No, no Daniel. This has nothing to do with drugs, on the contrary. It means
"Digital sensory perception". I.e. a very rarely occuring natural state,
usually being triggered, when you have played your chordophone for such a
long time, that the sensibility in your fingers take on a life of their own,
transcending reality as we normally percieve it, resulting in extraordinary
feats of chordal and harmonic dexterity, making the DSP:ee able to produce a
kind of etheral sound not of this world, and which in virtually all cases
will transport any listeners into a hypnotic state. (cf. Canova da Milano).

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Lute DSP
this is "Lute DSP"
Detrodo Superpercetua Psilocybiensis-
A potentially deadly mixture of powdered Detrodotoxin (Blowfish liver
extract) and magic mushrooms. Used by Hunter College music students
back in the 1970's- under the right circumstances it functions as a
psychic transtemporal medium for reading the minds of dead composers.
Overdoses result in perceiving not only the composer's harmonic and
expressive intentions, but also his unconscious carnal appetites and
his ancient repressed memories of Medieval toilet training. Madness
and even death can ensue. A team of scholars trying to make sense of
Bruckner's symphonic ambiguities was so badly decimated that DSP was
declared illegal along with absinthe in the last century. Don't even
THINK of second guessing Gesualdo with this stuff.
