@midtsveen@social.linux.pizza"Dance is active meditation.
When we dance, we go beyond thought, beyond mind and beyond our individuality to become one in the divine ecstasy of the union with the cosmic spirit.
This is the essence of the trance dance experience."
— Goa Gil
@midtsveen@social.linux.pizza@maggiejk I completely agree that #hallucinogens like #LSD have potential beyond just treating #depression and death anxiety.
As someone who is #autistic and living with ulcerative colitis, I'm particularly interested in exploring how these substances could help with a broader range of conditions.
It's exciting to see the growing interest in #psychedelic research, and I hope it leads to more treatments for various health issues, not just #PTSD and depression!
Edit: Thanks for sharing!
My third album is out.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
New #introduction
I am a digital #artist working in #krita, making work with a somewhat subconcious process, featuring strange ethereal beings, demons, and wizards. I am inspired by #weird #SciFi and #fantasy art of the 1970s and 80s, perhaps not unrelated to my love of #ProgRock and #HeavyMetal and #psychedelic music
I boost art that I enjoy, and I hope you will too :))

In an effort to combat doom-scrolling and excessive worrying I've recently begun recording short improvised noise/drone pieces. I'm not sure whether they'll be interesting to anyone else, but I thought I might as well share some of them. This first collection contains the first five I made. It's a free download with no required sign-up, so please feel free to grab a copy if you like.
Succesfully completed the #7DRL challenge.
I made a weird *takes deep tag-breath* #abstract #vector #roguelike #psychedelic #puzzle #arcade #game that feels all #trippy and Jeff Minteresque. So far people have been calling it "puzzling but strangely addictive".
I'm very proud of the way it looks, sounds and feels, and I really feel I've leveled up as a #gamedev in the process.

Might also be nice to mention I made it in #panda3d , the best game engine in the world.
heyyy, it's bandcamp friday!
i just re-released the final batch of old music on my new bandcamp page, so it is now up to date with everything i've done so far 
"girls rock" is the sounds of a lonely android girl, as she floats around the moons and planets of an uninhabited star system, creating psychedelic bops and astral jams with the friends that live in her head 
also, to celebrate re-releasing everything i've put my entire catalog on sale for almost nothing if you like this sort of thing
thanks for listening! 
Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia have all decriminalized psychedelic mushrooms, in case you weren't paying attention. So my Washington comrades, now might be a good time to talk about psychedelic anarchism.
Imagination is the most powerful weapon against authoritarianism. If we can't imagine a world beyond this one, especially if we can't imagine the path out, how can we build that future? How can we walk down a path we can't imagine?
Years of research into how PTSD impacts cognition have shown us that trauma suppresses creativity and imagination. The greatest power of fascism is its ability to traumatize us into submission. We become prisoners without chains, trapped simply in our inability to imagine how things could be different.
Guess what psychedelics do.
Simple microdosing can recover some of that capability and can help us begin to imagine new ways to resist. Larger doses (with appropriate trip protocols, set and setting, etc) can increase our creativity and neuroplasticity for days and weeks after, allowing us to both imagine how things could be better and to enact those changes.
It's all too common that we focus on the material conditions of revolution and ignore the psychic ones. The 60s didn't come out of nowhere. Acid was discovered in the 40s. The psychedelic revolution preceded the physical one. We have learned a lot since then.
There aren't enough police in the world to stop us from making things radically better, if we first free our minds. Kill the cop in your head.
"Free your mind... and your ass will follow" isn't just a song title. Revolution is a DIY project, and it starts with you.

The prompt is Elevate
Morgan Page, “Elevate” 2008
#MorganPage is a #DJ and producer who’s done remixes for other artists as well as creating and releasing #ElectronicMusic of his own…you know the type. 
This album contains both Page’s own tracks featuring guest vocalists, and an assortment of his remixes. There’s a fair amount of #EDM stuff that doesn’t really grab me, but also some less head-pummelling gems.
My favorite is his #remix of “Sleepwalking Through the Mekong” by #LA-based #Cambodian-#surf--#psychedelic band #DengueFever (quite the niche!), whose original version became the centerpiece for soundtrack of the film of the same name, which attempts to connect the dots of their cross-cultural sound. Wait what?
BUT back to the album “Elevate” - please enjoy this sublime remix.

Hi friends, I have been in recovery from a small operation to remove a hopefully benign growth. The good news is the bed rest has encouraged lots of drawing. Please enjoy this updated vision of a submerged sleeper.
Old footage of Harari live
https://amf.didiermary.fr/old-footage-harari-live-kippies-club-joburg/
Harari (“Lone Wanderer”) was a legendary Afro-Rock group founded in the late 60’s by Om Alec Khaoli, Selby Ntuli and Sipho Hotstix Mabuse.
Through the years Harari supported many international acts on their tours of South Africa, including Percy Sledge, Timmy Thomas, Brook Benton, Wilson Pickett and Letta Mbulu. […]
I haven't shown these anywhere for many years. Stepping back in time to my early 20's (1990's) and a very exploratory and experimental era. Apart from copious amounts of various 'substances' my artistic influences back then came through Dali, Escher, Giger and a fistful of New York and Melbourne stylewriters - (graffiti artists). I consider both of them to be 'inner self portraits' in many ways.
