  1. Hi ppl!

    image.png.f0e2b910255a2572eb4de46d84be0d6b.png

    Since a couple of weeks now this release has been out in the public but i had not posted anything about it here so, here goes. :)

    I have problems as artist to create enough tracks for a complete album and want to share with you all completed tracks without having to wait for me to finish enough tracks for an album so i will be, going forward at least for now do single (or 2-3) track EP:s and release myself. Similar to what i did with Starstepper but with a different service called Ditto Music.

    With this service i also release the music onto Juno Download and Beatport but also many many more stores around the world reaching more people.

    First release is this track, Secrets in the stars and you can find it on the common stores for streaming and downloads.

    https://ditto.fm/secrets-in-the-stars

    https://www.beatport.com/release/secrets-in-the-stars/2936428

    I am also re-releasing Starstepper so it is now available on Beatport but currently unavailable on Spotify and other stores but it should reappear on those also soon.

    Take care!

  2. Most of you know my Trinodia project but my ambient sideproject, Voxel9 is not as known here or on Facebook (300 somewhat followers compared to 1500+ of the Trinodia page).

    Lately i have produced more ambient music than Goa trance and the result of 2-3 years of producing drone/chill and what it can be called (im not sure myself) this is the result.

    8 new tracks, three has been previewed on Soundcloud so they might be recognized if you follow me there.

    Tracklist as follows:

    1. Floating 07:49
    2. Sound E-scape 10:54
    3. Circular 08:16
    4. Cosmic Ascension 08:45
    5. Tinkering 10:49
    6. Watching The Stars 09:35
    7. Riding The Waves 07:52
    8. Crystalized Memories 06:57

    It can be previewed and purchased here: http://voxel9.bandcamp.com/album/cosmic-ascension

    It will be released through Amuse.io services also and distributed by them to Spotify, iTunes and other streaming and download services but Bandcamp is the first i made it available on.

    Go listen, comment, let me know what you think :)

  3. Hello fellow goaheads :)

    It has become time for me to present my new album containing 5 previously unreleased tracks, two remixes, one previously released track, and a - dont want to call it remix but optional version of the original release ;)

    The album is called Starstepper and is now released on Bandcamp. Spotify, iTunes and other services will be up on the 27th and distribution is done by Amuse.io. Streams, sales and downloads earnings are given back to me, the artist to 100% so by listening to the music you support me directly just as with Bandcamp. It is not released through any label.

    Mastering has been done with a online service and personally i think it worked out good :)

    Artwork as usual by myself.

    This album has taken many years to create. Some of you might recognize the title track Starstepper from my facebook page since i did a short video from the studio when it was getting produced back in 2016 but also even back to 2012 for the Planet Number 12 remix.

    Tracklist is as follows:

    1. Planet Number 12 (2012 Mix) 06:50
    2. Goa Feelings 09:18
    3. Free Form 08:54
    4. Pulsating Neurons 07:56
    5. Spaced Out To Noise 09:24
    6. Deceive My Eyes 09:40
    7. Starstepper 08:54
    8. 7th Ace (Optional Bass Mix) 09:05
    9. Human History (Ambient Mix) 10:26

    It can be listened to and purchased here: http://trinodia.bandcamp.com/album/starstepper

  4. Ok, since it isn't really out until it's on CD, I ehm... "borrowed" it from the Internet. As I said, I can hear a lot of similarities to Classical, I'd say the problem is that those good "orchestral" and more musically sophisticated parts are further apart and shorter, separated by a lot of nothing, i.e. pumping kick + bass of different flavours. But it's still much better and more creative - musically - than a lot of full-on or prog: there's this unmistakable charm to Erez's chord progressions, that no one else seems to be able to replicate (maybe Talpa?) and it just works, when he's allowed to do it. It's great to see that Duvdev & his singing is really restrained here - there's just one song where it's heard clearly (in others it's heavily processed, to the point of not sounding like voice anymore) "Groove Attack" and it's actually very good, because it's a short phrase and doesn't offend more (IMO, actually less...) than the singing in "Dracul" off of Classical Mushroom.

     

    All in all, it won't set your world on fire like early IM trilogy did, but it's really great to see them returning to more "proper" psychedelic trance, at least their interpretation of it.

     

    As soon as the CD is out, I'm buying it!

    Just had a quick listen on spotify today but i agree with what you say. It is back to psytrance again and more of the original infected sound with tweaking and twisting effects, quite complex melodies and chord progressions.

    I liked what i heard but will take a more detailed listen some other day but first impression is best one in a long time from them.

  5. Baselines and bass patches for me is perhaps also a bit different from the norm.

     

    I don't save patches when it comes to bass sounds (and most other sounds aswell) so I start out with a blank init patch and go from there. I might use a single saw with 24db filter. Or a pwm saw with sin sub or square sub or even saw sub. I have used many different synths for the bass in my tracks and some worked well, others not so much and most times when I change it is because of the tightness of the envelopes in their attack and how well the oscillators sound. Filters IMO nowdays tend to be quite similar on different plugins. All in all it when it comes to bass sounds for me it depends on the track I'm making and I go back and adjust the bass sound during the production of the track. I tend to have another track that doubles the bass notes with a wider more grittier sound that is one or two octaves above the bass and that has the lower frequencies cut off with an EQ. Sometimes I use a short reverb on the bass, ping Pong delay and so on, all depending on what fits the current track.

     

    In terms of groove I don't use shuffle alot. I have done but I tend to work with alternating length of notes and instead of removing 16s notes I shorten them down so they are almost just a click and that gives a rhythmic groove.

     

    I always use sidechain compression on the bass to duck it using the kick as source. I dont use EQ most times on the bass sound but that also depends on the track and how the other sounds give room (or not) for the bass sound in the mix. If the bass needs more attack I add a second compressor after the sidechain to sculpt the sound better, not agressive compression but enough to give it a little boast in the attack.

     

    Am I ever pleased with my bass sounds? Never... So the search Always goes on :)

     

    I agree that old school psy and goa were much more varied in how the bass sounded, both I melodies and sound and I'm more into that than today's progressive standard basslines. That said I have done those aswell and in some tracks they work well but I dont like to just use the same over and over again, it's too easy and does not Challenge the listener enough.

     

    Just my couple of thoughts :)

  6. Goa Records is very honored and excited to continue releasing the many amazing creations from Swedish psychedelic Goa Trance master Trinodia. On "The Journey Towards Goa 2002-2008" it is now time to explore the history of the Trinodia projects journey through many trance music experiments towards Goa Trance! In the year 2002, Daniel started the Trinodia project and that is where this journey begins. Follow us through times of classic forest psychedelic trance, through a bit of tech trance, forward into the explorations of the psychedelic trance and onto the energetic full-on period. To end it all Trinodia goes back to the start again. Back into the forest and ends with one of the first tracks created for the Trinodia project back in 2002. Enjoy this travel through a variety in styles, not the Goa Trance that he is known for today but if you listen closely you can always hear a timbre, melody, sound or feeling of Goa Trance in the background in all tracks.

    Go get it at Beatport. More stores will be available in a couple of weeks.

    Digital release only!

  7. The Trinodia track is from, well i think 2007 or somewhere around there. Those days i were into making Full On and this track together with some others has been released on a couple of compilations.

     

    First track i produced? Not really :) I can guarantee you don't want to hear that little gem from 1991 :)

     

    This is altho the first (and possibly the only) from that time period that has been featured on a Timewarp compilation and i think it was some kind of compromice being that i have really slowed down a lot in tempo of producing new goatrance music. I do hope to bounce back and make some new tracks soon tho :)

     

    Soon there will be a release featuring 30 of my previously unreleased tracks from 2001 to 2008. There are some full on tracks there also but also pure pystrance, tech trance and some, well i dont know how to define them really but they are quite experimental for being me... Will be intresting to hear your thoughts on that, being that most tracks are not the kind i produce today. :)

  8. As one of the remixers i thought i would give my input on this matter :)

     

    I was approached by Tsuyoshi himself on Facebook and it was his suggestion to make remix of Alien Pets and i gladly accepted. Remixing a legend like Prana it doesn't matter what track really. It's an honor to get the question at all. After the remix has been done i actually started doing a remix of Primal Orbit but have not gotten far with it yet, not sure if i ever will finish it.

     

    About the Alien Pets remix.

     

    Firstly, there were NO, meaning zero material to base the remix from. No midis, no audio tracks, no samples to use or what so other than a original wav file that is the same as the original complete track that can be found on the original release.

    That makes the work to reproduce the original melodies more like making a cover than an actual remix since you have to recreate as good as you are possible to do what the original was and how it was made and constructed.

     

    I made my remix almost complete and then exported three midi files for the main melodies and shared them with Imba and Filteria. I doubt any of them used them as they were since there were flaws in them, both in note lengths and i bet there were some notes missing in them also. One of the melodies in Alien Pets is quite random in it's notes and i took the time and put them in, one by one to try to get them all correct but i am fairly sure i in the end missed quite a few towards the end. Also i did not include all melodies from the original, maybe a mistake but it is a remix as stated. Not a cover meaning i am free to be creative to some extent.

     

    I also found out from what movie the original vocals where from (thanks to psydb.net that has listed a lot of tracks and what movies the vocals in thems come from), located the part where it was from, sampled those and processed them to make them sound as close as the original as i could. These i did also share with Imba and Filteria so they would not have to redo that work.

     

    Again, i don't know if they used them or not but if they had come with the same offer to me, i would have gladly taken the help and used it as a foundation to build on.

     

    Soundwise, well, my remix is a Trinodia remix after all and also a cover meaning i tried to reproduce the original sounds with what i have at my disposal but at the same time add some Trinodia sound into the mix. I know it doesnt suit all and i am fine with that.

     

    Normally, a remix means you most likely get some parts of the original track (at least of my experience). May that be melodies, effects, drums, vocals or midis but at least something but as the case is with these older tracks, most of the times the artist very rarely have any access to the original work that was made. I also have a lot of tracks that were made in the 90s that i have no possibility to release today without redoing them from the first note to the last sound. So far i have done that with only one track (Top Secret, 2013 mix) and i still like the original better, it has more soul which i guess is the case also with the remix/cover of Alien Pets. :)

     

    Other artists are most certainly better at reworking the original to its smallest bits, notes and sounds. Personally i am not that persistent when it comes to reworking other artists work other than to a certain point when i decide i have it "close enough" and i can add my parts to it while still maintaining an original feel.

     

    Anyway, i am pleased with the result myself and i know others are as well. Can't please you all, that's an impossible task :)

     

    Just my thoughts on this :)

  9. Thanks for the review :)

    Yep, it is a bit dated and the release is more of a back catalog release than a fresh new release. There are more of those coming up later on since i have both a lot of unreleased material +

    My favourites on this album is Halfdeaph and Groove it up most on this album followed by Hunger for ESP (mostly for the darker energy) and Whispering Truths (mostly for the groove)

    Fun fact is that i had an ear infection from a flu while i was making the track Halfdeaph and could only hear on one of my ears, thats why it is called that. :)

  10. Hey there!

     

    Just thought I would post my remix for the Tempest remix competition here aswell.

     

    It was a quickly made remix so it is what it is but I am pleased enough with it to participate with it in the competition.

     

    Hope you all will enjoy :) comments are welcome and don't forget to like the track on soundcloud if you like what you hear!

  11. Thanks for putting it up here :)

    Well, to be honest :) This is a remaster of the original release back in 2004. The original was a whitelabel release meaning i burned cds myself and sold at parties. :)

    This remaster contains also two tracks that were not on the original release, those being the Voxel9 track Transita Astra and the Trinodia track Its all static.

    Just as a side note i AM working on finalizing my new goa trance album that will be released later this year so production of new things are also happening :)

    Ovnimoon Records welcomes Trinodia aka Daniel Eldström to our label with a presentation of his newest full length album titled 'Stargazing'.

     

    From track one through to track eight the listener will be shocked and amazed to hear such artistic and perfectly crafted old school style Goa trance music made with completely modern production quality. The album gets capped off with track nine giving a taste from his down-tempo chill-out side project Voxel9.

    'Stargazing' is a concept album with each track having a focus on deep space observations, presented through intelligent and epic melodic sounds and patterns not heard often in current music trends.

    Daniel is from Sweden and first found his love for performing psychedelic trance in 1992, since then he has been perfecting his sound and releasing his musical creations on hisown and through net-labels since 2003.

     

    All psytrance fans are sure to enjoy this musical adventure through the cosmos while at home or while trancing on your favourite dance-floors anywhere in the universe. Be prepared for much more amazing music from Trinodia as well as upcoming albums from his Voxel9 ambient side project.

  13. It's been a year in the making but now it's finaly going to be released :)

     

    Feels really good to get a full length album out properly and it's great to have such good help as the help i have from Imba and Richpa for releasing this album. Ofcourse big thanks to mr Ektoplazm, Basilisk for releasing it there.

     

    Hope you all will enjoy it :)

  14. @Basilisk Good point ;) I have followed this thread and i have of course an opinion about both matters (mastering and releasing free music).

     

    Mastering: It could have been done better, and it could have cost money. But this is a free release and i did not have the money nor the will to really master the tracks better. I thought it was good enough the way it is and i cant really say the original mixes pre master is top notch either so they did a good job with the mastering bringing the tracks up bit in quality.

     

    Free music: The tracks of this EP were actually put online about 18 months ago on my own website for free downloads. A couple of months later some mp3 release group put it online at other places as a release of "unreleased tracks". Even more later an EP were released with some of the tracks from this EP on Yamendo as a free download release. And now some of them are released on Ektoplazm as yet another free release. Im not into music making to make money, sure it would be fun to get back what i have put into gear and software in the somewhat 20 years i have done music now but this is the wrong genre to make money out of. I do my music in first hand for myself to enjoy so why not let other people get to enjoy it aswell for free.

     

    Releasing things on my own website tho has its limitations as in how far the news spread so a site like Ektoplazm is great since it has a whole different reputation when it comes to free releases.

     

    I would happily, if no record company wants to release the album im working on at the moment release it on Ektoplazm for free download. As i see it, the only reason for really relasing any music on CD these days is so those who want it on cd can get it on cd. And when it gets released as a mp3 release, wich all psy/goa/prog etc releases anyway do (even if they are just free download releases) i only see that as a good thing since the music then gets spread to more people who can enjoy it. The only downside then is that there is no release online in WAV or FLAC so it can be enjoyed in higher quality and also the record company might not get back what they invested in releasing the cd.

     

    So i say thanks to Basilisk for his hard work and dedication to bring out good releases to the public, and yeah its been a long long time since we talked about releasing some of my tracks online but now its done :)

    Laugh and Dance Records has evolved from a local group of party organizers in Gothenburg, Sweden.

     

    Powered by the event company 'Mumix' and the web community 'Swedish Mushroom', and with the determination to introduce Full on into the Swedish club scene, the Laugh and Dance team has during the last three years taken the place as the premier Swedish promoter and event organizer.

     

    Among the artists playing at these events we've had the pleasure to see Perplex, Didrapest, Ananda Shake, Trinodia and S.o.L.

     

    The Laugh and Dance sound can be recognized as a joyful, high tempo, melodic trance sound. Pretty much typical Full On, but we also present some dark and dirty tunes in the form of Progressive/ Hi-Tech trance and Progressive/ Elecro-house. The vision of this company is not only to bring our Swedish crowd well produced dance music but also to become somewhat equivalent in the trance/ house scene in Scandinavia as for example how Ministry of Sound has established themselves in the European club scene.

     

    Featuring artists:

    01. Electroscape - Cloud Break

    02. Perplex vs Tactic - Samsera

    03. Mojo jojo - 10 times more powerfull than the sun

    04. Trinodia - A11

    05. Ananda Shake vs Kitty - Love story

    06. S.o.L - New Thoughts

    07. Didrapest - Funky fish

    08. Panta Rei - Flare 10.b

    09. Rapid Evolution - Ultra Rapid

     

    We want to thank all the guys supporting us and taking part in our lifes and lately the last year also the cool guys from israel Ronen, Hanan, Osher, Lior, Eldad, Yoni, Avi having some nice time at our parties

     

    For information on where to buy the CD and previews of tracks please visit http://www.laughanddance.se/releases.aspx

     

    Peace!
