So, I downloaded an alert tone on my phone after searching for trance, and got a pretty nice, few seconds long trance tune I wasn't familiar with. I liked it so this evening I have been trying to make a tune out of it.
So my question to you is, does anyone know please if a tune with this melody already exists before I waste any time on it? lol [please also tell me if you have never heard it]
No structure yet of course, just 3 chunks of a track not so elegantly merged :p
Might still go with a variation of this anyway if not, I'm enjoying making it.
Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

Thanks magnus, will do, although I have a habit of not finishing stuff! lol I tend to hit barriers in my ability.

yes it has ben done. New melodies don't exist.
It doesn't sound like any particular track so I wouldn't worry about it. IF you had the same melody with the same rhythm and voicings and the same synth , then i would maybe change it but just accept the fact that every melody that follows western tonal tradition has been done.

I am an expert in my field with credentials scholarly and practical that make what I say the opinion of an expert which is good enough for a citation. So there. And i have been cited in music journals. Well music journal. Not that I could prove to you in any objective way but music is like that.
The point i think is that like chords, melodies are also past the point of exhaustion. They are small permutations on things already done. And considering that alot of melodies in trance, would not qualify as a melody ie just using chords having the top note as your intended melody and say there was a big lawsuit, they would call on musicologists that would say it isn't a melody, while others will say it is. I mean when you actually think about it, what is or isn't a melody is a matter of opinion.
The take home message is that it doesn't matter.
That is the great part of having a masters from Juilliard. It is the equivalent of a harvard law degree. I can just say and i might be wrong but it doesn't really matter. At that point , it is just a difference of opinion.

haha law works exactly that way, in the end what is important is what the high court says, they could say sky is pink that people would have to accept it.

I'm aware of your experience, most of us are, I just assumed that level of experience would discourage someone from making objective claims about subjective matters. Guess not.
I just think between all of the key signatures, chords, progressions of said chords, time signatures and subdivisions... it's kind of odd to believe everything's already been done before.
Not that I think you're saying every theoretically possible combination of notes has been done before, but anything less isn't really saying much at all. But like you said, it doesn't matter, so I don't really want to make this a thing.
