so do you think..

In Trance and house when a producer sits down to produce a track they have an underlying theme they want to tackle or do they just produce whatever sounds good together?

I ask this because EDM never really tackles any underlining issues or holds an oppinion on something. its just something to dance too. even if it may trigger feelings within

it's both but mostly for orig tracks you come up with stuff as you go

see I see music as a tool for an artist to paint a picture or to give an opinion or to use it to speak to people and convey a message.

I listen to EDM more specifically trance and house and there is no message.

I believe all art sneds a message. If EDM (house and trance etc.) doesn't try to convey a message or speak to a genre of people can we really consider it art?

if you know the definition of 'art' and 'music' then edm qualifies as both. stop selling homes and go back to school.

not all music is art

art is defined as something that is pleasing to the human senses.


but dude sometimes a pretty picture is just a pretty picture

i think with edm..the message is whatever feelings the track may evoke in you as you listen to it..whatever state you may be in..

I thought this thread was about So You Think You Can Dance Canada :_(

Neither. They usually start out with a simple idea like a melody or vocal line (maybe a bassline) and expand it over time into a whole track.

If they're under contractual obligations or something, then they usually just use a popular formula, or whatever specific formula worked for them in the past.

Pretty much nails it.

I wouldn't say never B. Back in the day, House music was all about messages. Right off the top of my head here are 2 I can think of:

Nu Civilization - Wake Up
Joe Smooth - Promised Land

It's more about how a track flows that makes it different from every other tracks. Also depends on the each individual producers too.

Depends. For me it's always a bi-product of experimentation, but sometimes I do have a theme that I want to cover but at the time of creation I don't know how I'm gonna do that, so I just experiment until I come across something desirable. Occasionally, I will come up with a track title and then a theme will come about from the title. I'll say tho that I always begin with a melody and build around that, rather than going with a beat and producing a theme around that.

What do you consider a message? Because by your standards you've just pointed out that classical music, jazz/blues music is considered art-less in your eyes. I think youre forgetting that if you consider art be a conveyor of pleasurable feelings and senses, then EDM does enough to consider it self an art. The problem is the message is clearer to others than it is to you.

The only message in EDM is to do drugs. Cocaine, Ecstasy, whatever.
