    Has anyone ever tried listening to some Igor Stravinsky while they were tripping? SWIM just heard "The Rite of Spring" for the first time in this manner, and it was probably one of the most incredible experiences ever. Has anyone else ever heard Igor Stravinsky or any other moder or surrealistic classical composures while high?

    I already listened to some opera while high, it was great. LSD enhances feelings and perceptions, it's the perfect state of mind to be receptive to the beauty of classical music and art in general. Go visit an art museum while high, you'll love it. I'll try to remember next time I have Lucy to listen to Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, that should be a beautiful experience.

    Haven't tried stravinsky yet, but Bartok or Messiaen on psychedelics are pretty fucking astounding

    Try his oldest stuff first. Stravinsky went through a number of stylistic periods with varying quality.

    That's the plan, I've got his entire collected works, I always listen to discographies chronologically. Normally I lean towards chopin/liszt/debussy when tripping and listening to western classical.

    I'm really picky with classical, but some of it is amazing. I'm a sucker for synchronicity and repetition. Ill check out Stravinsky, haven't heard too much of him - thanks.

    Listening to stravinsky won't get you much synchronicity or repetition, but its awesome. I did attend the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, and it was incredible. I know Bartok's work, and I'll be sure to try it soon. Thanks.

    Not a fan of Stravisnky. I've heard Rite of Spring...everyone has their taste.

    I love Airbag by Radiohead while tripping.

    For classical I'm more of a Bach fan.

    Bach is wonderful, but he lacks the weirdness I crave.

    Bach is definitely great while tripping, my favorite is probably the solo violin sonatas. Generally with western art music and psychedelics (or just in life) I favor either very modern composers (Bartok, Messiaen, Varese) or very old composers (Bach, Biber, Gesualdo).

    some of bach is very traditional-religious in nature. but lots is also WAY out there both in distance and sheer massive dripping genius

    I'm convinced Bach's music was so infinitely mind blowing that it opened up some kind of time rift that will forever limit the progression of music to a level that is lower than that of his own.

    im not sure its even logically possible to have a grater musical being; it would violate some abstract a priori thing and nulllfity existence or something. when you listen to some of his fugues you cannot help but be moved by the existence of such a mind and our fortuitous luck that he was a musician.

    Bach is by far the best genius musical mind... possibly ever, but lots of his stuff is traditional. Did you know that while spending a weekend in jail, Bach composed something like 40 short fugues with no organ at all. That is an incredible feat.
