big white or big black – blanks.

MGMT as Mental Mystics

29 Aug

This video speaks for itself! It features a psychedelic-style band, MGMT, discussing psychedelia in various surreal settings. Certainly one of my favorite posts I made here.

And less relatedly, when I got introduced to this excellent band it was by no other than the DPV. It was when their music video for “Time to Pretend” was published here (https://dailypsychedelicvideo.com/2010/05/07/mgmt-time-to-pretend/).

Mushroom Enhanced Kung Fu Fighting: Rag Doll Kung Fu

28 Aug

The original Rag Doll Kung Fu was an independently developed (by the now “game of the year”-famous makers of Little Big Planet) drug infested rag doll fighting game. It was blasting with marijuana leaves, explicit mushroom abuse and colorful space and time bending effects. I would say it was THE stoner-movie among video games.

You can still play it and there is a free-to-play demo available. Check out the games homepage.

Los Alguiens – El Internet

27 Aug

So simple, so bizzare, so addicting. A funny  song by Mexican band Los Aguiens about the internet with a definite psychedelic twist.
