Aneros and music

@euphemistic Yes! I had this a few nights ago! Angels and Airwaves and Mike Oldfield did it for me. Like a pre-orgasmic feeling building up in my head, and I could really 'feel' the music emotionally.I do nothing but A-less, not sure if it's linked.

Music from the Renaissance, when people were taught to read music as well as print so when Palestrina wrote this in the sixteenth century many weren't listening to this but reading it and subvocalising the 5 voice part music.
I like this music after a session of either ksmo or Aneros and when I've been high I often hear it echo in my head for some time later and my subconscious creating something similar. But just listening to it completely sober has a similar effect to binaural beats and isochronic tones for putting you into a meditative state, when you're high the music will take on a whole different meaning and just listening to it will expand your mind.

The renaissance was about rediscovering ancient ideas, ancient meaning +-600BC or AD
and see what an amazing influence that had, perhaps there are more ancient ideas/knowledge from _+12000 BC.....?The Atlantians;)

I put the jazz music on from Gran Turismo. That is all.

Congrats @euphemistic. I was about to making a similar thread very soon, LOL 😉Anyway, for me, these are the sounds/music I mostly use as a background for my sessions....both for Anerossing, as well as just when lying there, on my couch/bed, meditating (which I do a lot, these days, to ease some stress from work)

And a mix of nature sounds like ocean waves, birds singing, thunderstorms with rain, Depeche Mode's "Songs Of Faith And Devotion", COLD's "13 Ways To Bleed On Stage", "A Different Kind Of Pain" and "Year Of The Spider", as well as their acoustic stuff, and the "TITANIC" music soundtrack. Music from "The Great Beauty" (Italian movie), "The Tree Of Life", some U2, Alice In Chains "Sap", self-titled 1995 album, and the very last recordings with Layne Staley (those lyrics, like that of "Nutshell", "Over Now", "Get Born Again" and "Long Gone Day" (by Mad Season), always get me everytime).
All these, always get me in a very pretty good meditative and relaxing state of mind.....in peace with myself, so to speak.
I choose what to listen to, depending on the mood of the day.

@Ehm, I love Gregorian chants with men's and boy's voices but have not been able to find them when I searched. Da Palestrina is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the reference.

@Staley89_IT, I loved the music video with the faces.

@smudgefish, I know what you mean about Oldfield, Tubular Bells.

I forgot to mention Ravel; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RVb0lFqRULs

Here's Satie; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Xm7s9eGxU

Arvo Part; https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL0D96D5113A5D23DD&v=v0uYpYHOYB8

Philip Glass; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XENvMGyy4J8

And Jeff Buckley; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e4ohxpv5CQs

These are my current favorites but there are many others. I've found that listening to music gives shape to my otherwise chaotic emotions. Just read an article called "Music and Physics" by Jonathan Powles; https://theconversation.com/music-and-physics-the-connections-arent-trivial-8188. "Music is a tool for grasping the order and sense between what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future...And to me, that sounds suspiciously like a definition of physics."

And

"...small children play with blocks and toys to learn the fundamental concepts of space; by contrast, by singing and clapping, they play with music to learn about time."

@euphemistic yeah, that's a very wonderful video, indeed. Also, I agree with your statement "that listening to music gives shape to my otherwise chaotic emotions", and that statement by Jonathan Powles:"Music is a tool for grasping the order and sense between what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future...And to me, that sounds suspiciously like a definition of physics."



Both of them, definitely applies to me, as well, specially when I listen to Alice In Chains, COLD, Depeche Mode "darker stuff", like "Black Celebration", "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" and "Ultra" (which I regularly do, everyday, when going to work and come back home), helps me mellowing out any emotional build up that I have and that I can't let it out so easily, and they also help me give me inspiration.
Now, for me, these are the most stand-out tracks by my favorite aforementioned bands that I BLAST in my car:


Alice In Chains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGNEy3x1p38

@euphemistic Glad you like it, it isn't actually Gregorian but Renaissance and from an esthetic pov a great improvement from the monotonous middle ages. That said there's a book by Michael Hutchinson called Mega Brain and he talks about the many applications of sound/light/movement etc on the body and the brain.
There was this researcher called Tomatis who discovered that the high frequency overtones and sounds from Gregorian chants had therapeutic and energetic effects. This corresponds with sites in ancient Turkey where sounds were used for healing certain afflictions.
Anyway, so I don't think Gregorian should be listened to in quite the same manner as the polyphony from the renaissance that, true to classical ideals, was also about beauty(as well as using the music of the spheres to put you into an altered state)
The same (Pythagorean) mathematics was used to design the Gothic cathedrals giving the same pleasing proportions visually as Western music has applied to perfect fourths/fifths and the like

@Ehm, interesting. I've never studied music so don't know the history or theory behind it. But "I know what I like" 🙂

Thanks for the references and information.

@euphemistic Music used to have a much stronger link to the metaphysical, in ancient cultures the shaman was also the tribes musician, they would use chanting and rhythmic patterns to go into altered states and commune with the ancestors.
The early western music was also strongly connected to the metaphysical, so like the shamen it was the monks and the illuminate that were preoccupied with music.
'Music is God's gift to man the only art of heaven given to earth'

Modern music still uses some of the principles related to the metaphysical but doesn't understand why, the connection is severed and thus doesn't provide the salubrious effects it used to.

What I like about music is that you can hear time has a certain quality to it, if you could touch time I'm sure 1585 would have a very particular feel to it.... this music is like a snapshot of time and a fractal of everything that happened in that time, some call it Zeitgeist and that's really what it is, the spirit that infuses time with a certain character...

I wonder what some Pink Floyd would do.

Guys,

Musical accompaniment to Anerosessions has been noted by many members as a valuable asset to their practice. This topic has come up frequently and several years ago I compiled a synopsis of members suggestions for listening during their practice sessions. You can view that list in the thread -> Aneros Aural Accompaniment - WIKI listings?.
Here are a couple more threads with additional suggestions -> The Aneros Audio Experiment & The Erotic Audio Challenge, happy listening.
Good Vibes to You !

@Searching4Bliss I was thinking the same. Comfortably Numb might trigger some pretty intense rushes.
