History

Origin

Early in the 1980s the German composer Klaus Schulze composed several albums of experimental "space music" which was highly atmospheric and sequencer-driven. Klaus Schulze (born August 4, 1947) is a German Electronic music Composer and musician. Space music, also spelled spacemusic, is an umbrella term used to describe music that evokes a feeling of contemplative spaciousness Some of these songs share many similarities with early trance music and are sometimes categorized as trance. Two of his albums from the 1980s include the word "trance" in their titles, 1981's Trancefer and 1987's En=Trance. Trancefer is the fourteenth album by Klaus Schulze. With a total running time of 37 minutes and 23 seconds it is the shortest album in Schulze's canon En=Trance is the twentieth album by Klaus Schulze. Track listing Original Release "En=Trance" – 1853

In retrospect, some of the earliest identifiable trance recordings came from the acid house movement, which was pioneered by The KLF. Acid house is a sub-genre of House music that emphasizes a repetitive hypnotic and trance -like style with samples or spoken lines usually used rather than sung lyrics The most notable of these were the original 1988 / 1989 versions of "What Time Is Love?" and "3 a.m. Eternal", along with the aptly titled, "Kylie Said Trance" (1989) and "Last Train to Trancentral" (1990). "What Time Is Love?" is a song released in different mixes, as a series of singles by Acid house pioneers The KLF. " 3 am Eternal " is a song by The KLF, numerous versions of which were released as singles between 1989 and 1992. " Kylie Said to Jason " was a 1989 single by The KLF, "Kylie" and "Jason" being Kylie Minogue and Jason " Last Train to Trancentral " is a song released in different mixes, as a series of singles by The KLF, including "Last Train to Trancentral (Live The KLF labeled these early recordings "Pure Trance" and they share many similarities with The White Room album (1991) but are significantly more minimalist, nightclub-oriented and 'underground' in sound. The White Room was a 1991 album by British House music group The KLF. While the KLF's works are clear examples of proto-trance, two songs, both from 1990, are widely regarded as being the first "true" trance records. The first is Age of Love's self-titled debut single which was released in early 1990 and is seen a basis for the original trance sound to come out of Germany. " The Age of Love " is the 1990 self-titled single of the Age of Love Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. The second track was Dance 2 Trance's "We Came in Peace", the b-side of their own self-titled debut single. Dance 2 Trance (comprised of Rolf Ellmer Jam El Mar a classically trained Composer; and Dag Lerner a DJ) is believed by many to be one of A-side and B-side originally referred to the two sides of 7 inch Vinyl records on which singles were released beginning in the 1950s Another influential song was Future Sound Of London's "Papua New Guinea" (1991). The Future Sound of London (often abbreviated to FSOL) are a prolific British Electronic music band comprised of Garry Cobain and Brian " Papua New Guinea " is a 1991 Song by the Electronic music group Future Sound of London.

The trance sound beyond this acid-era genesis is said to have been an off-shoot of techno in German clubs during the very early 1990s. Techno is a form of Electronic dance music (EDM that emerged in Detroit, Michigan, USA during the mid to late 1980s Germany is often cited as a birthplace of trance culture. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. Some of the earliest pioneers of the genre included Jam El Mar, Oliver Lieb, and Sven Väth who all produced numerous tracks under multiple aliases. Rolf Ellmer (born 3 December 1960 also known by the names Jam El Mar and Trancy Spacer, is a classically trained musician and composer (concert-guitarist and has Oliver Lieb (born 1969 is a prolific electronic music producer based in Frankfurt, Germany (primarily Techno and trance) Sven Väth (born 26 October 1964 near Frankfurt, Germany) is a DJ who has produced a large body of work since his career began Trance labels like Eye Q, Harthouse, Rising High Records, FAX +49-69/450464 and MFS Records were Frankfurt based. Eye Q was a Record label founded in 1990 by Sven Väth, Matthias Hoffmann and Heinz Roth. Harthouse is a German Record label specializing in Techno music; during the early 1990s it was one of the biggest labels in the "techno-trance" Rising High Records was a leading British record label established in 1991 specializing in rave, techno and ambient chillout music. FAX +49-69/450464, known simply as Fax Label, is a German Record label that releases Ambient music and other kinds of Electronic music Arguably a fusion of techno and house music, early trance shared much with techno in terms of the tempo and rhythmic structures but also added more melodic overtones. House music is a style of Electronic dance music initially popularized in mid-1980s Discothèques catering to the African-American, Latino Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμός - rhythmos, "any measured flow or movement symmetry" is the variation of the length and accentuation of In Music, a melody (from Greek μελῳδία - melōidía, "singing chanting" also tune, voice, or Also, the songs did not "bounce around" in the same way that house did and often contained unpredictable shifts in beat structure. These early forms of trance are now referred to as classic trance and were longer and more abstract than the more danceable trance that was to follow. Classic trance is the original style of Trance music that emerged in the late '80s early '90s focusing on atmosphere and softer synth-lines compared to the Acid trance

Popular trance

By the mid-1990s trance, specifically progressive trance, which emerged from acid trance much as Progressive house had emerged from Acid house, had emerged commercially as one of the dominant genres of dance music. Acid trance is a style of Trance music that emerged in the late '80s early '90s focusing on utilising the acid sound Acid house is a sub-genre of House music that emphasizes a repetitive hypnotic and trance -like style with samples or spoken lines usually used rather than sung lyrics Progressive trance has set in stone the basic formula of modern trance by becoming even more focused on the anthemic basslines and lead melodies, moving away from hypnotic, repetitive, arpeggiated analog synth patterns and spacey pads. Popular elements and anthemic pads became more widespread. Compositions continued to contain incremental changes (aka progressive structures), sometimes composed in thirds (as BT frequently does). Brian Wayne Transeau (born October 4, 1971 in Rockville, Maryland) is an American music producer composer singer and songwriter better known Meanwhile, a different type of trance, generally called uplifting trance was becoming popular. Uplifting Trance (also known as Anthem Trance and Epic Trance) is a term to describe several styles of music all of which are subgenres of Trance. Uplifting trance had buildups and breakdowns that were longer and more exaggerated, being more direct and less subtle than progressive, with more easily identifiable tunes and anthems. Many such trance tracks follow a set form, featuring an introduction, steady build, a breakdown, and then an anthem, a form aptly called the "build-breakdown-anthem" form. Uplifting vocals, usually female, were also becoming more and more prevalent, adding to trance's popular appeal.

Immensely popular, trance found itself filling a niche that was 'edgier' than house, more soothing than drum and bass, and more melodic than techno, which made it accessible to a wide audience. Artists like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Robert Miles, Above & Beyond, Darren Tate, Ferry Corsten, Johan Gielen, ATB and Paul Oakenfold came to the forefront as premier producers and remixers, bringing with them the emotional, "epic" feel of the style. Tiësto ( born Tijs Verwest ( on January 17 1969 is a Grammy -nominated Dutch trance DJ and Record producer. Armin van Buuren (born December 25, 1976) is a Trance music producer and DJ Paul van Dyk (born Matthias Paul; in Eisenhüttenstadt, Brandenburg, Germany) is one of the world's leading electronic dance music DJs Robert Miles (born Roberto Concina, November 3, 1969, in Neuchâtel) is a Swiss Italian (not from Italian Switzerland proper but the Biography and personality Darren Tate aka 'DT8' is an international producer and club DJ born in London England on 22 October 1972.

Many of these producers also DJ'd in clubs playing their own productions as well as those by other trance DJs. By the end of the 1990s, trance remained commercially huge, but had fractured into an extremely diverse genre. Some of the artists that had helped create the trance sound in the early and mid-1990s had, by the end of the decade, abandoned trance completely in favor of more underground sounds - artists of particular note here include Pascal F. E. O. S. and Oliver Lieb. Oliver Lieb (born 1969 is a prolific electronic music producer based in Frankfurt, Germany (primarily Techno and trance)

As trance entered the mainstream it alienated many of its original fans. As the industry became bigger, record labels, Ibiza based producers, clubs (most notably Ministry of Sound) and DJs continued to alter their sound to more of a pop based one, so as to make the sound more accessible to an even wider and younger audience. Ibiza (Eivissa is an island located in the Mediterranean Sea about 80 km off the coast of Spain Ministry of Sound ( MoS) is a global dance music brand and a Nightclub in Elephant and Castle, Southwark, South London, officially

Post-popular trance

As an alternative evolution some artists have attempted to fuse trance with other genres such as drum'n'bass. Others have experimented with more minimalist sounds. Frustrated, extreme versions of trance have mutated through gabba into fringe genres of "hard trance" or "hardstyle" overlapping with hardcore and terrorcore. Hard Trance originated in Germany in the early to mid-90's and is one of the earliest forms of trance. Hardstyle, in the United Kingdom sometimes referred to as hardbass, is a genre of electronic dance music that is closely related to hardcore and Hard trance. "Noisecore" redirects here For the style of metalcore see Mathcore. Terrorcore, terror (or in Dutch and French "terreur" is a Music genre.

Trance more loyal to its roots has begun to rear its head on the internet with the abundance of legal music download sites - including the likes of Juno Download, and Beatport, - enabling enthusiasts to avoid having to track down hard to find vinyl by downloading mp3s and uncompressed wavs, updated on a weekly basis. Juno Records is a UK-based Online Dance music retail store selling Vinyl records, CDs, music downloads and music accessories founded by Richard Overview Beatport is a US -based Online music store located in Denver Colorado that specializes in Electronic music, Dance As a result, both commercial and progressive trance now have a much more global, if not chart-bound, presence, with big-draw artists such as Sasha, Tiësto, ATB, Markus Schulz, Armin van Buuren, BT, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond, Paul Oakenfold, Enigma, Schiller, Solarstone and the US's Christopher Lawrence and George Acosta able to maintain their esteemed positions while upcoming producers and DJs can also breakthrough into the public domain.

Trance production

Trance employs a 4/4 time signature, a tempo of 130 to 160 BPM, and 32 beat phrases, somewhat faster than house music but usually not as fast as rave music. The time signature (also known as " meter signature" is a notational convention used in Western Musical notation to specify how many beats Beats per minute ( BPM) is a unit typically used as either a measure of Tempo in music or a measure of one's Heart rate. In Music a phrase ( Greek φράση, sentence expression, see also Strophe) is a section of music that is relatively House music is a style of Electronic dance music initially popularized in mid-1980s Discothèques catering to the African-American, Latino Rave music consists of forms of Electronic dance music that are associated with the rave scene. Psychedelic Trance is sometimes faster and earlier tracks were sometimes slower. A kick drum is placed on every downbeat and a regular open hi-hat is often placed on the upbeat. A bass drum is a large Drum that produces a note of low definite or indefinite pitch. In Music performance and Music theory, the downbeat is the first beat of a measure in Music, the impulse that occurs at the A hi-hat, or hihat, is a type of Cymbal and stand used as a typical part of a Drum kit by percussionists in R&B, hip-hop, Disco Upbeat (Ger Auftakt 1 An unaccented beat or beats that occur before the first beat of the following measure. Some simple extra percussive elements are usually added, and major transitions, builds or climaxes are often foreshadowed by lengthy 'snare rolls' - a quick succession of equally spaced snare drum hits that builds in volume towards the end of a measure or phrase.

Synthesizers form the central elements of most trance tracks, with simple sawtooth-based sounds used both for short pizzicato elements and for long, sweeping string sounds. Pizzicato (ˌpɪtsɪˈkɑːtoʊ is a playing technique that involves plucking the strings of a String instrument. As with other genres of electronic music, important synthesizers are the Roland TR-808, TR-909, and TB-303, which is the source of the "acid" sound. The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was one of the first programmable Drum machines ("TR" serving as an Initialism for Transistor Rhythm The Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer is a partially analog, partially sample-based Drum machine built by the Japanese Roland Corporation The Roland TB-303 Bass Line is a Synthesizer with built-in sequencer manufactured by the Roland corporation from 1982 to 1984 There are also several synthesizer sounds that are almost completely unique to its genre. One of these sounds is the "supersaw", a waveform was made famous by such classic trance synthesizers as the Roland JP-8000, the Novation Supernova, and the Korg MS2000. The Roland JP-8000 is an Analog modeling synthesizer released by the Roland Corporation in 1997 The Novation SuperNova is a virtual analog synthesizer made by the British company Novation. The Korg MS2000 is a Virtual analog synthesizer produced by the Japanese electronic musical instrument manufacturer Korg. A technique called "gating" is often employed in creating lead sounds (turning the volume up and down rapidly in rhythm with the piece to create a stuttered, chopped sound). Rapid arpeggios and minor scales are common features. In Music, an arpeggio is a broken chord where the Notes are played or sung in Sequence, one after the other rather than Ringing out simultaneously Minor Scale was a test conducted by the United States Defense Nuclear Agency (now part of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency) involving the detonation Trance tracks often use one central "hook" melody which runs through almost the entire song, repeating at intervals anywhere between 2 beats and several bars. A hook is a Musical idea, often a short Riff, passage or phrase, that is used in popular music to make a Song appealing and to "catch the

While many trance tracks contain no vocals at all, other tracks rely heavily on vocals, and thus a sub-genre has developed. Vocal trance is a subgenre of Trance music. It contains Vocals highly melodic sessions intro/outros which are similar to those of Hard trance or Progressive The sound and quality of the production relies to a large degree upon the technology available. Vintage analog equipment still holds a place in the hearts of many producers and enthusiasts, with names such as Moog, Roland and Oberheim staples in the trance sound palette. Moog Music is a Japanese manufacturer of Electronic musical instruments electronic equipment and Software. Oberheim Electronics is a company founded in 1973 by Tom Oberheim (a former design engineer at Maestro which manufactured audio Synthesizers and a variety of other However, the mainstream availability of digital technology has allowed a whole new group of producers to emerge because while top shelf digital (or analog modeling) synthesizers cost thousands of US dollars, high demand and a small supply of clean vintage analog synthesizers causes them to be extremely expensive.

Trance records are often heavily loaded with reverb and delay effects on the synthesizer sounds, vocals and often parts of the percussion section. Reverberation is the persistence of Sound in a particular space after the original sound is removed Delay is an Audio effect which records an input signal to an audio storage medium, and then plays it back after a period of time This provides the tracks with the sense of vast space that trance producers tend to look for in order to achieve the genre's epic quality. Flangers, phasers and other effects are also commonly used at extreme settings - in trance there is no need for sounds to resemble any real-world instrument, and so producers have free rein. Flanging is a time-based Audio effect that occurs when two identical signals are mixed together but with one signal time-delayed by a small and gradually changing amount A phaser is an Audio signal processing technique used to filter a signal by creating a series of peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum

As is the case with many dance music tracks, trance tracks are usually built with sparser intros and outros in order to enable DJs to blend them together more readily. Records that adhere to this "build up, strip down" arrangement during intros and outros are referred as being "DJ friendly". As trance is more melodic and harmonic than much dance music, the construction of trance tracks in such a way is particularly important in order to avoid dissonant (or "key clashing," i. e. , out of tune with one another) mixes by DJs who do not mix harmonically.
