Psytrance / Psychedelic Trance / Goa / Forest

[Ryche]

Anybody here listen to or familiar with psytrance?


Psychedelic trance and its associated lifestyles, art, imagery etc draw heavily from fractal art as such. I was curious if we had some listeners here on the board

sure, bsically its my kind of sound good for programming, not soooooooooooo good for dancing

[Chillheimer]

definitely one goa-fraggle here!
 
not just listening but also producing..

erm.. nope.. together with d&b its the best for dancing!! at least for me.
I just had the best 4 days with loooooots of dancing at antaris-festival 2 weeks ago..  
maybe you just havent yet found the right sug-genre of goa for your taste. my first party was with some utterly hardcore 180bpm, which I left really soon and stopped me from goa parties for the next 4 years. luckily I gave it another chance.. when I came across ace ventura, protonica, I was sold..

though I think there's far too little fractals at most festivals besides some (mostly lame) standard visuals with boring 90s zooms...

i am still working on improving my vj capabilities
i am making huge progress lately by faster incorporating shadertoy scripts into the vj mixer software, so i am just using realtime for my follow upcoming vj setups

@Chillheimer

w00t!! Always good to meet another from the tribe.. Nice track. Very old school goa... 

Progressive Psy artists like Ace Ventura are the best introduction to the genre. I do a fair amount of flyer / poster / album art for the psytrance scene. Will share later.

The 180bpm hi-tec makes sense only in the absolute peak of a trip. Very tough to take more than 3-4 hrs of that.. I personally love the dark, forest sounds.. Some excellent work happening in this space.... Super music -> https://www.mixcloud.com/t0x1cPain/va-emotive-theatre-2014-full-album-mix-dark-forest-psytrance-vantara-vichitra-rec/



@ CKleinhuis

Yeah this really works for programming / design.. Keeps you in the zone for hours without any distractions. Though i must admit dancing to psytrance is the best, esp if its in an open air party. 12-18 hrs of dancing to psytrance is almost like being born again LOL!

This release takes the sounds of everyday life into deeper realms of the psyche. Featuring tracks by Yark Mandala (India), Dar Kapo (India), Elf De La Nooi (U.A.E.), and S.O.N.R (India). Mastered by Monno @ Bimmelim Soundlabs, with paintings by Viraag Desai and digital design by Yidam.
