EDM will go mainstream in the States, and then it will suck. Then we'll all have to become junglists. ; D
But seriously, the super-saw has been around for about a decade. The harpsichord was around for a century. It's a convention of the genre, just as the harpsichord was a convention of baroque music. If you don't like it, don't use it, but when most people think of "trance" today, they hear that sound. Personally, yes, I've heard it a million times, we all have- but I've heard an electric guitar just as many. And by the way, the electric guitar as we know it has been around for over four decades, and it shows no signs of disappearing. I don't hear calls to extirpate the guitar from rock, and I suppose the closest rock music has had to such a thing has been the near-abolition of solos because of their extravagant overuse in the eighties.
The super-saw is part of trance. Producers use it, get tired of it, and eventually, once they've listened to 1,000+ hours of the thing, move on to other genres. I don't think that the super-saw can be completely eliminated from trance without changing the foundations of the genre.

Got my wishes though:
2. As someone said, Trance will be produced by composers, I mean real ones, a new Mozart will emerge! And I will be the most famous of them all!
=)
That was me. And I'm ready to give you a run for your money. =) |
get a clue man. you know how many people have gone an made that remark?
its not a matter of better productions in terms of technicallity, its an issue of creativity, voice, spirituality...among other things. people tend take music for granted sometimes, and sometimes too seriously (i might be crossing that boundry with the spiritual comment) :happy2 ...
anyway in response to the thread topic, id personally like to see trance take a much more organic stance. its gotta loose its cookie cutter, perfected sound, over-used melodies, and the plain simplicity and formation it has garnered over the years. the music just isnt human enough. i cannot relate to it. it just tends to give me this feeling that most describe as "euphoria", a feeling that i found to be false. false for me, that is. if you get your "kicks" from one genre to another, thats nothing but great. its when people are unconsciously (a better word just doesnt come to mind) buying into this music (in its strict mainstream form). i know you've all heard rants like this before, but it always comes to mind with issues resembling these. i just hate how the mainstream is at loss to continue breaking barriers and putting out risk free music. some of this is done unconsciously and unwillingly (the amount of like-sounding music that people buy into is overwhelming), and some of it is carfully planned by industry guru's and the like. OK im digging waaay to deep into this now. i always seem to post pseudo-meaningfull, but lengthy posts that seem too gauge deep into a matter. and in the end it just leaves you scrathing your head looking for a relative ending and a point to be proven, a solution to be solved. etc. ok, im droning again. its 2:33am... im listening to some old Boris Blenn tracks...
you know how it is...
i think

For me, like somebody said, WE are the future of trance. So we gotta start using different synths and evolve this beast. People, pull out your Prophecies, Z1s, AN1xs, Nords...hell...even old synths...be them analog or digital...all the synths that sell for less than a Virus or JP80x0...and start making new sounds. It will be a matter of time before others jump in the bandwagon. Ditch the cookie-cutter bullsh@t and produce something new...don't worry about what others think...just do it...but do it for the love of music, not for the money.
