Usages of trance (part 1)

Trance music is used everywhere such as in ads, clubs, radio show, and games. Sometimes the music is blurred to match the mood of target audience. I see lot of promo videos of cars and car prototypes. It seems to me that people have moved with trance and other form music which is sometimes called fusion or europop. Trance has gained popularity in many places across the world because of the local Dick Jockeys and their mixes.
Many full moons back I saw an ad about Citroen C4 to make it more appealing to young car buyers in France and United Kingdom which worked for the company. The ad was about transformation of the Citroen C4. It made the song, Jacques Your Body by Les Rythmes Digitales more popular in social circles and more and more deejays tried to mix the song which in turn made it even longer.
Another ad by Citroen for the same model which used part of song, Walk away by The egg, which was made to attract younger car buyers for the hatchback. It was about transforming C4 which did cool ice stating tricks. Musical usages in the two ads are meant to attract and projects the coolness of the product. It is not a ripoff off the blockbuster movie Transformer, which most Americans covey from the ads.

Experiment and outlook

I felt my post moved away from my personal post which means less meaning to me. I think provided more diverse point of view which I could never distinguished TV show and the music. I didn't knew about steriotypes with trance music. My tone is more positive towards a specific bands and songs. But the spooky blogger was trying to tell about the negative public image of the music.

The blogger was keen on making connection to a popular TV show, Family Guy which had made lot of spoofs about cultural differences between ignorance and arrogance which makes most of impacts. I don't really connect popular cultural beliefs into my blog because I am far too opposed to the idea making a culture look bad.

"I am just trying to keep this good music alive and well. Many people out there have slandered techno as gay and ignored." He did a good job in making example of correcting the wide belief of the genre. The post moved more towards the point of general overview of gaining audience which I have failed too. I never tried to connect the American media about my blog in general.

I will try to connect the music with some from of media which my peers might have heard about or seen it for my next post.

Guest blog: The Trance, Gay bar Stereotype

As you well know from reading my posts I like electronica music mostly trance, among the other types of electronica. It has become aware to me that a homosexual link to techno may exist, in the form of a gay bar stereotype. Many people who make fun of a gay bar say that it plays pulsing repetitious music to dance to like techno or trance. I have seen TV shows and movies that quickly describe a gay bar scene as many men dancing with black leather vests and hats much like the Village People.
The description is followed by vocal sounds like a techno song to imitate the background music of a gay bar. First off I would like to say that I find this music to be psycadelic and pulsing, weather or not it is played more at a gay bar than a regular bar doesn’t mean anything. This type of reference was used in a “Family Guy” episode in a past season, an insult from baby Stewie towards Brian’s gay cousin and “guy” friend.
In closing I am just trying to keep this good music alive and well. Many people out there have slandered techno as gay and ignored. Much like what some people say about disco, is that techno went that way too. I don’t think techno is dead, thanks to bands like Linkin Park, Moby among others who have brought back and in some cases mixed techno better for future generations to hear it.

What’s the Difference?

Trance is like blend of vocal and electronic synthesized music. Most of the music sounds like high pitch of beats like a car horn and thumping of feet in Irish folk dances. It goes in the along pop and rock songs. Rock songs have high pitched vocals with wild beats and if you mix any electronic sounds to make it fit into trance genre.

The Ishkur guide will guide you more about the different type of electronica music. It will teach you about House, Techno, Trance, Breakbeats, Jungle, Hardcore, and Downtempo. I am more of a trance freak, which mean that I know more about trance music.

Most of the music of trance are remixed singles and songs of mainstream artists. It is not like the original music, but a repition of the vocals and some tunes.

Trance Music and “Makers”

Update:Link changed, Link added in pic updated

As know all know I like trance in general but which? Well I love vocal trance which lets me feel more of the rhythm of songs. Many people think that trance is just computer generated electronic sounds. People fail to realize that human voice have much more emotionally appealing feeling to it.

The Land of Living by Milk Inc is by far is my favorite song because of the slow paced trance which breaks the stereotype of trance. It has a message of people who are not caring for one and another. We are forgotten souls who are wandering and doing stuff that are insulting and hurtful.

Let me remind you guys that trance can be bunch of music blended together. It can be blended with rap, rock, jazz, pop etc.

Deejays like Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk,
ATB and many others have devoted their time and part of their life in effort of making pop music to trance. It's more than music, it's a cult. It is not easily going to fade out of arena. Many of America's best artists are trying to get on trance board like Rihanna, Madonna, and Justin Timberlake.

In Summary, you could be listening to trance but don't know it yet. I think most have heard the music in movies, clubs, bars or parties.
