| It tends to be vague colors and shapes (incidentally, I've yet to hear a track named amber that actually give me the impression of the color amber). For the most part I keep it to that realm. |

| Depends on the track and style. With epic, uplifting trance, I usually think of fantasy or science fiction type worlds or I picture lots of bright flashing lights or waves even, kind of like you see on visuals at clubs or on visualization like on Winamp. More abstract type things. With more deeper, slower progressive, melodic trance...similar fantasy worlds but with less action...with a mystical aura around it, and nature scenes with sunrises, sunsets, fog, blue sky, waterfalls, clouds, night sky, stars or outer space etc. I think trance is quite evocative music, though I have been listening more to some music which IMO is even more evocative...like Amethystium and Ulrich Schnauss, more melodic downtempo and ambient stuff. But definitely it's the more melodic music that is visually evocative, and trance is definitely one of the more melodic forms of EDM, next to house. |

With the exception of Spirit5, you all seem vaguely unimaginative -- no offense...
To me, music is suppost to give a vision. Even if it is 'Dance' music, there should be an overriding vibe to draw emotions and atmosphere from. In turn, these packets of feeling draw one's soul to distant places that memory and vision are accompanied by.
FOR instance...
Certain "DRIVING" trance songs that are fast paced, bassline heavy, and melodically euphoric cast my visions to fast paced mayhem. This cataclysmic focus is sometimes on battlefields -- darting through deep nebula filled with danger at every turn, or a medival march into a fantastic world of ancient powers, or the eternal battle of two dualing sword-masters. Other focuses include flight of various forms, factories building form after form... even driving through all kinds of metropolis at unheard of speeds.
Ibiza trance is, of course, centered around the beachy, islandic, sunset-with-a-girl motif. However, sometimes I don't quite limit it to that. I've heard some tracks that make me think of travel, or distant places that are sweepingly ethereal, surreal, and empty of death.
Certain epic trance makes me feel like I'm in a story of a developing character. THe coolness and the whimsical reflectiveness of melodic descent sometimes take me to trials of sadness in my own life it they are minor-key or in the lives of other faces; real of implied. If it's more uplifting, I see storybook-like sets of heros mounted over cliffs towards the realized futures. Often times, I'll think about dark streets with happy city people... or dark streets with rain pondering the coldness upon one's drenched exterior.
I remember the song "Textures" by Robert Miles in his Dreamland CD... I had a very clear vision of a twilight city with red clouds, and dim figures of people scurrying about in countless skyscrapers. It was modern time, and sometimes the clouds descended into fog. It was a very clear picture I received.
Psy trance can take me to the surface of Jupiter, and back to the stupid-er lame planets that I have no comprehension of. Dark psy-trance, however, can really do wonders to my imagination if applied properly. Deep laboratories, secrets, organizations, underground societies, monsters, aliens-taking-up-arms, zombies, legions of "others" from the dark worlds, the hideous strength behind the darkened closets.... it's truly remarkable - BWAHAHAHAAA!
Gah... I haven't even touched music asides from trance... Oh well, I'm up too late again! |

i always go the reverse.. i fiind the track title and then i try to imagine how the artist depicted that title through the music.
Sometimes if i dont know the title ill try to think of the samples and what they represent. |
