"Everyone decides it’s time for a smoke so we go out back to the patio. She has speakers in the back so we turn on some trippy instrumental music and roll up a fat joint. The weed definitely boosted the intensity of the trip. The music playing on the speakers was flowing through my body, piercing my veins with awesomeness and melting my face like butter on some flapjacks. Everyone was talking and laughing and voices sound so distorted and echoed." Trip report from someone on 2C-E. Source: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=92341

"I passed out so many times, waking up to something playing with very little memory of how I'd made it or what the patch was. Like being outside of thought, or maybe being thought itself, or a conduit. Maybe some spiritual experience I can't put into words. Definitely being between things, where I like to be, uncharted. I don't try and rationalise these things, I just end up going in circles. It's nice not really being able to express something in words, it's beyond it. It feels like I am trying to explain that state. I have no idea, it's fucking awesome though." Aaron Funk (Venetian Snares) Source: http://thequietus.com/articles/08802-ve ... view-sleep

"We then were snatched away from the wall and adventured out for our car ride. We climb in the car and begin to move. Techno music was playing. I was enjoying it. In the song there was a small, German boy who would occasionally say something in German. I thought he was talking to me. He was leading me further into my trip. We made it to Taco Bell and food was picked up. At this point I was amazed that there were other people that their sole purpose was to give food! I had completely forgotten about the concept of money and to me these people lived within Taco Bell only to feed others. They became the Food-Givers to me. Then we were off. We adventured to a small service station in order to pick up cigarettes. While here, the German boy was again talking to me. Then the driver came back, and we left. That was when the song changed. Suddenly it became very, very loud. At this point I was under the impression that I had been listening to the wall (aka where the speaker was. It was a wall to me) and I had heard its thoughts. I had gotten into the wall's head and it found out and suddenly it was angry with me and decided that it should punish me by yelling. I was frightened. I asked for the angry person to go away. They turned the music off. However, by this point I had been freaked out and my stomach began to churn. I realized what was happening. Then we made it back to the house we were at originally, I went inside, and then my hour of hell began." Trip report from someone on Mushrooms.

Nordvargr talking about one of his upcoming albums, "N,N-Dimetyltryptamin": "A very experimental album (online release only at the moment on Vicmod Records/Australia) recorded on the Buchla 200e modular system exclusively. It contains elements of my ”classic” style, but it goes beyond that in terms of experimentation, methodology and goals. It is not an album about drugs. To actually say that this is music for something like DMT is ironic – you will most probably not be taking notice of music at all when taking DMT. It does make you high, but not in the traditional sense of the word. It separates your consciousness from your body. It makes you leave your body. It raises serious questions about what we really are. Or more specifically, how the human mind works – that was my inspiration." Source: http://www.nordvargr.com/

"What is that thing which is not defined and would not exist if it were defined? It is infinity, which if it could be defined would be limited and finite, because that which can be defined ends with the limits of its circumference, and that which cannot be defined has no limits."
Leonardo Da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life, # 44.

"I was quiet again. Then, approaching from a distance, a dance by a feline-like feminine figure. It was incredible, and I was deeply moved. Acrobatic, yet smooth and flowing, I was entranced. Then I realised she was a shadow. I realised that shadows all around me had begun to dance, so I joined them. There was visual music and all around the shadows danced. They taught me to dance like them, and I felt so grateful that I cannot explain." Trip report from someone on Datura. Source: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=16973

"Something new in art, in music is generally difficult. We all know we live in a time where it is quickly about noticing : it’s all been there before. That is true in a way, but not in others. Otherwise someone like me could not exist as an artist, not work as an artist. The new evolves from the old, otherwise it would not be recognizable. That is just the way it is, or else we would not understand it. I am someone who likes to go back to experiences from the last decades, to other stylistic periods in art and music. It’s like a big supermarket in which I can take things freely, but only in order to create something new. It’s all about more and more subtle fusions, something new in the real sense cannot be created anymore. But I still believe that with a strong signature and fantasy, you can give new meaning to the already existing. Just through merges, and be they abstract ones. I always had a tendency to connect the impossible. When I started merging techno and German ‘Schlager’ in the nineties, they wanted to beat me up first, then everyone loved it. However, they thought it was meant as a joke and it wasn’t. Today, I like to merge things both in art and music, without too much respect and a bit of boldness – that’s what I’m told. But I think that brings the more exiting results. Today I’d rather risk going a bit overboard in my artistic work than limit myself due to expectations, sales, or whatever."

"In art there is an expression I like, particularly in connection to the old, the historical; and that is : active forgetting. That means, you need to know many things, but in order to progress, you need to be able to forget. If you do a bit of art archaeology, and that’s what I do too by sampling or scanning – there is the old saying : things are allowed to come back if they know why they were gone. It’s a well known saying and works for me. But there are these often quoted retro-trends in music, and I hate retro in the sense of authenticity. I don’t care if a band looks authentically like 1978, I don’t want to see it. 1978 was 1978. But a certain archaeology, meaning to use stylistic influences in order to create something new is always legitimate. There are only twelve notes and I don’t think I’ll invent a thirteenth, despite my talent for creating off key notes." Wolfgang Voigt Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xEmq4Giyt0

The signed statement also contains a passage in which Jobs details his experiences with acid. “I used LSD from approximately 1972 to 1974," Jobs says. "Throughout that period of time I used the LSD approximately ten to fifteen times. I would ingest the LSD on a sugar cube or in a hard form of gelatin. I would usually take the LSD when I was by myself. I have no words to explain the effect the LSD had on me, although, I can say it was a positive life changing experience for me and I am glad I went through that experience.” Jobs also acknowledges having smoked marijuana with friends and eating it in pot brownies, writing, “The best way I would describe the effect of the marijuana and the hashish is that it would make me relaxed and creative."
