Ecstasy, Expression, and Change: The Spiritual and Political Power of Festivals | EP17 | with Chiara Baldini

In this episode, the guest, Chiara Baldini, delves into the role of festivals as spaces for countercultural expression and personal transformation. Chiara discusses the dual nature of festivals as both entertainment venues and sites for deeper societal change, where participants can recharge and become more aware of ways to improve reality. She explores the historical context of countercultural festivals like Woodstock, which were pivotal in promoting revolutionary ideas and values.  Chiara reflects on the 1960s counterculture movements, their political and spiritual dimensions, and their lasting impact on contemporary festival culture. She provides insights into the evolution of these movements and their ongoing influence on modern-day festivals like Boom Festival. Additionally, Chiara touches on the historical significance of the Dionysian cults in ancient Greece and their techniques of ecstasy, which included dance, music, and psychotropic substances. She discusses how these practices were led by women and maintained certain traditions despite the patriarchal context of their times. This episode offers a rich exploration of the transformative potential of festivals, the intersection of spirituality and politics, and the ongoing relevance of ancient ecstatic practices in contemporary culture. -------- Chiara Baldini is a raver, researcher, author, and freelance curator from Florence (Italy). She investigates the evolution of the ecstatic cult in the West, particularly in Minoan Crete,  ancient Greece and Rome, contributing to anthologies, psychedelic conferences and festivals. She was the program curator of Boom Festival's cultural area Liminal Village from 2010 to 2023. In 2015 and 2016 she also set up and curated ConTent, the first cultural area in Fusion Festival, Germany. She has recently co-curated an anthology called “Psychedelic Mysteries of the Feminine” investigating the intersection between the feminine principle and altered states of consciousness. She is currently a PhD candidate at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in the Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness program. She lives between Italy and Portugal and she expresses her deep love for music by often playing as DJ Clandestina.  --------- Viewing recommendations:  Chiara Baldini - Countercultural Festivals; Then & Now at Breaking Convention 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npah4vQCrb0 Dionysus: Ritual, Rave & Revolution  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjKkmvDmI67RidARHR0-r0sbh2Z8FbjFt Follow Chiara:  Academia: https://independent.academia.edu/chiarabaldini Instagram: @iamalwayschiara Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chiara.baldini.9862 Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/clandestina-2-0 Book: https://www.innertraditions.com/books/psychedelic-mysteries-of-the-feminine Follow The Psychedelic Couch: @thepsychedelicouch

Ospite della 121° puntata di Illuminismo Psichedelico è la ricercatrice, curatrice, e dj Chiara Baldini. Un saggio di Chiara Baldini, intitolato "Tramonto al Tempio. I festival psichedelici e gli antichi culti misterici" era contenuto nella raccolta "La scommessa psichedelica", che curai qualche anno fa per Quodlibet. In questa puntata ripercorriamo un po' quanto scritto in quel saggio, partendo dalla lunga esperienza di Chiara di curatrice del Liminal Village del Boom Festival, il più importante festival psytrance europeo, nonché dalle sue osservazioni su sovrapposizione e differenze tra gli antichi culti misterici di area mediterranea e la tradizione contemporanea dei festival a base di musiche altamente ritmate pensate per essere ascoltate under effect (come il nome psytrance suggerisce esplicitamente). Nella ricerca di Chiara non manca uno sguardo al femminile e al ruolo delle donne nell'ambiente della psytrance, ancora più patriarcale di quanto non si pensi. A riguardo qualche anno fa Chiara Baldini ha curato un'antologia "Psychedelic mysteries of the feminine", che si spera possa essere disponibile anche in italiano.

FUTURE FOSSILS

This week marks the beginning of Embodied Ethics in The Age of A.I., a six-week online course led by writer and teacher Joshua Schrei, host of The Emerald Podcast.  This course is, in large part, inspired by an episode he wrote last year called “So You Want To Be A Sorcerer in The Age of Mythic Powers” — exploring the mythic dimensions of tech innovation and calling for a reclamation of initiatic mystery schools in order to provide us with the requisite self-mastery to wield tools like generative language models. I'm honored to be part of the all-star crew lined up to co-facilitate this course and as part of our pre-game sync and prep, I met with Josh to talk about the forces we've unleashed and how to live responsibly in a world where tech is, in Arthur C. Clarke's words, now undoubtedly “indistinguishable from magic.” We explore the need to pace ourselves and anchor novelty production in ecologies of accountability; what it means to raise kids well amidst the A.I. revolution; and why humans cannot seem to stop invoking power and powers greater than our understanding.If you enjoy this conversation, join us — and several dozen other awesome people — from 4/18-5/16 to learn and grow together and answer the call to better ourselves in service of this great historical unfolding!(Big big thanks to former Center for Humane Technology Innovation Lead Andrew Dunn, founder of The School of Wise Innovation, for everything you've done to help inspire and organize all of this…)Right after this course I will be in Denver for the 2024 ICON Future Human Conference and would love to see you there!  Use my link to grab yourself a conference pass and spend 5/16-5/19 with me and folks like Daniel Schmachtenberger, Marianne Williamson, Ken Wilber, Jeremy Johnson, Layman Pascal, and many more…✨ Support This Show & The Family It Feeds:• Subscribe on Substack or Patreon for COPIOUS extras, including private Discord server channels and MANY secret episodes• Make one-off donations at @futurefossils on Venmo, $manfredmacx on CashApp, or @michaelgarfield on PayPal• Buy the music on Bandcamp.

In this episode, Joe interviews Mike Margolies: community catalyst; conversation creator; Founder of Psychedelic Seminars; and Co-Founder and Co-Steward of the Global Psychedelic Society. The Global Psychedelic Society was created for all of the different psychedelic societies that have sprung up over the world to connect, share resources and information with each other, and be housed in a central hub so people can find them more easily. He talks about Frederic Laloux's book, "Reinventing Organizations," and modeling the GPS around the “Teal” concept of organization, where employees are encouraged to show up as their true, honest, and most powerful selves; where it's more about relationships than hierarchy; and more about embracing a mycelial – and psychedelic – way of thinking and interacting with each other. He breaks down how this way of thinking has progressed from the earliest ways of organizing, and discusses its three main principles of self-governance, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose. He then talks about the Boom Festival: its “Liminal Village,” its inventive Kosmicare harm reduction program, and how drugs are not as decriminalized as people think in Portugal; and Burning Man: how it all came together for him this year when he didn't even want to go, his experiences with the rain and a friend's dreams warning of floods, what he learned from the ghost of a lost friend, and how that resulted in the concept of Batman doing a striptease to Seal's “Kiss From a Rose.” Is the Joker simply a manifestation of Batman's shadow material and his desire to be a hero?

This week I have one of the most vulnerable, personal, and profound conversations ever shared on the show — and it's one that speaks directly to the deepest and most persistent themes addressed on Future Fossils. Android Jones is one of the world's pre-eminent digital painters and an utterly singular and inimitable visionary artist. He's also a loving husband and father of three, an old friend (even if we don't talk as often as I'd like, or as perhaps we should), and someone I regard as a torch-bearer along the paths of both professional uncompromising creativity and openly psychedelic parenting. And now he leads the way in helping me and his planet-wide fanbase learn how to process grief and rise from the ashes of loss like a badass phoenix…A few weeks ago, the barn he inherited from his father — in which he kept all of his creative technology and projects — burned to the ground. Here is the intense and vulnerable two-hour conversation we had about his loss and the spiritual transformations he has undergone since. For the first time ever, Android gives a play-by-play recounting of what happened that fateful morning and how he has grown in the aftermath of losing his “dragon horde” of technology, art, and personal records.  And we explore the science and philosophy and esoteric interpretation of what it means to grow beyond the envelope of the human organism into our “extended phenotypes” of technological augmentation — and then to lose it all in a single incandescent moment, laid bare by an Act of God to face the world with sudden and intense rawness.This is a powerful, one, folks.  I'm honored to share it with you…(Big thanks to Lucid News for inspiring me to do this. You can find a very, very tightly-edited transcript of this discussion on their website.)Editor's Note: I mention a passage from William Irwin Thompson's The American Replacement in Nature in which I misquote him as speaking on “prophets and pastoralists” when in fact he wrote about “mystics and moralists.”  You can hear the correct quote in this track from my 2016 Boom Festival performance, which plays at the end of this episode:"The moralist tends to think the laws of God are more on his side than on his enemy's, so he will try through faith and religion and the exercise of ritual to get God to settle down with him and go along with his way of life. The mystic, however, is not a moralist, for motion, complexity, and an angelic-demonic ambiguity in which one's enemy is also a part of a divine manifestation in history are all part of a cosmic life on the other side of the fence. Home means a lot to moralists, but the mystic is society's alien and is not allowed to have a home smaller than the universe. Any time he tries to settle for less, to settle down and set up fences, God appears as the moving whirlwind."- William Irwin Thompson✨ Support Future Fossils:Subscribe anywhere you go for podcastsSubscribe to the podcast PLUS essays, music, and news on Substack or PatreonBuy my original paintings or commission new workBuy my music on Bandcamp (they take 15%)This conversation continues with lively and respectful interaction every single day in the members-only Future Fossils Facebook Group. Join us!I'm also ISO moderators interested in helping steward the Discord server so I can release it into the wilds as a fan-operated platform.

Today I speak with Marc Aixalà, an author and psychologist practicing in Barcelona, whose work sits at the intersection of psychotherapy, altered states and the facilitation of psychedelic integration. Having originally worked as a Telecommunications Engineer, Marc went on to become a Licensed Health Psychologist, Psychotherapist and Holotropic Breathwork facilitator, and he served as a team leader and trainer in emergency psychological assistance at Boom Festival through the Kosmicare harm reduction program. Since 2013 he has coordinated support services at the International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service (ICEERS), and he worked on the first-ever medical trial on the use of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, a study chronicled in the 2018 documentary, “Magic Medicine.” During his time at ICEERS, he provided integration psychotherapy sessions for people going through challenging situations after experiencing transformative non-ordinary states of consciousness. This work led him to develop theoretical models of intervention which I'm excited to say he has shared in the publication of his new book: Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness. Tracing the evolution of psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration research from the 1960s to the present, this book offers different models of integration and practical therapeutic techniques, and it documents Marc's real-world observations on the deep work of healing and self-discovery. Recorded on 15th Nov 2022.

Paleontologist-Futurist Michael Garfield is devoted to helping navigate our age of accelerating weirdness and helping cultivate the curiosity and play we'll need to thrive in it. As host and producer of both Future Fossils Podcast & The Santa Fe Institute's Complexity Podcast, Michael acts as interlocutor for a worldwide community of artists, scientists, and philosophers — a practice that feeds his synthetic and transdisciplinary "mind-jazz" performances in the form of essay, music, and fine art. Standard-bearer for a new generation of boundary-defying scholars, Michael refuses to be enslaved by a single perspective, creative medium, or intellectual community, walking through the walls between academia and festival culture, theory and practice — speaking and performing everywhere from Moogfest to Burning Man, SXSW to Boom Festival, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia to Long Now's Ignite Talks to The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.Follow him on Substack, Medium, and Twitter (or join his book club on Patreon) for a kaleidoscopic avalanche of explorations into human-technology co-evolution, the pre- and post-history of creativity and communication, and other soulful and subversive futurism. Subscribe to his music on Spotify and Bandcamp and follow him on Instagram for clips from works in progress.In this episode, Michael Garfield and Beth Weinstein discuss …▶ How the perception of organisms plays into their evolution▶ The relationship between mind, communication and the unfolding of biological form in time▶ Michael's psychedelic influence and how it has shaped his scholarly and artistic expression▶ Thinking about the brain's electrical activity as “weather”▶ Sitting in the liminal zone during psychedelic experiences, and how Michael tries to anchor the insights that come into his eyes open, waking experience▶ Studying ways that humans use certain things: “use webs”▶ How capitalism is founded in the deeper logic of biophysics, growth and the scaling of networks▶ The idea that the work of culture and knowledge production flows as an underground river through repeated waves of colonization▶ How we are under existential assault from the institutions we've created as a way of trying to shelter ourselves from the ravages of an unpredictable world▶ Civilizations and their institutions as life forms in their own right ▶ How in becoming more “porous” through psychedelic use you are interrogating the boundary of self and other and essentially issuing an invitation for the “other” to enter you ▶ “Fugitivity” as defining this time▶ How we need to preserve the wilderness at all costs, including the wilderness of the “uncategorizable self”▶ How the world is getting stranger and stranger and the surface area of our questioning now exceeds the surface area of our answering▶ Staying connected to simple things when you feel overwhelmed by the world▶ The relationship between mind and language ▶ How psychedelics give us experiences that elude or ability to communicate them and beckon us into more eloquent communicationMichael Garfield Links & Resources▶ Website: https://michaelgarfield.blogspot.com/▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelgarfield/▶ Substack:https://michaelgarfield.substack.com/▶ Twitter: https://twitter.com/michaelgarfield▶ Medium: https://michaelgarfield.medium.com/▶ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/michaelgarfield▶ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/46UT138ndv6ZAeDt0eO64h▶ Bandcamp: https://michaelgarfield.bandcamp.com/

Hey everybody! Episode 98 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Marc Aixalà. Marc is a psychotherapist and has worked in collaboration with a very good organization called ICEERS (International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service). ICEERS worked in collaboration with a large ayahuasca center where I worked for many years (the Temple of the Way of Light) doing research on the therapeutic benefits of ayahuasca. We share a mutual friend, Irene Perez (who I interviewed in episode 36), who was doing the research on the ground for ICEERS. Marc recently published a book called Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness. It was great for me to sit down and talk with Marc as he is doing really good work in this field. As this emerging field of psychedelic therapy becomes more common, voices like Marc and resources such as his book are a vital part of how this work will be integrated and accepted into society. I hope and trust you all will get a lot out of this interview and the wisdom Marc shares.

A self-proclaimed tomboy, Filipa Lazary always aspired to be like her older brother and enjoyed activities that were normally reserved for boys. However, ballet was also a passion of hers as well as music and dancing and so while growing up she learned to integrate these masculine and feminine traits of her personality. Filipa studied at the Lisbon Conservatory from the age of 6 until 16. At 16, Filipa felt like she needed to make a choice: what am I going to do and how am I going to sustain myself? Coming from a family of engineers, Filipa decided to choose tech and then went on to study Computer Science at the Lisbon Technical Institute. Filipa started her corporate career as Product Manager at Ericsson, went on to work at Celtel International, the Vodafone of Africa, and continued her journey at T-Mobile, where she spent the final 3 years of her 12-year long corporate career. In 2006 Filipa moved to Amsterdam and was absorbed by the city’s electronic music scene. She joined a local promoter in 2008 and helped organize underground parties in the city. From there, it was a small step up to the booth. Her deejaying career picked up fast and in 2012 she was already turning it up at Boom Festival and had her first gig at Burning Man in 2014, after which she was invited to perform at Tomorrowland in 2017. While producing electronic music, Filipa realized she was more creative with other creative people around and so she came up with the idea of starting her own artist residency after moving to Ibiza in 2012. Together with her partner Mark, she set up a local artist community, called ‘Labryinthia’, and they have been co-creating and living with other artists ever since. ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ → Here's what you will learn: ● How to face your biggest obstacle: yourself ● How to integrate the feminine and masculine aspects of your personality ● How to follow your heart ● How to honor your ancestral female lineage ● How to build a community of like-minded people ● How to stay true to yourself in a community setting ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ✔ PRE-ORDER THE NEW FEMALE LEADER BOOK: https://bit.ly/2P3vPLF ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ➤ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIocJbUSOXkV_lCWCwAOkKw?sub_confirmation=1 ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ➤ JOIN OUR MOVEMENT Website: www.newfemaleleaders.org Instagram: www.instagram.com/new.female.leaders LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/newfemaleleaders

JOOF Sessions 011 - BOOM Festival set from 2018 recreated. We're reliving this wonderful moment from when I played at BOOM Festival on The Alchemy stage in 2018. All sets have been played on BOOM radio and socials apart from mine that wasn't recorded due to a technical problem and since then has been the biggest request. The back story to this weeks theme: I'm having fun over these past few weeks thinking of new ideas to keep our different themes running each week and have another for you. Probably the most annoying trait from me for everyone is that I never record sets, its the biggest question that I always get asked after a gig. The music software I use to organise my music/playlists for the CDJ's (Rekordbox) saves all the set histories from the gigs that I've played, so let me replay a set that stood out for you so that you and others can relive that moment. ————————————————————————————————————————————— At these uncertain times the first thing you take care of is your family and I'm no different. Many of you are organically sending me personal messages of support wanting to send donations in return for live broadcasted sets, live Q&A's and basically lots of content to keep you entertained during these days of lockdown, so I will use this idea to keep my JOOF office family afloat. I'll add a donate button to all the content I post and all proceeds will be distributed amongst the JOOF office. You don't need to give anything at all as it's hard times for many out there, this is for the many that are asking, so don't feel pressure.

Do you know what to do if a friend or a stranger is having a difficult psychedelic experience? Sometimes called a “bad trip,” these challenging journeys can actually be catalysts for healing and personal transformation. The key is to keep them safe and trust their inner healer. Sounds simple right? In fact, it’s a profound art, which requires specialized training and can be incredibly personally rewarding. In this episode, I speak with Zendo Project Director Sara Gael. The Zendo Project is a part of MAPS (the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) that creates a safe space within festivals and similar gatherings for people having difficult psychedelic experiences. “Trip sitting,” as it is sometimes called, is a specific kind of peer support that follows four key principles: 1. Create a Safe Space 2. Sitting, Not Guiding 3. Talk Through, Not Down 4. Difficult is Not the Same as Bad On the show, we talk through each principle in detail. We also discuss the differences between trip sitting and psychedelic therapy, the state of the psychedelic renaissance, and how to create a community around compassionate care. Sara has been working with MAPS to coordinate psychedelic harm reduction since 2012. She also supports the MAPS clinical trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD in Boulder, and spent two years working as a Ketamine-assisted psychotherapist at the Boulder Integrative Psychiatric Healing Center. Sara maintains a private practice as a psychotherapist specializing in trauma, integration, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. You can be a safe container for someone having a difficult psychedelic experience, you just need to learn how to make yourself empty.

(“Do you guys believe in angels?”) DISCUSSED:Bringing Heart Back To Futurism. Technological Acceleration As Psychedelic Yoga. It Doesn’t Have To Be Either/Or. Scan Lovers. Can We Have Identity Politics In A Posthuman Society? Control or Liberation?Recorded at Boom Festival's Liminal Village, 16 August 2016 — here’s the official Boom Festival video of the talk.Originally published on my archive of public talks at bandcamp, this lecture became the basis for the essay series with the same name, which you can read on my Medium blog.Support The Show: patreon.com/michaelgarfieldTheme Music: “God Detector” by Evan Snyder feat. Michael GarfieldQUOTES:The future is an idea that is constructed socially, just as insanity is constructed socially.Most people spend most of their time thinking about what the world we’re moving into is going to look like, and very little time thinking about what it’s going to FEEL like. Who we are going to be, once all this transformative change has settled into a newly-constituted world age?It’s very telling that so much of the conversation around artificial intelligence is this notion that there’s some kind of demon emerging through the machine for us to encounter and to reckon with. That there is something we have to confront…something that may destroy us even as it transforms us. And I think that the problem here is that this is a half-chewed sandwich. We’re right there on the precipice of recognizing that we too are implicated in this global conspiracy, that we too are participating in the evolutionary process, and it falls upon us all to heal this alienation from the natural world – especially as it appears in non-human living systems and as it appears in non-human machine intelligences. And to recognize, first of all, that we are a function, we are an action, of Earth’s geology.It’s by failing to identify our own transcendental nature – our own identity beyond the opposites of subject and object, self and other, nature and culture, the made and the born – that renders the transcendental as something against which the limited identity of the egoic self has to be defended. And so we experience what could be regarded as the emergence of a planetary Christ child – as the internet swallows us and we awaken together into this planetary identity, we experience this as the intrusion of a Borg mind or Terminator: Rise of the Machines. We are capable in our understandably anxious paranoid delusion of seeing only the demonic manifestation, because it’s so much easier to reject this kind of radical transformation than it is to embrace it and to steer it. And I’m hoping that by the end of this talk you all feel slightly more empowered to participate in this future, and to participate in the growing number of people worldwide that recognize that it falls upon us as we birth a new age, to love what we create. And to infuse it with love and creativity, and not to reject this baby, but to raise it right.The mirror was believed to have terrifying spiritual properties: that a mirror can steal your soul, or that a vampire couldn’t be seen in a mirror because it had no soul. And likewise with the camera: anything that renders the previously unconscious as the conscious, anything that shows our selves to ourselves in a new way and thus creates an object out of what was originally the subject, a new “it” out of what was “I,” is going to appear to us as the monstrous.As we become more transparent to one another, we become more accountable to one another. And the accountability is in some sense the masculine structure that we see growing as the companion to the desire to share with one another as a sort of feminine urge for intimacy.As a river runs all possible ways down a mountain, the future will have more options for how to be a human being than before. It will have more ways for us to become partial and non-inclusive of the future than ever before.We are becoming more and more compatible with the machine and it is becoming more and more compatible with us, in the same way that we domesticated corn and corn domesticated us.We have this profound opportunity to invest as much beauty and love and creativity into this new space as we possibly can.

Joe talks to Maria and Helena on their personal backgrounds, how they got into Boom, research on recreational use, what harm reduction looks like, and what populations are underserved. Drug use is decriminalized in Portugal, and the focus of risk minimization has been useful in getting the population served versus putting people in prison. 3 Key Points: Kosmicare is a harm reduction and psychedelic emergency service starting at Boom music festival in Portugal. Working to support other events in Europe. Boom is in Portugal, where drugs are decriminalized and drug testing is legal. Drug policy has directly affected the number of emergencies that Boom has had. The Portuguese drug policy has resulted in fewer overdoses, drug-related deaths, and HIV infection. Other countries like the US should consider a drug reform with the current opioid crisis.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Kosmicare Kosmicare is a non-profit organization that looks to transform nightlife culture through humanistic, comprehensive and evidence-based policies and interventions They work toward a world where drugs can be used with liberty and wisdom Making festivals safe in Europe About Maria Psychologist, graduated in 1999 at University of Porto She started working in the field of problematic drug use Growing up in a difficult neighborhood was her purpose for getting into studying psychology and drug use She began focusing on recreational use Her younger brother was into the Electronic Dance scene and positioning himself with using substances She was interested in studying other motivations to use drugs than just using drugs to feed a problem She heard an announcement by MAPS in 2008 recruiting volunteers to do work in psychedelic emergency at Boom It was the perfect match considering her interest in psychology and drug use in recreational environments About Helena Helena is a Psychologist who was interested in drug use She wanted to have field experience, and she volunteered in a needle exchange program She began working for a harm reduction project to work in recreational settings that needed volunteers She became interested in the potential that drug checking has in the harm reduction strategy They are working toward a ‘drop-in’ where people can show up to a permanent space for drug checking and harm reduction The Numbers Over 20,000 people showed up to Kosmicare’s information session This year for the first time, Kosmicare had an HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) to identify LSD and pills They tested over 700 drug samples in 6 days Maria says half of the Boom population gets in contact with Kosmicare They serve 1% of the Boom population for psychedelic emergency (about 350 cases out of 35,000 attendees) The episodes usually have to do with psycho-spiritual situations versus just an emergency about the drug taken Psychedelic Emergencies Boom is a transformational festival that hosts attendees from over 50 countries Boom is different from Burning Man in that Boom is in Portugal which has a much more legal framework which helps with the services that can be offered Drug policy has directly affected the number of emergencies that Boom has Joe states that there are numbers of regulatory police at Burning Man Kosmicare is included in the entire setup of Boom, which helps reduce the number of scenarios that would cause an emergency at the festival, such as providing shaded areas all over It gets up to 43 degrees Celcius (108 Fahrenheit) But there is a water element so people can refresh themselves In the largest dance areas at the festival, they included medical emergency Teepees so attendees could be helped as quickly as possible Recreational Drug Use They did a survey on recreational drug use and most of the respondents said they use drugs in a beneficial way that doesn't interrupt their lives in a bad way Similarly with Boom attendees, most of them want to use harm reduction techniques so they have positive experiences and don't develop problems with their drug use Mat Southwell “drug users are calculated risk takers” “The legal framework has a terrible influence on people's relationship with drugs” - Helena Lessons Learned Maria says they have had many groundbreaking challenges In 2016 they had someone die on them while having a psychedelic emergency It made her really question why she was doing this Her first impression was that she was doing this work to save the inexperienced user She was caught off guard by the person who died because they were an experienced user and didn't taking unadulterated substances “People may go over the top for a wide variety of reasons, it was the biggest lesson I learned working for the Psychedelic Emergency services” - Maria It's hard to determine people's ability to calculate risks If the person had collapsed in front of an urban hospital in the city, the Hospital couldn't have done anything more than what they did at Kosmicare Collaborations Kosmicare has a collaborative relationship with Zendo MAPS was hired by Boom to direct the harm reduction services They use a lot of Stan Grof techniques for transpersonal psychology They are partnered with many other organizations in Europe that are trying to deliver the same type of psychedelic emergency and harm reduction services The Risks of Drug Policy Joe points out that there are so many festivals happening without these services The Rave Act prevents companies from attending festivals because it “harbors” drug use In Portugal, the fact that drug use is decriminalized, it opened up a legal framework around harm reduction Portugal is one of the few countries where drug checking is allowed by law The Portuguese drug policy has resulted in fewer overdoses, drug-related deaths, HIV infection, tuberculosis and other things Helena says that the US should rethink their drug policy considering the opioid epidemic In Portugal, there were only 12 overdose cases with heroin and opioids Portugal before the Drug Policy In the 80’s, there was a heroin epidemic, which had an epidemic of high infection rates and HIV. This motivated the policy change It was evident that prohibition was not working Usually when it affects only poor people, no one cares, but the fentanyl crisis is affecting all sorts of populations Links Website Facebook Check out this FREE online course, "Introduction to Psychedelics" About Maria Maria Carmo Carvalho, Kosmicare Manager, Boom Festival, Portugal, is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Psychology at the Catholic University of Portugal.

The creator of Exchangibition Bank, Like4Real, and the upcoming Solipmission installation at Burning Man, as well as countless concert posters and album covers, DADARA has been one of my favorite artists for a while - in no small part because of how his works combine deep, challenging investigations with light-hearted play. Click here to learn more about the Indiegogo Campaign for Solipmission We discuss his work's overarching philosophical explorations and our age of proliferating realities… • The breakdown of narrative and consensus reality in the virtual spaces of new media; • Virtual Reality as the new frontier, now that we’ve mapped the surface of the planet – and the potential problems of considering a space a “frontier” (especially if it is already inhabited); • The twin archetypes of the “Black Box” and the “Tabula Rasa” as they appear in science fiction, religion, technology, and philosophy; • The relationship between Virtual Reality and psychedelics, and the consideration of VR as a psychedelic in its own right; • What replaces narrative structure in VR storytelling, and how it relates to neuromarketing, cybernetics, and mind control; • How humankind is struggling to maintain coherence in the barrage of contradictory realities online; • How the sciences are coping with increasing specialization and the explosive proliferation of data, complicating the establishment and communication of expertise; • The relationship between VR and floatation/isolation tanks, and why floatation tanks are more necessary now than they have ever been; • Flow states and nondual awareness as a possible solution to information overload – and how we may have come to the end of the ego’s evolutionary usefulness; • Does Virtual Reality as a medium for philosophical inquiry even stand a chance in this commercial environment? Books We Mention In This Talk: (Buy any of these books through these links, and Amazon will pay me a small percentage of the sale at no extra cost to you.) • Ready Player One: A Novel by Ernst Cline • Neuromancer by William Gibson • Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson • Brave New World by Aldous Huxley • Sex, Ecology, Spirituality by Ken Wilber • The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams • The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future by Kevin Kelly • The Deep Self: Consciousness Exploration in the Isolation Tank by John C. Lilly • Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi • Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work by Steven Kotler & Jamie Wheal Other References: • Neuralink (brain-technology interface currently in development by Elon Musk) • Inside Out (Disney movie) • WNYC’s Note To Self Podcast • Nathan Jurgenson, Social Media Theorist for Snapchat • Maria Popova’s Brainpickings.org • Android Jones & Anson Phong’s Microdose VR DADARA Quotes: “Imagination is this endless unknown territory. We think we might have discovered it, but if we look, I don’t know…” “Nowadays we think a photo shows how something really is. That that’s reality. But it’s just a surface. And that’s something that I love. Maybe stories show reality in a more realistic way.” “People twenty, twenty-five years ago thought the world would be more defined [with the Internet] because we could find all the facts. But what’s interesting now is that it’s almost impossible to find any facts that we agree on, on the Internet.” “Inside the box [of the Solipmission installation], it may be more Burning Man than the outside.” “When people go to a city, they take photos of all the touristy [stuff] – it’s like the bucket list – but if you go to a place, and maybe if you haven’t seen any building but you’ve met this amazing person or gone through an amazing experience, doesn’t that give you a better understanding of that city than just seeing everything that’s there?” “I think floatation tanks now, in this period of time, are probably more important than ever…we’ll have implants [soon] and how can you be in a floating tank when the Internet is in your brain?” “Do you actually exist when you don’t Tweet? It almost feels like people, sometimes nowadays, if they haven’t posted that they’ve been somewhere, then they feel they haven’t been somewhere. But I think often, if you post that you’ve been somewhere, I don’t know if you’ve been there. Because you somehow were distracted. You only go to places when you DON’T post about them.” Coinage of a new term: “information potato.” “Art is about focusing our attention, and entertainment is about distracting our attention.” “Zapping [TV remotes] and scrolling [social media] at the same time is probably also a kind of flow. It’s just not MY flow.” Michael Quotes: “Much as we, in the United States anyway, marched westward under this insane banner of Manifest Destiny into what we were calling the ‘frontier,’ it wasn’t actually a frontier. There were people living there already! And what was unfamiliar to us, what was unknown to us, was already this mature ecosystem. And so there’s this relationship between virtual reality and psychedelics that people like Android Jones have been exploring, that makes me wonder if, in our exploration of what it is that we can manifest into these spaces, if we aren’t somehow causing an ecological catastrophe of the imagination. You know? That there’s stuff there already, and we’re paving over it.” “We assume that life is just given, but we’re actually involved in it, in its creation.” “We’re in the machine already, and so the machine entering us is not that big of a leap.” “Maybe a floatation tank isn’t enough. Maybe we need a Faraday cage, so you can go into this room of your house where it’s actually blocking electromagnetic radiation from entering the room and you can have your own thought for the first time in your whole life.” “Maybe the problem is that we’re so preoccupied with narrative, so preoccupied with history and prediction and who we think we are…that there is a ‘real real,’ but it’s not something that can be understood through the interpretive lens of the self.” More Links: Reality Sandwich Interviews DADARA about SolipmissionAbout DADARA’s “Art as Money” Project from 2012 Hanging out with DADARA and his son at Boom Festival 2016 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week’s episode features Dr. Rupert Till, aka Dr. Chill, who does actually hold the world’s first PhD in Electronic Music. Dr. Chill also has a habit of reconstructing ancient acoustic spaces from caves and temples, then writing electronic chill out music with 3D printed replicas of the world’s oldest instruments. In other words, he’s a badass at the intersection of academic archeology and international dance festival culture. A pretty great place to be.Dr. Chill’s Blog:https://rupertchill.wordpress.com/Dr. Chill’s set from Boom Festival 2016: https://soundcloud.com/rupert-chill/sets/boom-chillout-gardens-live-setDr. Chill on Boom Festival and living on the line between academia and festival culture: “I keep saying to people, this is work. I’m not here on holiday…I’m here disseminating the results from a 3.5 Million Pound European research project.” * Support Future Fossils Podcast on Patreon: patreon.com/michaelgarfield *We discuss the intersection of minimal electronica and the music and instruments of antiquity. Designing interactive and immersive 3D environments with accurate acoustics, and rebuilding the experience of ancient music in digital space. We also get into a tasty back and forth about the need to reclaim lost technologies of ritual and ceremony as we move deeper into the mayhem of electronic media…“Understanding what was going on in the ancient past tells us something about what is happening today. I’m interested in looking at what was similar, then to now.” - Rupert TillThe similarities between modern and ancient humans, and the sense of continuity and kinship we can feel when visiting ancient sacred sites. I mention my talk from Liminal Village, which you can listen to here:https://evolution.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-live-in-the-future-at-boom-festival-2016How the human brain case shrank as a consequence of writing, and how Google might be shrinking our brains even further…oral cultures have a much more sensitive experience of hearing:“At night, when you’re in these caves, you can’t see much. So you’re using your ears ALL THE TIME to get around the place…we’re so surrounded by so much noise nowadays, I think we miss some of that. Some of the caves I’ve been in have been the most remarkable acoustic places because they’re so silent. They’re astonishingly quiet. They were so quiet that our noise meter couldn’t measure. It was reading the lowest it could read. The noise floor of the electronics was all it was measuring. [Then later, coming out of Lascaux Cave,] you go around this corner and this SCREAMING volume of the French countryside was astonishing.” - Rupert TillThe difference between the sensory deprivation of the cave and the noise and color of topside existence.“I can understand that when people went into the dark of the caves, that when they came out, they appreciated sound and people and light so much more. That process of journeying somewhere else, to go somewhere in isolation and them come back to the world, going into the liminal space and then returning again…I think it’s a big part of what’s happening at this festival and most. That rediscovery of ritual is another thing that’s going on in this re-enchantment of the world and this rediscovery of the technologies of the past that are useful today.” - Rupert TillMichael’s story of his overnight stay in a Texas jail and rediscovering the beauty of Texas upon his release. Understanding why the police feel the need to protect this place.How the American emphasis on future-thinking has divorced us from our rites of passage. Refusing a developmental opportunity, it appears regardless, as “horrible fate.” The nature of the infamous “Saturn Return” as the moment in which we’re caught up with all of our postponed developmental crises……and how entanglement with the War on Drugs may be the only modern rite of passage available to many Americans.RJ Stewart’s book The Way of Merlin and the recurring theme in esoteric initiation of being trapped and/or put underground.How we lost our ancient rituals because of modernity’s rejection of religion…and threw the baby out with the bathwater.How art and music may have been the technologies that bonded human communities together tightly enough that it enabled us to out-compete the Neanderthals.“The modern experiment has suggested, ‘No, no, we can just be individuals, have our own just-look-after-yourself world, and it’s the way forward.’ But that’s the kind of existential crisis of the modern world, isn’t it? Always looking for the new. New doesn’t always work.” - Rupert TillIf “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” then hasn’t modernity failed to recognize the high technology of ritual??“Ritual…evolved with us as human beings, and in many ways is a much more sophisticated technology than any modern invention. We failed to recognize it for what it was, and we threw the baby out with the bathwater by believing that ritual was merely superstitious and not the enactment of a holistic cosmovision. That it wasn’t something essential that bound us to one another and to the world around us, and we ended up throwing away something upon which we rely. And now that we’re sort of liquefying the modern world into the postmodern ‘internet of things,’ and we’re experiencing this phase transition, we have this sort of NEED to reclaim all of these ancient technologies in order to stabilize ourselves as we move forward into a much more hyperconnected and communal space that’s organized more musically than it is rationally.” - MGThe complex structure of surviving rituals in electronic music culture.The importance of gathering the stories of our elders and transmitting them through generations.Different kinds of cultures have different kinds of festivals, but every culture has festivals of SOME kind…The essay I mentioned in which I discuss how you can tell a lot about society by the way it handles festivals:“Transformational Festivals Are A Symptom of Dissociation”The book Dancing in the Streets and electronic trance festivals as a reclamation of our original tribal identity as a species.“Our brain is just structured so it will go into trances…and they’re an important part of the psychic culture that we need to be healthy human beings.” - Rupert Till“One of the things that you need to go into a trance is the cultural expectation that it will happen.” - Rupert Till“Time is not the simple thing we thought.” - Rupert TillThe difference between optimizing society for humans versus optimizing society for machines.Specific music for specific functions, specific environments.Site-specific or “vernacular” music versus music without functional purpose and the movement from tribal to modern music and the disdain that some classical musicians feel for ritual/ceremonial music.Natural language interfaces will return us to an oral culture and immersive audio experience – “Writing just feels like an incomplete form of recording now that we can 3D scan things” – so presenting sound and visuals in three dimensions…“Looking and listening SHOULD be completely merged. And that’s the exciting future, for these things to be more integrated…so you can be in virtual spaces that are moving and shifting visually and aurally.” – Rupert TillAndroid Jones & Phong’s Microdose VR, HTC Vive TiltBrush, and other ways to dance simultaneous control of music and light…where movement meets architecture and we project vibratory glyphs into the space around us… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week our guest is Mark Lee (Somnio8), an amazing artist. One of my favorite visionary painters. We spoke in the Museum of Visionary Art at Boom Festival about free energy devices, the creative culture of Bali, and the awesome potentials of our collective future... http://somnio8.com is currently down so check out his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/somnio8/A very soft spoken dude, too, so apologies in advance for the festival background noise.* Support Future Fossils Podcast on Patreon: patreon.com/michaelgarfield *Don Harris’ inherited patent for radionics technology and the nature of the strange pocketwatch-like device that Mark was holding during our interview (which you can see a picture of [here]).A bit of not-precisely scientific exposition of radionics, scalar wave technology, the Casimir Effect, antigravity, and so on. Short detours into the Michaelson-Morley Experiment, the supposed disproof of the luminiferous ether, and more recent perspectives on a superfluid rather than solid ether as the basis for “over-unity” devices.How this field of study and this work has influenced and affected Mark’s life and artwork…the intersection of Golden Ratio technology and 3D printing will be a revolution. How studying shape and material properties and our ability to manipulate them in this time and age has inspired some awesome new toys and allows us to “cross the line between art and technology”.Mark recommends the following YouTube video: Shape Power by Dan DavidsonMark’s device reminds Michael of a time machine that he imagined for a sci-fi novel he and his friends tried to write in high school: one of those magical technologies that was never invented, just passed from older back to younger selves in a time loop…“I really want to inspire more artists to take up playing with 3D and using games engines, because it’s the ultimate tool for sharing any idea we can imagine.”This year is the year we’re starting to see legitimate gestural interfaces – 3D controllers like the HTC Vive and the importance of being able to use our hands and work in the sculptural space of VR with our whole bodies, not just a mouse and keyboard.Mark’s recent project with Sasha Stone (founder of Example Zero) on ANCIENT FUTURES, a festival in Bali that he’s helping conceive and art direct. One idea he’s using: the ticket is an hourglass with a single grain of sand in it to represent stardust and autonomy, and to invite a range of other meanings.Dan Winter, physicist, at http://goldenmean.info is another fantastic resource for new/alternate physics on scalar waves and phase-conjugate fields (and how different materials and geometries affect the human organism).Temple mathematics and the architecture of transcendence. Bioarchitecture. “If you can’t grow a seed in there…” Michael asks Mark what he thinks about the growing evidence for a lost seafaring global culture that was wiped out roughly 13,000 years ago by a cometary impact. MG: “By connecting everything to everything else, we are paradoxically (?) reviving all this ancient wisdom, indigenous knowledge, animism in the form of relating to the intelligence of our machines…and I wonder how much this is going to end up literalizing these New Age mythologies of technologically advanced ancient cultures… You certainly don’t need to believe in Atlantis to believe in the physics of this stuff.”Mark’s vision for the near future: festival culture becomes permanent. Giant 3D printers, magnesium oxide cement, over unity engines…“We can do anything if we have the energy. We can desalinate seawater, we can turn deserts into jungles…”Some more about overunity engines. Mark’s own experiments with free energy garage projects in Bali.Tom Bearden’s Motionless Electromagnetic GeneratorMichael asks: What if we aren’t READY for free energy? What if our species is too immature and those who may be murdering inventors have the world’s best interests at heart? What if these technologies have been suppressed because “they” know we’ll only blow ourselves up with it? (The Occupy Movement pits the 99% against the 1%, but don’t we want a solution that works for 100%?)Why don’t we have ethical boards for new energy and transportation technologies and how are we going to actually integrate these transformations into culture?Mark gives a very thoughtful reply…Mark suggests looking up:Ralph Ring & Otis T Carr http://projectcamelot.org/ralph_ring.htmlMark: Those are humans flying UFOs, not aliens.We go totally woo and entertain the possibility that we officially left the Moon because it was already inhabited. Mark mentions a number of ostensible secret Moon programs from other countries and even corporations. Michael’s experience of visiting Synergia Ranch and learning about how Biosphere II was an outgrowth of a secret international research program that happened across the Iron Curtain in the 1970s, mapping Mars and planning for a human mission.Then we get silly.What do you want to say to that future self that includes but also transcends you?MG: “Do you have any questions for the future?”ML: “No, not really.

Not only music producers and performer for many years, he also established the music label Glitchy.Tonic.Records in September 2009, which is now one of the leading forces in the "Alternative Psytrance Trance" - or what's often refered to as Dark Prog or Zenonesque.  Taking the first musical steps around the time of the millennium, his skills and technique and productions were constantly evolving and advancing over the years. In late 2008 he felt he finally reached the quality to go way more professional. He brought Radioactive.Cake and Zeitgeist to life, aiming for releases and gigs and of course for good feedback. Getting all three, he soon wanted another challenge or rather more ways of expressing his musical creativity and he started Munstrous and Dark Passenger. Today, Robert can look back on an extremely long list of releases and has gained quite some experience performing his stuff live. He played his projects at Festivals like Freqs Of Nature, Lost Theory Festival, Boom Festival, Solaris Festival, Cosmo Festival, Transylvania Calling, Pandemonium Festival, SpaceCamp Psyfari Festival and many others. With his 4 music music projects, Robert has released 8 albums so far, CD and digital format, and dozens of single tracks. Might check the Releases section if you're interested in what is available where and how. Number 9 and new Zeitgeist album "tasteless - pointless - Significant!" is getting released in May 2015. links:   https://soundcloud.com/radioactive-cake http://www.radioactivecake.com http://www.glitchytonicrecords.com

Proxcast 01: SwitchSt(d)ance - Warm up for Nathan Fake - 31/05/12 Marco Antão, ou SwitchSt(d)ance, é um daqueles artistas que vagueiam pelos estranhos territórios do neo-trance e do techno melódico, com claras influencias do IDM, dos 80’s e do gótico. É residente do Lux Frágil, já tocou ao lado de artistas como James Holden, Actress ou Nosaj Thing, e Sexta dia 1 de Março vai acompanhar o Ricardo Tobar na primeira festa da Proxid. Razões mais do que suficientes para o entrevistar-mos e saber o que se passa na sua mente. Entrevista a SwitchSt(d)ance - Conta-nos como é um dia normal do Switch? Depende se consigo arranjar trabalho na minha área ou não. Normalmente é durante a Primavera e o Verão que surgem mais oportunidades na área da produção de eventos; durante o Inverno geralmente há menos trabalho então dedico-me a tempo inteiro à musica, tanto a ouvir o que sai de novo como a produzir musica no estúdio. - Como foi o teu passado musical? Tiveste uma banda ou algo do género ou era só skate? Nunca tive nenhuma banda, mas quando tinha 7 anos tive aulas de piano e mais tarde com 11 andei numa escola a aprender a tocar baixo. Foi aos 12 anos que comecei a andar de skate, e depois passado talvez uns 13 anos é que voltei à musica, desta vez como Dj e mais tarde a produzir música. - E de onde veio esse gosto pela musica mais hipnótica, pela brain music? É uma boa pergunta, nem eu sei bem responder, mas acho piada ao facto de uma mesma música conseguir criar diferentes emoções e estados de espírito quando a oiço. Não gosto de música só para distrair ou preencher o silêncio, prefiro música com mais conteúdo e até inesperada, sabes? Ir a pé de phones pela rua e às tantas nem saber bem para onde estou a ir, porque a música é de tal modo envolvente que sem reparar já estou vaguear tanto física como mentalmente. É engraçado quando estou com amigos numa sala de estar ou algo parecido e pedem-me para por uma musica de fundo, tudo aqui que escolho independentemente do estilo de música acaba por despertar a atenção e concentração das pessoas. - Já fazem quase 3 anos que és residente do Lux. Qual o balanço que fazes da experiência? Como comparas tocar um all night set vs um warm-up? E discoteca vs bar? É uma grande experiência. Uma casa com excelentes condições em todos os aspectos, onde já tive oportunidade de tocar a minha música para um bom público e também conhecer grandes artistas. Os all night sets no Lux não são fáceis, costumo começar à meia noite e termino entre as 6h e as 7h. Por isso mesmo, divido o meu set em várias fases: ao início começo com música calma e longa, porque por vezes demora 1hora até aparecer a primeira pessoa na pista. Quando surgem as primeiras pessoas, algumas vão logo embora porque não se sentem à vontade de serem as únicas na pista. Continuo com música para o início da noite e a tentar perceber o que é que cativa o público a manter-se na pista. A partir das 3h é quando a casa começa a ficar mais composta e talvez por volta das 4h, quando sinto que contagiei o público, é quando faço o "switch" e começo a introdução para um verdadeiro set meu até ao fim da noite. No warm up faço outro tipo de sets, normalmente tenho as costas protegidas pelo artista internacional que vai tocar e sei que vou ter um público que vai estar na pista principalmente para o ouvir. Então sinto-me um pouco mais à vontade para fazer um set que faça sentido, sem ter muito que me preocupar se vou agradar o público ou não. Ou seja, toco o que gosto e o que quero dar a conhecer às pessoas sem qualquer tipo de preconceito e preocupações. Agora entre o Bar e a Discoteca, no bar é muito mais fácil que na discoteca, pelo menos é um ambiente muito mais descontraído e não há tanta pressão. Tocar na discoteca exige muito mais de mim física e psicologicamente, fico sempre muito tenso e concentrado no meu trabalho, por vezes até me esqueço de beber o copo que pedi à 1h hora atrás. A pressão é muito maior, ao mínimo erro que possa acontecer com a música sei que vou ter centenas de pessoas a olharem ou a assobiarem. Felizmente até à data, ainda não me aconteceu nada do género. - Qual a festa onde mais gostaste de tocar? Festas onde se faz silencio na pista para ouvir e dançar a música. Gosto sempre quando sei que tenho os meus amigos todos reunidos na pista de dança. Mas aquela de que tenho a memória mais fresca, foi no mês passado com James Holden e Ivan Smagghe, porque são dois grandes mestres da música e duas grandes influencias do meu trabalho. - O que te passa pela cabeça enquanto tocas? Vontade de largar a cabine e ir para o meio da pista do Lux ouvir e ouvir as minhas músicas naquele sistema de som incrível com todas as pessoas a dançar. - Os teus sets revelam um linha musical bastante variada, mas sempre coerente; como os preparas? Obrigado! Aborrece-me quando oiço sets que parece que não evoluem ou que soa à mesma música durante 2h. Quando faço um set, gosto de tentar contar uma história. Ou seja, é como ler um livro cada musica pode ser uma página ou um capitulo, gosto de ir a diferentes sítios, gosto de fazer quebras no meio do set para deixar as pessoas respirarem e prepararem-se para a próxima viagem/capitulo. Normalmente faço uma playlist alargada com tudo o que possa fazer sentido nessa noite, depois dentro dessa playlist faço outras playlists. Umas com musicas que não posso de maneira alguma esquecer-me de tocar, outra com musica mais forte, com musica mais calma, com musica para fazer pontes, como musica para inicio, fim, etc. Depois quando começo a tocar tento arranjar um percurso para ligar as musicas todas das diferentes playlists. - Imagino que de vez em quando tenhas alguém a pedir-te para tocares Swedish House Máfia ou algo do género, de que forma lidas com esses requests? Confesso que não conhecia a música de Swedish House Máfia! Fui agora ao youtube para tentar perceber a tua pergunta. Quando fazem esse tipo de pedidos, ou até quando me pedem para tocar mais groove ou house reajo de várias formas, depende do dia, ora ignoro e concentro-me no que estou a fazer, finjo que não oiço ou não compreendo, digo nunca ouvi falar ou digo que é a próxima que vai tocar - depende mesmo do meu estado de espírito. - No verão passado encerraste o Alchemy Circle do Boom, como foi a experiência de tocar ao final da tarde, ao lado de uma lagoa, em oposição a uma discoteca escura às 3 da manhã? Onde te sentes mais confortável? Sinto-me mais confortável numa discoteca porque é onde tenho mais experiência, se bem que penso que a minha música pode fazer muito sentido ao ar livre e durante o dia. Tocar no encerramento do Boom foi um grande desafio. Inicialmente tinha em mente fazer um set calmo e lento, por volta de 116 BPM's - tinha imaginado o pôr de sol, a lagoa, e muita viagem. Mas quando comecei a montar o meu material, apercebi-me que música do Dj anterior era muito rápida, muito física, estática, quase a arranhar no new rave/maximal, tive logo que alterar aquilo que tinha pensado. Tocar a 116 BPM's seria um autêntico chill out ou downtempo depois deste Dj que estava em palco. No momento arranjei outra estratégia e comecei o meu set, ao inicio foi uma sensação estranha, acho que estava a tocar música com informação a mais, houve pessoas que se assustaram; mas por outro lado sabia que a minha música fazia todo o sentido num festival como o Boom e capaz de transmitir emoções nas pessoas. Continuei com a minha linha musical e fui percebendo que estava a renovar a pista com outro público, Quando cheguei a meio do set já estava mais à vontade e tudo indica que correu bem, lembro-me que quando terminei veio muita gente falar comigo e dar-me os parabéns, dizer que nunca tinham ouvido nada parecido e a perguntar-me que estilo de música era este. Um rapaz disse-me que chorou de alegria numa certa música! Já passaram 7 meses e ainda continuo a receber emails de pessoas de países que nunca ouvi falar, como por exemplo da Nova Caledônia! O Boom foi uma experiência muito gratificante e que gostava de repeti-la. - As tuas produções também são bastante interessantes, quase uma extensão dos teus sets. O que procuras quando fazes musica? Como aprendeste a produzir? Procuro satisfazer as minhas vontades momentâneas. Há quem faça música a pensar nas vendas, nas editoras, etc. Um dia acordo e apetece-me fazer um beat e tento, no outro dia apetece-me fazer algo mais kraut faço, no outro dia talvez algo mais cosmic, no outro dia drone ou só frequências estranhas, e no outro quem sabe um mix de todas as minhas influências - vai um bocado conforme a minha disposição do próprio dia. No início aprendi bastante só de observar o meu amigo Pedro Martins a trabalhar em estúdio. Mas ainda tenho muito para aprender e ultimamente procuro ir contra as regras básicas da música clássica, criando as minhas próprias escalas atonais. Recentemente comecei a usar compassos de música diferentes, em vez do vulgar 4/4 ando a explorar compassos 5/4 ou 7/8. - Achei interessante na festa do blog Breathing Beats teres tocado um set mais virado para o hip-hop e 2-step, um pouco diferente do que normalmente te ouvimos a tocar. Foi uma excepção à regra ou de vez em quando ainda fazes sets desses? Não diria Hip Hop nem 2step, mas sim wonky ou raw beats e não é excepção à regra. No bar do Lux costumo tocar um pouco deste tipo de música, e já houve outros grandes eventos onde pude mostrar esta faceta, como na noite em que a Punch magazine convidou Nosaj Thing no Musicbox ou ainda no evento da Dc Shoes no Faktory Club. - Nos últimos meses deu-se um enorme aumento da oferta de musica de dança underground em Lisboa, com artistas internacionais a passarem por cá praticamente todos os fins de semana. Como vês a “cena” lisboeta? Lisboa está completamente parada no tempo, basta olhar para os cartazes de eventos e festivais do resto da Europa e ficar a sonhar quando é que vão haver eventos semelhantes por cá. É incrível como é que uma capital europeia como Lisboa não tem um único festival dedicado à musica electrónica, existem festivais com palcos ou tendas electrónicas, mas de electrónica só tem mesmo o nome. Quando vou por exemplo ao Sonar em Barcelona ou outros eventos em outros países volto para Portugal de barriga cheia, suficiente para nos alimentar durante 3 anos de música em Portugal. Lembro-me há 2 anos de ter ido a Fabric para ouvir Daedelus, Dimlite, Flying Lotus, J Rocc, Kode 9, Martyn, Nosaj Thing, Gaslamp Killer, Tokimonsta, Dorian Concept, tudo na mesma sala, uns a seguir aos outros e só paguei um valor equivalente a 15€. Não acredito que cá consiga haver algo parecido. Volta e meia existe alguém a investir em musica nova, que é o caso da Proxid e da Joana Almeida (Give Music a Chance) que convidou Lanny May em Outubro. Correu bem mas ainda são eventos muito casuais. 1 ou 2 por ano não chega. Eu próprio já me estou a organizar em função de começar a organizar os meus próprios eventos com musica e artistas que fazem falta neste cidade. Sempre que saio à noite, vêm pessoas falar comigo e tenho me apercebido de que felizmente o público português também se está a aperceber desta situação e já está um pouco saturado da fraca oferta que existe em Lisboa. Gostava que os promotores e programadores se apercebessem desta situação e acompanhassem a evolução da música e apostassem nas novas tendências. - Que artistas nacionais te chamam mais à atenção? Twofold, D-Man, Zacarocha, Pedro Martins, 18thdivision, IVVO, Ramboiage, Ludovic, Chainless, Thomm, Papercutz, Manycure, Photonz. - Vais tocar no primeiro Boiler Room português, qual a tua expectativa? Em poucas palavras: curioso, nervoso, contente, ansioso e cheio de pica. - E que esperas da festa da Proxid? Ansioso por tocar com o Ricardo Tobar? Acho que vai ser um sucesso. O Lux já teve o Ricardo como convidado, mas foi há 4 anos atrás, nessa altura ainda era completamente desconhecido do público português, e era o novo artista da Border Community, hoje em dia já é muito mais popular e conheço muita gente que está cheia de vontade em ouvi-lo de novo. Tocar com o Ricardo também vai ser bom de certeza, estou curioso por o conhecer pessoalmente. - Quais os teus planos para o futuro? Espero este ano lançar música em algumas das minhas editoras favoritas. E o resto é surpresa... - Obrigado pela entrevista, gostavas de acrescentar alguma coisa? Obrigado eu por esta entrevista e pelo convite para tocar no teu primeiro evento. Queria também agradecer a todos aqueles que me ajudam e apoiam; Lux e todo o seu staff, Inês Meira, Twofold, Hong Kong Triad, David Tutti dos Reis, Madame, Mariola Kuskowska, Faktory Club, Europa, Brownie, Boom Festival, aos meus patrocinadores Native Instruments, Dc Shoes, vinho Social, a todos os meu amigos, conhecidos e desconhecidos que frequentam e apoiam as minhas noites. Obrigado!
