about

Psychedelic electroacoustic music based on altered states of consciousness research.

Entoptic Phenomena in Audio by Jon Weinel, is the product of his research regarding electroacoustic music and altered states of consciousness. 'Entoptic Phenomena' are the visual spiral and funnel patterns perceived in hallucinatory experiences, identified by psychologist Heinrich Klüver during his mescaline trials of the 1960s. Here the concept of rotating funnel patterns is explored through electroacoustic sound, and fused with bass atmospheres, organic drones and shattered flashcore rhythms.

Side A is based on Timothy Leary's 'seven levels of energy consciousness' discussed in the Politics of Ecstasy. Night Breed is a dark, damp, bubbling organic track; psychedelic sub-bass drone atmospheres at 190bpm, based on 'cellular level consciousness'. Surfer Stem is a hi-tech flashcore hallucination; a William Gibson inspired piece set on a synthetic beach in virtual reality, based on Leary's 'atomic electronic level consciousness'.

Side B explores the idea of 'entoptic phenomena' (visual patterns seen in hallucinations), with the compositions structured around the idea of hallucinatory experiences. Swamp Process is a murky organic piece, while Entoptic Phenomena takes the listener on the auditory equivalent of an intense DMT trip.

Limited to 200 copies on transparent orange vinyl. October 2014.
