Eh, I think of getting there as a trip or journey.

The repetition and the intricate patterns entertain my mind and creates a smooth flowing sensation that I can feel both in my mind, and to a point, in my body. The music is very "universal" in my experience as well. For example, the music can be uplifting and exciting but at the same time it can also be soothing and put you into a.....trance! The consistency of the music allows it to flow but at the same time the big build ups and drops give it a very dynamic feel. Although I know that this isn't the case for everybody. Some people just hear the ~140bpm and synthesizer sounds with generic keyboard drum set like sounds. But I can understand that, because my brother loves classical baroque style music and I am sure he could also write down exactly how he feels while listening to "his" music and it wouldn't mean anything to me. That is not to say I do not appreciate the music though. It just doesn't have that "something" that makes my serotonin go wild.

Wow I think I am on to something! :icon_eek:

one song that i am a particular fan of:
7 colours by lost witness

discovered hybrid about 7 years ago, more breakbeat than trance, but i love their pieces, a wonderful blend between cinematics and electronica. and yes, they actually use a live orchestra for sampling. :) here are a few of my favorites:

Kindof a combination of C-64 game demos and TR909 innit. I remember when the TR came out and the innovative use of it back in the 80s. I thought it was the cat's behind. Eventually I came to loathe it because it was on EVERYTHING, and not tastefully at all.

This is nice (your first url). I can only take so much of the heartbeat tempo though. It soon becomes tedious (to me).

If you love trance, and you want to get into an actual trance (grin), let me introduce you to Sphongle. Please pardon me if you know this band, but if not, I encourage you to give a listen. Here's a 2 hour concert of theirs. Feel free to skip around and land where you like. If you like this I can suggest more. Thank you for taking the time to turn my on to your music. I do enjoy it and appreciate your generosity!

I've never been, but EDC is about 20-30 min from my house (and about 10 from where I work) lol. I know a bunch of people who have been.

Sent from my phone, in the land of magical unicorns and rainbows!
