7 minute Psytrance Documentary

Kat Kovaleff's ethnography for UCSC anthro class: "Documenting Culture."

Sound-tracks:
Shpongle - Beija Flor
Mr. Peculiar - Remote Viewing

The words from the scrolling intro:
"Within the intricately syncopated pulses and biotically textured vibrations created by ever more complicated methods of sound synthesis, we are honing the art of trance into de-collapsing vistas of organized shamanic sciences and psychosomatic alchemy.
To be fully exposed to heartbeat of technological music is to be direct witness to the astounding presence of life and participant in it's aeonic momentum."

Who ever said that there are no more hippies or flower children? This reminds me of the sixties and early seventies, when I was a kid.. only better!! As the late great Dr Timothy Leary said, "Tune-In, Turn-On, Drop-Out!!"

Gotta find the local psy-scene.. Alberta, Canada?? help...lat'r Buzz

[teleomorph]

@BuzzDyou Not sure about Alberta but there's activity all around Canada. A few festivals too, such as Entheos, the next one being in 6 months: entheosgathering. com/home [remove space in html address]

@cedtala also, Star Sounds Orchestra did some cute classical remixes on an LP called 'Let's Mozart'

[FrigidTundra]

Not to put down Psy (especially DarkPsy!!), but the 'rigidity' is a weak argument to stand on.

Any fool can face-roll a DJ program and create a song.

The problem with most electro-composers is that they don't see past the sound modulations. They're too busy trying to change the sound of their overly simple beat, and forget about harmony altogether!

The top 10% electro is awesome.

The 11-20% has a hard time keeping up with the bottom 10% of orchestral.

The other 80% should leave it to the pros.

@chemicalcrew8 then you are saying that EVERYTHING is fake, it's all chems working.. happiness, euphoria, rage, depression... it's all brain chemicals, chemicals in the food... don't be such a hater, let people do drugs, and instead of asking for people to just stop doing them, ask for the government to educate people on drugs, their REAL effects and risks, not just pussy fagot political "just say no" propaganda. PLUR ☮

@BuzzDyou go to india man...

@horrorbusiness9 Anyone who has been on youtube long enough knows that no popular video is safe from stupid arguments that all boil down to "stop liking what I don't like!" in the long run. The comment section is like a war zone.

@teleomorph There's also a good reason as to why Infected Mushroom's 2000 Album "Classical Mushroom" has the word "Classical" in it's title ;o)

[fractal26]

@BuzzDyou there is a very small psy scene here in edmonton during the winter there is a psy show once a month and during the summer there are a few festivals like Astral Harvest :) the monthly shows are put on by some local guys they go by the name git nice productions on facebook check them out ive had a blast every time i have gone

[Perbear213]

@BuzzDyou I live in Calgary and there's virtually no big psytrance and goa following. It's all dubstep. I say we make a goa revolution!

[skratchwon]

Does anyone know the name of the track at the beginning? And any good psy break tracks or dj's?

[askadetra]

why don't they mention what psytrance is a hybrid of? it is a hybrid of goa trance, industrial and space rock. it is characterized by dry sounds, funky bass line, laser kicks, less melody than goa trance, it also includes breakbeats and is more underground than goa trance and one more thing - psytrance does not use indian melodies like goa trance.
