Many songs were inspired by Amsterdam's Old Center, its quaint bohemian atmosphere, picturesque canals, canal houses, coffeeshops, narrow streets and alleyways, houseboats, yachts, historic Red-light district, bicycle culture, 1960-70s hippie culture and lots more.

What is Stoned Music?

Stoned Music is not in any particular style or genre. It is often eclectic and asymmetrical music played from the heart or by instinct, and created through inspiration. It originated in African music and was brought to other continents by Africans. It has had an enormous influence on American and British music. Music played from the heart follows a natural flow of rhythm from the perspective of nature instead of a rigid mathematical model created by European academic logic.
