Altered States

from Altered States by Jonathan R Cross

about

This weekend the challenge was as follows:
"For this weekend's challenge, create a jam that best represents an altered mental state of your choosing. It could be an illness like schizophrenia, a natural practice like meditation, or something drug induced like psychedelics. If you don't have a personal experience to draw from, then use your imagination. Please only include jams created during the submission period, and try to keep them under 5 minutes. Have fun!"

I wasn't sure which mental state to go with, so I started out all meditative on the skulpt with NTS1 on FX, and then as ever went all techno and had fun with one of the microfreak's new oscillators from the version 3.0 upgrade. This one's a 'Harm' one from Noise engineering I think. Anyway it sounds bonkers.

To shoe horn the altered state, I ran the audio through Butterchurn and tried to change the visuals with the music, then cycle backwards through them all like going on a journey then being pulled back.
