(Redirected fromTrance Music)

Tranceis a genre ofelectronic dance music[11]that emerged fromEBMinFrankfurt, Germany,in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and quickly spread throughout Europe.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

Trance music is typically characterized by atempobetween 120 and 150 beats per minute (BPM),[7]repeatingmelodicphrases[7]and amusical formthat distinctly builds tension and elements throughout a track often culminating in 1 to 2 "peaks" or "drops".[7]Although trance is a genre of its own, it liberally incorporates influences from other musical styles such astechno,[4][2]house,[1][2]chill-out,[4]classical music,[4][5]tech house,ambientandfilm scores.[5]

Atranceis a state ofhypnotismand heightenedconsciousness.[19]This is portrayed in trance music by the mixing of layers with distinctly foreshadowed build-up and release. A common characteristic of modern trance music is a mid-song climax followed by a soft breakdown disposing of beats and percussion entirely,[4][7]leaving the melody or atmospherics to stand alone for an extended period before gradually building up again. Trance tracks are often lengthy to allow for such progression and commonly have sufficiently sparse opening and closing sections to facilitate mixing byDJs.[4][7]

Trance is mostlyinstrumental,although vocals can be mixed in: typically they are performed by mezzo-soprano to soprano female soloists, mostly without a traditional verse/chorus structure. Structured vocal form in trance music forms the basis of thevocal trancesubgenre, which has been described as "grand, soaring, and operatic" and "ethereal female leads floating amongst the synths". However, male singers, such as Jonathan Mendelsohn, are also featured.[20][21]

History

edit
Trance Energy Festival atUtrecht
Psychedelic trance culture ofKaZantipin 2006, with decorations commonplace at trance parties

The KLF's "What Time is Love?(Pure Trance) "was released in the UK in 1988. The earliest years of Trance were defined by Frankfurt labels such asEye Q,Harthouse,Fax +49-69/450464,Force Inc., and others. Producers such asPete Namlook,Oliver Lieb,andRolf Ellmercreated noteworthy tracks such as "Eternal Spirit" by 4Voice, "Hearts" byL.S.G.,and "We Came in Peace" byDance 2 Trance.[22][23]

Much of the development of trance can be traced to Sven Vath, who was heavily influenced by his experiences traveling toGoawhere DJs were using psychedelic rock and other sounds to induce a trance state at beach parties.[24]Vath,Dag Lerner, andTorsten Fenslauhad an affection for hypnotic dance sounds and the music atDorian Grayand Omen began to reflect this.[23]

Vath launched Eye Q with Heinz Roth and Matthias Hoffman in 1991, followed by Harthouse in 1992, releasing some of the most well-known trance tracks of the era. Eye Q took a softer approach to trance with records such asCygnus X's "The Orange Theme," Brainchild's "Symmetry" and Vernon's "Wonderer." Harthouse focused on a harder trance sound with tracks such as Quicksand bySpicelab,Spectrum by Metal Master, Human by Resistance D, and Acperience byHardfloor.[22][23]The sound of Frankfurt was the sound of trance. DJ Dag Lerner, one half of Dance to Trance has stated that he was the first to call his music trance and "gave the child his name."[25]The genre got its name from the trance-like state the music attempted to emulate in the 1990s before the genre's focus changed.[26]

In a 2006 interview with Resident Advisor, Sven Vath acknowledged the role of his labels Eye Q and Harthouse in helping to create what people know as trance music today, going on to say that "people are getting a wrong interpretation of what trance music is all about" and differentiating his own form from modern forms saying "They are following a format -- always producing the same structure. It's a pop format for trance."[27]

As German Trance made its way back to Goa, a new subgenre emerged that was more organic in sound with an oriental aesthetic in its melodies, often with references to Eastern philosophy. Goa trance would go on to spawn many sub-genres of its own, including psytrance, psybreaks, and others.[28]

In 1991 in Berlin,MFS Recordsbegan to gain a trance profile, signing Mijk van Dijk, Cosmic Baby, and Paul van Dyk, soon releasing some of the most well-known early trance tracks such as Love Stimulation by Humate and Perfect Day by Visions of Shiva, as well as perhaps the first ever trance compilation, Tranceformed From Beyond.[29]While writer Bom Coen traces the roots of trance toPaul van Dyk's 1993 remix of Humate's "Love Stimulation",[1]there is little evidence to support this contention. In fact, van Dyk's own Trance roots can be traced further back to his work with Visions of Shiva, van Dyk's trance project withCosmic Babycoming earlier.[30]Early on, Paul van Dyk had been relatively sidelined on the scene, but his collaboration with Cosmic Baby quickly led him into the heart of the scene.[31]

In the UK, the British approach to trance music and house music was similar: progressive chord structures, crescendos, longer breakdowns, and more organic instruments.[32]In 1993Platipus Recordswas launched bySimon Berryas an outlet for Barry's various projects, includingUnion Jack,Clanger, Art of Trance. Platipus would become one of the most consequential progressive trance labels. Another influential label of progressive trance wasHooj Choonswith notable trance releases from artistsTilt,Oliver Lieb,Solarstone,as well as the well-known Three N' One remix ofCafe Del MarbyEnergy 52.

In Germany, a harder sub-genre of trance emerged. With a faster tempo and gated pads, hard trance introduced the breakdown-build-anthem template that would become nearly ubiquitous in later trance sub-genres. Hard trance would inspirehardhouse,hard uplifting,jumpstyle,NRG, andhardstyle.Perhaps the best known label for this subgenre of trance wasBonzai Records,a sublabel of Lightning Records with notable tracks includingJones & Stephenson's The First Rebirth, Cherry Moon Trax's The House of House,[33]Blue Alphabet's Cybertrance[34]to name a few.

By the late 1990s, uplifting took over the scene with its fast tempo, characteristic builds, long breakdowns and big drops.[35]In the early 2000s, pop-style vocals began being added into the music.[4]The development of another subgenre, epic trance, finds some of its origins in classical music,[4]with film music also being influential.[5]Trance was arguably at its commercial peak in the second part of 1990s and early 2000s.[36][37]Afterwards, popular trance music providers such asArmin van Buuren'sA State of Trance,Paul van Dyk,andAbove & Beyondremained popular, while lesser known DJs changed to other sounds.[38]In 2017 a new wave of underground DJs such asNina Kravizbegan incorporating trance music into their sets.[38][39]

In 2023, an effort byJohn 00 Flemingand others ledBeatportto split their trance genre category into two: Trance (Main Floor) and Trance (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic). The latter designed for the underground side of the genre.[40]

Production

edit
Roland JP-8000,a synthesizer famous for its incorporation of thesupersawwaveform

Trance employs a 4/4time signature,[7]generally a tempo of 125 to 150BPM,[7][35]though the music can be any tempo, and 16 or 32 beatphrases.[41]Akick drumis usually placed on everydownbeatand a regular openhi-hatis often placed on theupbeat.[7]While the majority of trance music uses the same "four-on-the-floor" beat as house and techno, in trance the kick drum is often de-emphasized to give space to the bassline, whereas in house and techno the kick drum is heavily emphasized, oftentimes being the loudest sound in the mix. Extra percussive elements are usually added, and in recent years major transitions, builds or climaxes are often foreshadowed by lengthy "snare rolls" —a quick succession of snare drum hits that build in velocity, frequency, and volume towards the end of a measure.[7]

A Simple arpeggiated (Roland JP-8000) Supersaw waveform pattern with chorus and flanging (Some professionals used Lexicon Hall programs without pre-delay.)
A trancegate pattern at 141 bpm as it is heard on a software trancegate using a Roland JP-8000 with the supersaw waveform and minor EQ edits. The gated pattern gradually changes to demonstrate the various rhythms possible with a trance gate. Note that some trancegate patterns are off-beat.

Rapidarpeggiosandminor keysare common features of trance, the latter being almost universal.[citation needed]Trance tracks often use one central "hook",or melody, which runs through almost the entire song, repeating at intervals anywhere between 2 beats and 32 bars, in addition to harmonies and motifs in different timbres from the central melody.[7]Instruments are added or removed every 4, 8, 16, or 32 bars.[7]

In the section before the breakdown, the lead motif is often introduced in a sliced up and simplified form,[7]to give the audience a "taste" of what they will hear after the breakdown.[7]Then later, the final climax is usually "a culmination of the first part of the track mixed with the main melodic reprise".[7]

As is the case with many dance music tracks, trance tracks are usually built with sparser intros ( "mix-ins" ) and outros ( "mix-outs" ) to enable DJs to blend them together immediately.[4][7]

EDM-infused forms designed for festival main stages often incorporate other styles and elements of electronic music such aselectroandprogressive houseinto its production. It emphasizes harsher basslines and drum beats which decrease the importance of offbeats and focus primarily on afour on the floorstylistic house drum pattern. The BPM of more recent styles tends to be on par withhouse musicat 120 to 135 beats per minute. However, unlike house music, recent forms of Uplifting continue to feature melodic breakdowns and longer transitions.[42]

Subgenres

edit
Main articles:List of trance genresandList of electronic music genres

Trance music is broken into a number of subgenres includingacid trance,classic trance,hard trance,progressive trance,[4]anduplifting trance.[4]Uplifting tranceis also known as "anthem trance", "epic trance",[4]"commercial trance", "stadium trance", or "euphoric trance",[7]and has been strongly influenced by classical music in the 1990s[4]and 2000s by leading artists such asFerry Corsten,Armin Van Buuren,Tiësto,Push,Rank 1and at present with the development of the subgenre "orchestral uplifting trance" or "uplifting trance with symphonic orchestra" by such artists as Sound Apparel,Andy Blueman,Ciro Visone, Soundlift, Arctic Moon, and Sergey Nevone & Simon O'Shine, among others. Closely related to uplifting trance isEurodance,which has become a general term for a wide variety of highly commercialized European dance music. Notably late in the 1990s, German producerATBrevolutionized the scene of the aforementioned Eurodance with his hit single "9 PM (Till I Come)".Several subgenres are crossovers with other major genres of electronic music. For instance,tech tranceis a mixture of trance and techno, andvocal trance"combines [trance's] progressive elements with pop music".[4]Thedream trancegenre originated in the mid-1990s, with its popularity then led byRobert Miles,who composedChildrenin 1996. Recently, there is also a very small subgenre called "medieval trance", which combines medieval elements together with trance elements, e.g. Maestro Giano, Green Clouds and other artists, which are effectively a kind of "reverseBardcore".

AllMusicstates on progressive trance: "the progressive wing of the trance crowd led directly to a more commercial, chart-oriented sound since trance had never enjoyed much chart action in the first place. Emphasizing the smoother sound ofEurodanceor house (and occasionally more reminiscent ofJean-Michel JarrethanBasement Jaxx), Progressive Trance became the sound of the world's dance floors by the end of the millennium. Critics ridiculed its focus on predictable breakdowns and relative lack of skill to beat-mix, but progressive trance was caned by the hottest DJ. "[43]
