Your musical journeys to triphoria
So, have you recorded anything while wasted?
Last night, after several hits of quality weed, I recorded 70 mins of what can be described as ambient/trippy/psychedelic stuff. Parts of it sound awesome and there's absolutely NO friggin way I'd be able to create some of these sounds again, even if I tried. I'm actually sad I didn't have a total recall sort of recording.
It's almost ... art...
Maybe we should start sharing some of our "opuses" - if nothing else for LULz..
would you show yours if i show mine? 
thoughts?
I actually couldnt produce shit while I was using drugs. I've been clean for about 9 months and I've been able to make some decent stuff. It was probably because when I was using it was DXM, speed, mushrooms and extacy most of the time....cant write music when you are obliterated on DXM. glad I got clean.
Haven't done any 70 min opuses, but I've noticed better melodies from me whilst under the influence.
I have a track while totally blazed to all hell but it's unfinished and I doubt it's even worth sharing.
Should be interesting to hear what people post.
recorded ambient EP with a friend in one hour in one take (ep length 45 minutes) other 15 minutes were spent on mixing/mastering and naming it. all of it while tripping balls on significant amount of shrooms if anyone cares to hear it:
04. Black Lightning Project - Everything Is Nice by Black Lightning Project
Weed seems to always give me additional insight and resolves some creative barries if used sporadically but is however absolutely terrible for mixing/mastering or if used daily.
as always moderation is the key
I am useless if I produce while drinking. Never really tried with any other substance.
I don't remember the last time I wrote a melody without being at least a little stoned, but that's the only time I work high. Producing is fucking impossible unless I'm sober
getting high + guitar = win
Never been influenced by any drugs, besides alcohol when producing, but how on earth do you stay awake?

One area it can be useful is listening to a mixdown and maybe making some slight adjustments, everything is easier to hear
Just downloaded this. Really awesome material you came up with. Listened to the first few songs and they are putting me in deep space. What equipment were you using?

"highly" recommended and intended for your more "open minded" momentsDirect recording last night, an LP that can be described by the title. When you're ready - just sit back and enjoy the journey from start to finish. It gets really REALLY interesting at times, and I have no idea how I ended up in that space... but I was glad to have visited... It's very experimental and meant to be enjoyed for what it is - don't try to find structure, meaning, sense. Oh and clicks/pops are un-intentional but whatever.. Style: Ambient/Chill/ScareFx/Psychedelica/WTF p.s. my first "publicly-released" track/album (maybe it's a good thing) |

Pot has an "anti-ADD" effect on me where it will make me focus intensly on one thing and make it very hard for me to become distracted (which is odd because I hear pot distracts people). But I will get in the zone and what I notice is I wind up taking things far too much to extremes.
Kinda like kysora said though its good if I'm trying to write melodies (which is rare lol) but when it comes to producing if I'm high I just can't get anything done. I focus on one thing so intensely untill it becomes this ultra cool bit of nothingness, and then everything else is just left incomplete.
Back when I was doing opiates though they killed my creativity more than anything. Opiates numb you up from feelings so much and just flatten everything out imo. Speed is a totally different story though lol. Its like pot how you take things to the extreme but "extreme" isn't even really the word to describe it. I've done more drugs than I should though in my lifetime and now I try to keep my body clean except for the weekly toke or so.

I work on all my music 85% of the time stoned. It's like an instinct, if I smoke, the first thing I do is open my DAW. I can keep working until I get burned out, or run out of weed, or my ears start to fatigue. Writing melodies is an art form for me, and it especially enhances my ability to write a beautiful chord progessions and melodies. I suppose it is a bit of a crutch, but I'm very happy at my pace of improvement and technical grasp of production so I'm not very worried about it.

Why? Theres no real difference between some prescription drugs and street drugs. Like oxycodone is basically legal heroin when people are filtering the pills and shooting the shit.
The pharm problem in US makes more sense than anything actually. These meds can be ordered extremely fast and cheap from a variety of websites on the internet. Certain drugs can even be ordered legally from within the US and they write you a script right at the website no questions asked.
So getting them into the country is easy. One site in particular half-price meds ships fvckn heroin into the US along with benzos, ketamine and anything else you need. Set up a proxy, get a bum to open you a POBOX and you're good to import lbs of this shit a day. I know various people who have made a killing doing this too. I'm not into selling drugs anymore cause I'm too afraid of getting busted but at one point I was selling steroids I was getting off the internet and making in the thousands every week. Theres a TON of profit involved if you consider the prices some of these meds are manufactured at.
And how is it "infantile"? Unless you mean the people taking DXM then yeh I understand that. People "robotripping" and what not thats definitely for the young kids to do. I hate the way robotussin makes me feel even when I have a cold so I couldn't imagine what trippn on it feels like. Its apparently like a k-hole but I'd rather just to ketamine instead.
As far as getting addicted I wouldn't be too judgemental. I've been addicted to prescription meds myself and it is surely not an easy habit to just stop. The physical wds are one thing, but the mental wds are fucking hell on earth to deal with. And all you have to do is just pop a pill everyday for a few months for them to develop. Stop taking them and the cold/hot flashes start, sweating, shaking, diahrea, horrific anxiety, gooseflesh, headaches, stomach aches, nausea, vomiting, depression, anhendonia (in ability to feel joy), that was the hardest addiction for me to beat personally.
Coming off a speed habit will leave your mind spinning, but you eventually resent the drug and its easy not to go back. With opiates its a different ball game. And benzos too. I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy. So anytime I see someone struggling with an addiction the last thing I think about doing is getting all judgemental about it. There are far worst things to be in this world than a drug addict imo. Like would you rather be a sober asshole your entire life or a polite drug addict? I find the sober asshole a worse choice.
Idk man but this is one main reason I want to work with people that have substance abuse problems and emotional disorders. We are living in a very stressful world these days and more people are hooked on opiates than ever before. Thats a fact. Opiate use keeps getting worse and worse as years go by. People use them to relieve stress and they work, some people stay on them their entire lives. And only a very small percent are the type to actually rob and steal or use compulsively till the OD. Most of them are normal productive citizens like you and me. Shit I know an owner of a huge construction company who's been addicted to oxy for the last 20 years. Guy gets up and does his job everyday, hes a man of integrity and has manners... but he happens to be addicted to opiates. I definitely do not judge people like that.
I think theres far worse problems you can have in this world. But I still genuinely feel bad for people struggling with addictions. Its not a moral failing at all imo if they had any idea what that shit was going to do to their brains I doubt the majority of addicts would have ever used in the first place. All it takes is a bit of naivety and ignorance, then bam you're hooked for a long time. And coming off some of those drugs will make you want to die everyday you are alive and sober for months and even years afterwards. Its really a horrible thing for anyone to deal with imo, and the problem is definitely real and out of control right now.

I was laughing as I was reading a lot of your points you bring up some great shit.
I have no idea what the UK is like and just that one comment you made about advertisements in the US sickens me. You are absolutely right about drs sitting there with pen above paper ready to write out whatever you ask them for. And EVEN WHEN they know their dealing with a patient with addiction problems a good share do the same exact thing.
I've even had it happen to me. Just to think, I would actually go into the office and ASK my doctor, (just like to commerical says) and he would literally right down whatever I needed no questions asked.
Sometimes he'd just give me a breif warning about the meds like "take the same dose everyday and do not stop taking it unless you call me first". I mean so many of drs are in fact pill pushers. Although I was never sure about the perks they get for doing it. I actually had no idea they got perks for writing prescriptions thats extremely disturbing to think about (I mean EXTREMELY lol). It does make perfect sense though. And I hear this shit everyday in one way or another it seems.
A girl was just telling me the other day she went to see her dr cause she was having problems sleeping, he tried writing her 3 fvckn prescriptions for it in the same day, one for depression, one for anxiety (a benzo), and then he gave her ambien for sleep finally. He told her the antidepressant would naturally help her stablize her sleep cycle lol. Wtf! I know that some of those anti-ds actually cause insomnia too, like lexapro. The US really is in for it man eventually our greed is going to get the best of us.
I don't really know anything about the politics going on behind this shit it just isn't right whats going on. I think the statistic now too is that 1 out of every 4 americans is on a pharmaceutical of some sort. I mean if you drive to Brooklyn I hear its the worst with this shit. But supposively in Brooklyn within like a few miles radius theres over 40 drs and a lot of them are known to be loose as shit. I hear about people driving all the way from south jersey up to Brooklyn just cause the drs are known to prescribe w/e you ask for.
I have no idea how we're ever going to fix this problem but I really don't think we ever may.
I remember hearing somewhere (I think it was a PBS documentary on drug marketing) that the U.S. spends more money on ads for pharmaceuticals than the rest of the world combined.
