The biggest problem was time. Time seemed to take on a whole new
meaning, first speeding, then slowing to a crawl. Things also seemed
cyclic, as if I was traveling forward through time only to come full
circle and back to the same point in time that I had left; as if time
was multidimensional, like I could live a whole life in a second.
Deciding that my keyboard was a lost cause, I switched to my PC. I
fired up the famous "fractint" program (available via anonymous ftp
almost anywhere PC stuff is kept). I spent what seemed like hours
zooming on the factal landscape of the Mandelbrot set. At 1024x768
pixels and 256 colors, I had a lot to look at. The program also has a
feature where you can put the colors into "rotation", doing a
randomization of hue and luminosity. You can also control this
scrolling with the mouse, which allowed me to paint fractals to the
sound of the music coming from my stereo.
So much for that. Next I found myself just sitting in the chair
listening intently to the music. I could hear things in the mix I
could never make out before. When the Dead claim they mixed "Anthem of
the Sun" for the trips, they weren't kidding. I got a strange feeling
about the band while doing this, as if they, and by extension the
entire psychedelic community, were somehow standing behind me.
