| Also, isn't DJ Mystik the dude who renamed a bunch of music files and put them on file-sharing services to fool people into thinking that he created them? |

No, not necessarily; he might have put his name on it without doing much of anything. Nobody really knows, except Tiesto and his production partners / engineers.

I wouldn't say it's really good, but it's decent and has some nice sounds in there. Not really my style anymore, but the production is there. |

I don't know for sure, but I thought DJ Mystik was the file-sharing scandal guy. I could be wrong. |

I don't get the whole thing about seperating traditional musicians who write conventional music and calling them 'musicians' from those who write electronic music.
Last I checked...
Trance = Music, therefore, good trance artists = good musicians |

| so ur saying that its the same thing? So there jus tas good as anyone else? |

I don't really care if a person knows how to take out staff paper and write out a whole song, but knowing the harmonic and melodic principles of Western music will only help somebody. Whether he applies that knowledge through a sequencer or whatever else isn't that important; the important part is the knowledge itself.
And "breaking the rules" isn't relevant here since trance isn't and has never been very adventurous with tonality or harmony. It can't afford to be if it wants to remain catchy and get people out on the dance floor. |

http://files.filefront.com//;6504165;;/
if you would dl it and tell me how good it is. I really think if you tried to play this song, it would be pretty difficult. You would have to know what ur doing. |

I get what you're saying, but I'm thinking outside the box here. It'll help them compose along the lines of western music. But there are other aspects to music where those principles are completely irrelevant. For example...

Like take BT's "Flaming June", it works on a dance floor, but it certaintly sounds more musical and compositional than Tiesto's "Flight 643" which basically is one note and a beat going on and on... |
Both are just as 'musical' as the other. Except that Flaming June is more conventional and along the lines of (like you said) western music, which revolves around melodic progression. Melody is not a nessessary aspect of music. For instance, some forms of music are entirely percussive, and that doesn't make them any less musical than, say, Puccini's Manon Lescaut. |
