I looked at various party aftermovies and decided this one is worthy of a DPV post.

Chai, Charas & Changa

15 Mar

Written and directed by Giorgia Gaia. She also has a freely available paper on the subject.

The video explores the experience of psychedelic gnosis as it occurs in participants during psychedelic trance festivals, focusing on particular techniques involved in this process. Psychedelic gnosis is the practice of self-discovery and re-connection with a cosmic consciousness facilitated by the use of a wide range of psychedelic techniques and practices, including but not limited to psychoactive compounds, that facilitate ‘mind manifesting’. The video outlines what chai, charas and changa are, their historical origin and their symbolic and practical function in relation to the psychedelic gnosis process as experienced by participants during psytrance festivals. It includes first-hand observations, videos and quotes from the interviews conducted with participants and with Julian Palmer, the man who claims to have invented Changa.

Lost at the Lost Theory Festival

15 Aug

When this post will be published I will be in the Lost Festival with two other members of this site!

This video starts off with a couple of people that have a hard time leaving the festival ground last year and than shows a bit of the madness that went down. I Hope it’s as good in 2013 as well 🙂

 

If I have a wish for this festival it’s that Simon Posford will give a surprise set 🙂

The best zoo in the world

29 Sep

I don’t go to zoos. A zoo is a sad place invented by animals that have lost contact with their animalistic parts. You have to loose contact with your animalistic part in order to think of such a twisted concept as a zoo. But this video is from one of the most beautiful zoos in the world. I love being a part of a zoo, all I need is some music to go bananas to.

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.
