Music to listen to while tripping on acid

There are different genre of music but when the acid hit you hard, we have a short playlist of top musics to listen. During an acid trip, you experience a moment of creativity. Many musicians have successful sound tracks inspired by LSD or and acid trip. An example is “ACID RAIN” by CHANCE THE RAPPER who admitted on MTV that the drug inspired his album Acid Rap. In his track “Acid Rain,” where he raps, “Kicked off my shoes, tripped acid in the rain.” We deduce he actually experienced and acid trip, who know.

The idea of incorporating music into psychedelic therapy isn’t new; it was a point of great interest to music therapists in the 60s. A brilliant study was carried out by Dr. Mendel Kaelen to give more grounds to this idea. The purpose of the experiment was to combine the influence of music and psychedelic drugs in human. By doing so Kaelen and his research team tried to come up with the perfect playlist. This experiment was carried out to elaborate studies on psychedelic drugs and consider how they can be use therapeutically.

Therapeutic Experiment Combining LSD and MUSIC

In the study, ten volunteers listened to five instrumental tracks on two occasions. On the first, they were given a placebo and on the second, they were given LSD.

What music is suitable for judging emotional responses on acid? The participants listened to two different playlists, the “emotional potency” of which were balanced based on earlier assessments from a separate group of people. The selected tracks were among those judged most likeable and least familiar. Dr. Kaelen explained that familiarity with a track could influence people’s emotional response. If the music is too familiar, it can reduce the ability to have a new experience. This is because you’ve already had an experience with that song before in your life.

Experimental Playlist

The resulting playlists both include ambient and neo-classical tracks by artists Brian McBride, Ólafur Arnalds, Arve Henriksen, and Greg Haines. The participants in the emotional response study were asked to rate how emotionally affected they were by the music. The researchers found that participants reported a significantly higher emotional response to the music when they took LSD, and that emotions related to wonder, transcendence, tenderness and power were particularly increased.

A majority of the volunteers pointed Haines, a British composer as their favorite in the playlist.
