I in fact did psychedelic therapy using Jon Hopkins’ album ‘Music for Psychedelic Therapy’ and it truly was like entering different “worlds” through his music. And the way that album was crafted with no dead air- you just hear a sound that cues you that it is time to leave the place your in. You have enough time to say goodbye and be carried to the next world. It was an incredible experience. I was just astounded with this album and the way it integrated with the psychedelic experience.

Listening to Jon break his craft down is such a treat. Thank you for having him on! Incredibly inspiring

[@NathanMandjes]

I use Wavepaths as a psychedelic practitioner and I love Music for Psychedelic Therapy as well. Never knew that these were so interconnected. Deeply moving. And can’t wait for RITUAL to come out ❤

[@yosefbegic8851]

I’ve done about 30 IV Ketamine infusions with this album as support and I can’t thank you I enough Jon, for the places you have taken me. Bless you

[@JamesBernardohk]

Wow how are you getting such legends on here, incredible stuff

[@QuiverMeOpen]

Just got tickets to his show in SF in one month right before the Portola Festival with SBTRKT and Little Dragon. OMG.

[@sean_patrick]

The wealth of knowledge on this channel is incredible. Very grateful for it!

[@weird.atall10296]

[@medelist]

El DVD de B&W de regalo de la línea 800 me mostró la música de Jhon Hopkins por primera vez y me encantó, pero en Chile era imposible de encontrar y en Internet no había nada. la espera valió la pena y después de tanto tiempo aquí estamos. Saludos a todos.

Incredible man

[@muxant]

Thank you very much

[@Aldoistaken]

Super cool

[@Miltersen]

Is there a video version on the entire podcast? On Spotify I seem to find only an audio version?

[@_Udaya_]

is the video version available on Spotify also?

[@guitartommi]

Sounds really incredible! But it would be nice if Jon could show us the details and tools that he uses.

[@pianoatthirty]

Everything in this video is made with granular synths + filtering. Stretched, reverbed, the usual stuff. Even when you hear those gentle ‘stutters’ it’s just playing with the grain size, grain shape and grain amount.

[@guitartommi]

@@pianoatthirty Thank you for letting me know! :-)

[@Aquiiin]

Any reason why Jon is not screen sharing like Disclosure for example? 👀

[@nigolm]

any way to access the whole episode with video?

[@jesse7591]

doesnt seem they do that, i go to spoitfy for full episode audio tho

[@user-yl9ub7kf8j]

Am I the only one who can’t find the whole episode on podcasts?)

@jon_hopkins_ Everything around you is actually infinitely larger than you think.
But it's hard to notice because so are you
