One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?
I discovered Hirasawa Susumu through his work on the Paprika soundtrack and later his other albums thanks to the magic of Youtube. I’m not even sure how to describe it, it’s a whole world. There’s this album (Kyusai no giho). I’m not a big fan of japanese music otherwise, but this ? I’ve never heard anything remotely like this. And it seems so coherent, so… mature, in a way.
Great idea for a thread btw, will have to peruse the replies
His Paprika soundtrack is integral to the movie. The opening theme where we see how she travels is phenomenal - the imagery plus the music is such a perfect one-two munch it makes me tear up.
As someone with extensive experience with sleep deprivation, I can say with confidence that Parade sounds exactly like the seam between consciousness and sleep.
I find your remark pretty spot-on. Have you actually watched Paprika ?
Mhmm, that’s what inspired the sentiment
oook
