  • More about Musical Psychedelia: Research at the Intersection of Music and Psychedelic Experience

Psychedelic music is a fascinating yet under-researched field of study, with this collection offering a broad introduction to the field. It explores the transgressive and transcendent aspects, timbre and texture, perception of time, influence on "non-psychedelic" music, composition and production techniques, mediation by different places and spaces, and the interplay between psychedelic visual and sonic aesthetics. The interdisciplinary work reveals commonalities and contestation in musical psychedelic experiences, stimulating reflexive thought about interdisciplinary research.

Psychedelic music is a captivating and understudied realm of inquiry, brimming with potential for exploration. This thought-provoking compilation provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of psychedelic music studies, encompassing scholarly research on various genres such as rock, folk, electronic dance music, and pop. By expanding our understanding of psychedelic music, this collection offers a gateway for students and scholars alike to delve into a rich and multifaceted domain.

The contributing authors in this collection delve into diverse aspects of musical psychedelia, encompassing its rebellious and transcendent qualities, its emphasis on timbre and texture, its transformative impact on our perception of time, its influence on non-psychedelic music, the creative techniques employed by composers and musicians in its creation, the ways in which it is mediated by different environments and spaces, and the interplay between psychedelic visual and sonic aesthetics.

This interdisciplinary work uncovers both shared characteristics and complexities within the realm of musical psychedelia, as it juxtaposes music from different eras and genres with a diverse range of theoretical frameworks and methodologies. By broadening the scope of psychedelic music research, this collection not only offers a diverse and engaging reading experience but also prompts introspection about interdisciplinary inquiry.
