If you have an Android, I recommend trying Craze. It's a drawing app that has kaleidoscope effects. When I trip, I listen to music and draw to it in the app. It gets deep.
On a PC, try WinAmp, or even Media Player. No control, but it will visualize the music.

iTunes had a visualizer at one point. But I don't know if they still do.
If you have an android phone, download this app, put headphones on, and draw the music. It's amazing.
There are some interesting brushes, and as you continue to draw, the older stuff disappears. All you have to do is save the cool ones, and keep going!

I'm an international applicant, I think they are finally releasing decisions for us.

If you have an android phone, download CraZe. It's a fun drawing app that let's you draw forever. The older stuff disappears as you draw more. Just play with the brush settings, and hit the save button every once in a while.
If you draw to music, it's like a visualizer.
I use an app called CraZe for Android.
I find that distractions are good for preventing a bad trip. Get stuff to draw with, fresh fruit (melon, berries, grapes), different zones to move to if the vibe starts to get weird, and an outside area. Also a friend you can call if things get weird (not your ex).
Some people like TV, maybe some Rick and Morty or a nature documentary, Long Strange Trip is the new Grateful Dead documentary, Sunshine Makers might be cool.
There is a cool android app called CraZe that is really cool. It splits your drawing so you can make mandala-type drawings. The brush changes colors and the older lines disappear as you draw more. So it becomes like a mandala visualizer for the music you are listening to. And you can save the cool ones.
Music Suggestions:
Grateful Dead Veneta Oregon, 1972

Other than that and music, I haven't played with much while tripping. I'll mark this post!
This is a cool, similar, Android app that hasn't been updated since May 2015 (and it shows). Maybe take a look at it for even more inspiration? The code is on GitHub for the web app version. This app has multicolor palettes, and color fading, a la Webchemy, another awesome symmetry drawing app. I'm always on the hunt for more trippy drawing apps!
Hi! I'm the creator of an app named CraZe, which allows you to make psychedelic, colorful, and relaxing drawings. The basic premise is the usual mandala app, in which you have rotations, symmetries, colors, etc. But the twist is that there's a lot of parameters and effects and shapes that can be combined to create special results! The combinatorial explosion of parameters makes it so the possibilities are near infinite.
There's color palettes that change dynamically, geometric shapes that can change in size and orientation and alignment, fading that can be enabled so that you can draw endlessly without the screen filling up, undo, redo, etc. If there's any feature that you'd like to see implemented you can mention it and I'll do my best to prioritize it (it's just me developing this app as a hobby).
You can see images and videos from the app here https://instagram.com/crazeapp
And you can use it for iOS, Android, and web browsers.
I've also created a portal for app information and links: https://craze.app
Any feedback you have from the apps is very much welcome,
Thank you very much for reading this!
