The style of A-cid Symphony is a bit acid folk with fusions of Middle Eastern influences with yodeling, blues, folk,.. It uses a raga-like slightly droning and flowing effect, with instruments like dulcimer, guitar, .. 

Leader was Dustin Mark Miller who was part of the mid-'60s Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley. This movement galvanized a large segment of American society which formed the basis for even larger movements to come. The Anti-War Movement, Black Power, Women's rights, Gay rights, and other pivotal and historical initiatives drew from the successes and failures of Berkeley. 
Tired of selling protest songs for the fund of the movement in 1966 he started with child friend Charles Ewing start a flower child's like folk band with ethnic flavors folk/ethnic along with the existing band The San Francisco Diggers. Charles' school friend Ernie Fischbach played all kinds of string instruments, drum and harmonica. Ewing had studied flamenco and classical guitar in Spain. Ewing and Fischbach had played more often together at the California State University. The trio (now based in Los Angeles) was now called A Cid Symphony, when Ernest invited his new bride (and teenage model) Deborah Cleall to join the group. Ernest and Deborah were married July 14, 1967 in Southern California, and moved to Northern California immediately as Ernest and Charles had already started studying North Indian Music with Ali Akbar Khan in Berkeley. Ernest studied the Sarod and Charles studied on his Flamenco guitar. Deborah played the tamboura for the class, (the drone instrument heard in all N. Indian music). Charles Ewing and Ernest Fischbach had already met while studying social anthropology at Long Beach State, and they had started to play more often together. At that time Ernest was playing blues and folk. Both became also more enamored with East Indian music. The Acid test definitely changed everything at this juncture in their lives, and they began to experiment with other sounds and kinds of music. They played more frequently, usually at colleges, sponsored by friends, Students for a Democratic Society, or whomever would support the music. The band continued to hold free concerts at which they fed everyone that showed up.
