Wavepaths - When Psychedelics Meet Music Algorithms

Ya’ll my little heart is beaming! My dreams have come true in a radically fast amount of time. Just a few weeks ago I was asked, what invention would I create? I said I would create an app that allows users to have a psychedelic experience for healing minus the need to use drugs. The main reason why I would want to go the route of an app versus ingesting/using drugs is because I would be fearful of taking too much and having a bad trip. As mentioned in a previous post, I have to deeply manage my journey with anxiety and depression. I am unsure what can be a trigger for an episode until something happens and by that point it is too late.

Rolling stone recently released an article detailing what a wonderful job a team of professional in the UK have done to get the ball rolling on this type of app with the help of music!

The article is rather lengthy but def worth the full read. If you don’t have time to read it, here is the TL;DR… 

Top 3 points made in the article: 

1. Wavepaths is that the app will create unique musical scores tailored to every listener based on their tastes and psychological needs, such as the need to calm anxiety, or to soothe rage.
2. Artificial intelligence software and generative music algorithms will create the music but the interface will be responsive, so users (or their therapists) will be able to alter the flavor of the music on the fly.
3. Crucially, the music provided by Wavepaths is designed to be "incommensurable" – unlikely to ever be repeated. This ensures there is no chance that a familiar song – one that reminds you of a dead parent, lost friend, or ex-lover – could crop up and hijack your experience. 

The true test would be to see what those who have taken psychedelics would have to say in comparison to this app. I would be pretty biased as a user seeing as though psychedelics have not been my forte. But I am curious to see what those of you who have taken psychedelics might feel about this new app.

Would you try it out? What would you except as the result? Do you take psychedelics for the trip or the spiritual healing experience? I wanna hear your thoughts below!
