a friend of mine who studied music theory classified traffic as being unusual in terms of chords.. |
thank you, that was my point.

after all he doesn't have any musical background..
and even if it was, it's still a very dull track productionwise.. |
it sure is his intention, but he does it by ear, not by applying the theory (like James Holden and NU NRG do). the reason i've been such a tiesto addict for almost six years now is that he has an exceptional musical ear, both production and yes, mixing-wise (but that's off topic here). the greatest common factor in his productions all the way from the Stray Dog, Allure days up to the present day with Traffic/Faithfulness/Adagio rmx has been the original and unusual use of tonal melodic/harmonic progressions in the minimalist process of trance-making. these qualities are lacking
in most of the stuff that someone like Armin or Ferry produce nowadays.
