A Definition of Trance
Music |

Trance music is a subgenre of electronic dance music that developed
in the 1990s. Perhaps the most ambiguous genre in the realm of electronic
dance music (EDM), trance could be described as a melodic, more-or-less
freeform style of music derived from a combination of techno and
house. Regardless of its precise origins, to many club-goers, party-throwers,
and EDM adherents, trance is held as a significant development within
the greater sphere of (post-)modern dance music.
While there is no strict definition for "trance", songs
of this genre are usually characterized by hypnotic elements (hence
the name "trance") and "anthemic" qualities.
Using that as a starting point, a basic trance track could then
be described as being comprised of a particular melodic and/or vocal
hook which is given presence over an uncomplicated bassline, a simple
drum pattern (which often includes snare and/or kick drum rolls
to mark "big moments"), and perhaps one or two other semi-quantified
aural elements to provide texture and enhance the rhythm. Trance
also usually features more complicated chord progressions and melodies
than were found in the music at the time, including 4 chord progressions
symptomatic of 80's new wave music. Trance also heavily uses sawtooth
waved synthesizers more so than other genres. However, not all trance
fits that profile, and often times a song's classification as "trance"
has just as much to do with who is playing it as what it sounds
like. Some listeners claim the music to be euphoric and evokes spiritual
feelings in them.

Subgenres of Trance |
Acid Trance - An early '90's style.
Characterized by the use of the TB-303 drum machine as the lead
synth. Artists: Hardfloor, Simon Berry, Eternal Basement
Classic trance - Original form of
trance music, said to have originated in the very early 90's. Characterized
by less percussion than techno, more melody, arpeggiated melody,
and repetitive melodic chords/arpeggios. Artists: Resistance D,
Progressive Attack, Arpeggiators
Goa trance - A complexly melodic
form of trance named for Goa, India, and originating in the early
90's. Often uses the Arabic scale. Goa Artists: Psygone, mfg, S.U.N.
Project, Man With No Name, Astral Projection
Psychedelic Trance - (Ambiguously
synonymous with Goa trance, less melodic more abstract.) Psy Artists:
Shiva Chandra, Etnica, Infected Mushroom
Hardcore Trance - The hard side of
trance. Can be uplifting (light) or dark.
Progressive Trance - Style of trance
that originated in the early-mid 90's. Differentiated from the then
"regular" Trance by bass chord changes that gave the repeating
lead synth a feeling of "progression" Artists: BT, Cosmic
Baby, Simon Berry
Anthem Trance - Style of trance that
emerged in the wake of progressive trance in the late 90's. Characterized
by extended chord progression in all elements (lead synth, bass
chords, treble chords), extended breakdowns, and relegation of arpeggiation
to the background while bringing wash effects to the fore. Artists:
Vincent De Moor, Ronski Speed, Tiesto
Vocal Trance - Broad term referring
to trance with a full set of lyrics, which may or may not be any
of the above genres. Oftentimes an artist will borrow a singer's
talents as opposed to the singer herself (vocalists are typically
female), or sample from/remix more traditional pop music. Note that
there is some debate as to where the divide lies between Vocal Trance
and pop or eurodance. Popular singers include Marcella Woods, Jan
Johnston, and Jael.
