Si FARED on TRANCE

Trance is perhaps the most emotional genre in electronic music. It can make you want to burst out cheering or start crying for no reason. It has the power to instill pure bliss into the listener. There are so many different subgenres of trance that continue to make it unique to this day. If you are interested in creating your own trance music, whether for fun or to get your name out there, here are some steps to help you get started.

Trance particularly has unique characteristics that make it differ from other electronic music. These include, but are not limited to the factors listed below:

• Emotion. One of trance's main characteristics lies in the emotional factor that it places in the listener. Much of modern trance music places emphasis on a "build-up and breakdown" measure associated with progressive trance, which is good in moderation. Be aware that trance music did not start using progressive build-ups and breakdowns until about the late 90s. Prior trance would typically keep the same beat for the length of the entire song.
• Repetition. Trance is usually very repetitive. This is not to be associated with a negative connotation, as repetition is one of the factors that helps to instill the emotional aspects of the genre. You should be mindful of making any repetition flow naturally. Repetition that does not flow properly will tend to "mimic a broken record", per se, making it difficult for listeners to adapt to and connect with the sound.
• The quarter-note bass kick. The quarter-note kick helps to retain the emotional factor that is created by repetition. Almost all trance music has a defining quarter-note bass kick that usually remains for the majority of the song. Keep in mind that the quarter-note kick does not have to be an overpowering bass note; you might choose a subdued sound. Similarly, many artists will begin with a series of ambient sounds and gradually work the listener into the main melody.
• Beats per minute. Most trance lies within the range of 130-150 BPM. Sometimes it may drop below 120 BPM—particularly in ambient trance—but it generally does not exceed 150 BPM, as this begins to border hardcore electronic music, which is another genre in itself.

Trance may have some universal characteristics, but its melody can vary tremendously across subgenres. Recognize the characteristics of some of these subgenres:

• "Classic" trance. While this isn't a specifically defined subgenre, this refers to early trance that began in the late 80s. This subgenre has a tremendous focus on repetition, slowly changing over the course of the song. Classic trance can be said to be ported from contemporary classical music's "minimalism" developed by contemporary composers such as Steve Reich, Terry Riley, La Monte Young, and Philip Glass.
• Acid trance. Acid trance is mostly similar to classic trance, except that it has a much more hypnotic and "trippy" feel to it. It has a unique sound that is often achieved by playing with filters, pans, and oscillators to create a "science fiction"-esque sound. See Roland TB-303.
• Progressive trance. This subgenre defined the popular "build-up and breakdown" themes that are often associated with trance. By slowly building up a progression of melodies and creating a pseudo "tension", an outburst of emotional bliss results at the peak of the melody as it "releases". These releases are often done by creating a brief lull in the melody before quickly returning to the main theme. Other common techniques include pausing, using rests, rapidly speeding up the BPM, and using progressing kicks from quarter- to eighth- to sixteenth-, note kicks, and so on.
• Goa trance. This subgenre shares many of the characteristics of acid trance, but has a unique "organic" sound to it. Goa trance is such a complex and structured subgenre of trance that many other "sub"-subgenres originated from goa trance, itself.
• Psychedelic trance. Also known as psytrance, this subgenre is very similar to goa. In what goa trance creates for an organic feel, psytrance creates an electronic, futuristic feel. Psytrance tends to use more sci-fi ambient sounds together with the techniques used in acid trance.
• Ambient trance. This subgenre tends to use a much slower BPM and places less emphasis on the quarter-note kick. Many ambient artists do away with the quarter-note measure altogether and drop to half-note measures or other measures. Ambient trance generally uses softer sounds and maintains an "easy listening" feel, while still retaining the repetitive and emotional characteristics associated with trance.
• Tech-trance. Tech-trance is a fusion between techno and trance. It is very tough. It doesn't focus on a melody, at times a melody will be used in the breakdown. Usually focuses around the talent to manipulate one note and edit it to make a very industrial sounding synth. Some names to check out who specialize in tech-trance are Sander van Doorn, Abel Ramos, Bryan Kearney, Randy Katana, and Marcel Woods.

Si FARED on blogging.

This is my first time to do a blog. And I am welcoming myself to the world of bloggers haha!

I read a dozens of people’s blog and I find them interesting. Sharing ideas, thoughts and emotions to the world is such an achievement. I am not aiming for popularity per se. It’s just that I want to put into words how I feel towards everything. Especially my way of life and what I like and what I don’t like.

I have few reasons why I entered the world of blogging. 1^st. I wanna set an identity. I have several friends all over Brunei. Some of them are from different races. Generally, they’re from all walks of life. I am not actually stating the fact that I wanna set an identity for myself alone. Well, at least through blogging, you’ll be able to know more about me and to learn some of the ideas I might share in the future. 2^nd. I wanna share my passion about TRANCE. You’ll find out more about this on the concluding part of my blog.

I find blogging as a way of expressing oneself. So whatever kind of criticism I might get through this, I’m going to accept it wholeheartedly. I don’t hold your mind or your decision. I believe that each and one of us have our own different point of views in life and as a human I am bound to respect that.

And you. Yes it’s you! I wanna thank you for reading my first blog. Expect more of expect more of me on my next one. I don’t promise you the best but I will exert my effort on this. Thanks again!

APOLOGY

To all the people I might get hurt reading my blog, im sorry I didn’t mean to do that. To all my grammatical errors, I’m sorry if I’m not able to do it perfectly. No one is perfect in this world. We’re just human and we’re able to do some mistakes. To whatever kind of mistake I might commit on this blog. My apology.
