The music incorporated new electronic sound effects and recording techniques, extended instrumental solos, and improvisation.

Originating in the mid-1960s among British and American musicians, the sound of psychedelic rock invokes three core effects of LSD: depersonalization, dechronicization (the bending of time), and dynamization (when fixed, ordinary objects dissolve into moving, dancing structures), all of which detach the user from everyday reality. Musically, the effects may be represented via novelty studio tricks, electronic music, electronic or non-Western instrumentation, disjunctive song structures, and extended instrumental segments.

Psychedelic Rock In Australia And New Zealand
Psychedelic rock is a notable music genre in Australia and New Zealand. Overview 1960s Although select singles gained recognition outside of the region, music from the Australian and New Zealand rock scenes formed in the wake of Beatlemania produced a large quantity of original psychedelic pop and rock music.

These immigrants kept up to date on current musical developments via "care packages" of the latest singles and albums, tapes and cassettes of radio broadcasts, and the latest Mod fashions, sent to them by family and friends back in the UK. After gaining local success, a number of these groups returned to the UK to further their musical careers.V. Bogdanov, C. Woodstra and S. T.

As a result, Anatolian folk music began to spread and people began to listen to Anatolian folk tunes instead of Ottoman music. In the 1960s, Rock and roll began to be played and rock ...

Stoner Rock
Stoner rock, also known as stoner metal or stoner doom, is a rock music fusion genre that combines elements of doom metal with psychedelic rock and acid rock. The genre emerged during the early 1990s and was pioneered foremost by Kyuss and Sleep. Characteristics Stoner rock is typically slow-to-mid tempo and features a heavily distorted, groove-laden bass-heavy sound, melodic vocals, and "retro" production.

The music was occasionally confined to the studio, but there existed more organic exceptions whose psychedelia was bright and melodic. AllMusic adds: "What's trangeis that some psychedelic pop is more interesting than average psychedelia, since it had weird, occasionally awkward blend ...
