Description

"In Inner Sound, author Jonathan Weinel traverses the creative influence of altered states of consciousness, from the synaesthetic assaults of neon raves to a mushroom trip on a tropical island in virtual reality. Beginning with a discussion of consciousness, the book explores how our subjective realities may change during states of dream, psychedelic experience, mediation, and trance. Taking a broad view across a wide range of genres, Inner Sound draws connections between shamanic art and music, electronic dance music, film, and virtual reality applications."--cover;Introduction -- 1.
