They start with the basics, build up to a break, use pretty much the same melody in the break with a maybe an extra phrase tacked on, then a buildup which drops right back into the intro.
While I do like the concept of build and break (would it be considered trance otherwise?), I still feel like there's plenty of room for more creative transitions and contrasting sections. Why can't a melodic breakdown build back up to a completely unexpected sound transformation?
It seems like The A-B-A (or A-A-A if you see it that way) is a cop out on creativity. Sure it's much harder to drop into a completely different phrase and make it sound good, but it's got to make for an awesome opportunity to do something new IMO. |
I've tried to experiment with introducing completely new leads and melodies into tracks, but I've never quite managed to pull it off. I think you've got to have a really good transition to make it work, or perhaps make it not too dissimilar to the original.
