Is this the same as rhythm produced by meditating? I can on demand induce disassociation by meditation, and I’m sure it’s a commonly known phenomenon

#152I'm an avid listener of the ambient/noise/experimental genres and have experienced a "trace-like" state on a few occasions; I've always attributed this to the repetitive characteristic(s) of the song in question. examples that come to mind: Zoviet France - Cycloptic Sub Alien: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVz2qCvjPDg Zoviet France - Mohnomishe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsBD-pUO4GI Laraaji - The Dance #1: ht…
Another famous recording which for me induces a dissociative state: Sitting In a Room - Alvin Lucier https://youtu.be/bhtO4DsSazc
dissociative state is certainly a better descriptor and more appropriate than trace-like. a prolonged hypnagogic state has occurred on on several occasions as well.

#153Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've found there are certain Tool songs (46 & 2, Lateralus) that it's not a good idea to listen to when doing something that requires focus (like riding my motorcycle), they make me get lost and zone out far faster. On the other hand when trying to calm my mind after a busy day there is nothing better.
I really like Tool but never get that...unfortunately :) Maybe try "We Are" on Asymmetry by Karnivool as well. I find the drums quite mesmerising, i've heard it's not quite as complex as it sounds.
I frickin love that album
