Kanami, guitarist/composer in Band-Maid.
Most good guitar soloists, and many musicians at large of course, can enter into a trance when they hit that groove, and they all make similar faces. I wonder if The Buddha made a similar face when he attained Enlightenment.

Boom Festival began in 1997 as a psychedelic trance music festival with a main stage and a lounge area with mellow, "chill-out music". Now, there are five stages: the Dance Temple, for psytrance and natural trance music; the Alchemy Circle is for many fresh experimental genres, including psytechno, progressive psytrance, house and unique combinations of those; the Sacred Fire stage is for world music and live music performances; the Ambient Source is for chill-out music; the Funky Beach stage is for electronic dance music dee jays and producers. Other attractions include sculptures, an art gallery, street theatre, and fire performances. Within the shaded Liminal Village are lectures, yoga classes, film screenings, group meditation, and discussions. The Healing Area has group workshops for healing techniques, a pool for water therapy and a massage area.
Boom's main focus is to integrate a sustainability ethos with arts and culture. By design, it does not provide corporate entertainment or sponsors. The key goal is to provide a transformational festival for people of different ethnic backgrounds, nationality and ages. In its own words, "Boom is not only a festival, it is a state of mind. Inspired by the principles of Oneness, Peace, Creativity, Sustainability, Transcendence, Alternative Culture, Active Participation, Evolution and Love, it is a space where people from all over the world can converge to experience an alternative reality."
The festival is entirely funded by ticket sales. It does not use corporate sponsors, which eliminates marketing that is seen as visual pollution.
In 2004, Boom began a series of environmentally self-sustainable projects, which includes: toilets that don't use chemical products, the treatment of residual waters using biotechnology, utilization of wind and solar energy, recycling and the free supply of cleaning kits to participants (including pocket ashtrays and rubbish bags).[citation needed] It has been assessed and awarded Outstanding in the Internationally recognised Greener Festival Award in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016. In 2011, it won, for the second year in a row, the title of YOUROPE Green 'N' Clean Festival of the Year in the Festival Awards Europe. As a result, the United Nations invited the organizing team to use the popularity of music as a means for raising public environmental awareness in a program called United Nations Music & Environmental Initiative (M&E).

Trance rituals often accompany certain sections of the kecak dance, such as during the portrayal of the burning of Hanuman. Here, the dancer playing Hanuman is blessed by a priest and enters a trance state for the fire kicking dance which follows. The dancer does not feel any pain from the fire because he is in a state of trance

at the Parassinikkadavu Shree Muthappan Temple.
He's the god for the common man.
Shree Muthappan is the Hunter God in Kerala, the benevolent protractor who speaks to the devotees through a human medium.
The human medium is severely austere before he embodies the lord & gradually enters into a divine trance.
The dancer is dressed elaborately and distinctively. The basic colors used are white, red & yellow much like an early Kathakali character. Other then a fish shaped headgear, Thiruvappana is also adorned with armlets, upper armbands, breast pieces and tasselled mirror work waistbands, all of which combine to create enormously heavy apparel. The headgear of Vellattam is a layer upon layer of plaited straw decorated with Chekki flower (Ixora javanika) and Tulsi (Basil – Ocimum Sanctum) with many decorative ornaments tied to it. The headgear symbolizes Shiva’s matted locks, goddess Ganga and the crescent moon. He carries a bow-and-arrow in one hand and a sword in the other.
The rhythmic footwork as he hops and swirls appropriately portrays the Hunter God. The brisk movement becomes light and soft at times and then using the sword Muthappan dances with frenzy to the resonant beat of the chenda. This magnificent rendering invokes a deep sense of reverence.
The dancer is offered Paan (folded betel leaves with chunam & betelnut in the middle) and Kallu (toddy). He drinks the toddy in a traditional kerala mug called Kindi. The other offerings made to the lord include boiled rice with shredded coconuts, ghee, black pepper and barbequed fish. This is known as Payyankutti.
The evening rituals include only Vellattam & mornings have both Vellattam as well as Thiruvappana. According to an ancient belief Vellattam is identified with Shiva while Thiruvappana is identified with Vishnu.
This is one of the few temples in India where meat & liquor are offered to the deity. Another important thing here is that there is no restriction on who can enter the temple. People from all religions and caste are permitted
