    HWhat is NeuroTrance?!

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Pretty daft to call it Neuro Trance (not meaning to slag you off) but almost all music that I listen to would be Neuro Trance....

    Ahhh well I'm not the one who coined the term, but its funny I was talking to my friend from Asheville about this same exact thing the other week....and next time I speak to her, I'll ask her to clarify for me...maybe I'm not properly explaining the music they've labeled 'neuro' and why...

     

    perhaps think also like, neuro as in neurotic, neurosis.....i.e. scattered, indecision...music that makes you feel crazy...joe's description of "full power getting into the brain stuff." works for me....its the darker stuff thats not really melodic at all and sometimes sounds like it has no specific direction....

    OK.

    So as far as I know, neurotrance, or simply what has started to be known as 'Neuro' was a term coined by a few friends of mine who are living down in Asheville, NC who were in search of another means of describing the music they are into...i.e. 'darkpsy', or in New York "psy-stomp" or what our friends on the west coast of the US had started calling "Trauma Trance". (See below)

    "The second release from San Francisco label Mistress of Evil Records, ...

    ... seeks to define the concept of Trauma Trance: Music that was meant to shake you up mentally, to stir up your emotions and push you forward to new perceptions and ways of thinking. Trauma Trance is not about dark vs. light, negative vs. positive, or any other dichotomy. It is music that tests the limits of your mind and makes you question your own sanity (and the sanity of the artists!). Step aside from the traditionally negative connotation of the word trauma and allow the music to alter your consciousness"

     

    Neuro came about as a means of describing this same music without the negative connotations of the word "trauma". So Neuro, as in neurological as in music that affects your nervous system and your mind....music that makes you think...

     

    I'm pretty sure this is a term I haven't heard used outside of the US, and the 'Neuro' subgenre of psytrance seems to be most popular in the southeast part of the country....you don't really hear the term Neuro here in new york for example...

     

    Hope that explanation helps :)

    What I heard of her live set in Ohio back in January was great, she's definiately got her own unique sound going on, something that a lot of artists these days seem to NOT have...and Texas Hate off of VA-Neverending Story was one of my favorite tracks of 2006. Haven't heard this album yet, but definately plan to pick it up for sure when i next cross paths with Egnogra.... :)

    A new style of DJ set?

    well, ms. i quit trance 5 times in a year, what do you think? wink.gif

     

    *****seems like there is a line missing right here.

    hehehe

    I would really like to know what your feeling is on all this, Lauryn, since the post you made never really made it clear, possibly becuase you edited it by chance?

     

    Peace and respect,

    Quasga

    So, I was just as curious as you, i went through my chat history and found the missing line....not really sure why it was missing in the first place honestly...

     

    .::::Lauryn $#^&%$&^$@!!: welll. i think he must be reevaluating his personal priorites and musical goals as an artist. I'm sure he'll be back on the scene in full force sometime soon. if he really enjoys making music, then why would it matter, and why would he stop....

    But that was back in Cctober 2006 right before I shaved it off and dontated to wigs for kids (cancer org). A little girl is happily wearing it now, hopefully. :)

    I totally don't remember you having long hair like that! But then maybe its been that long since i've seen you in person! :P Hope you're well!

    Well, I didn't have the time or the hardware to burn all my originals so I just took what I needed...

     

    I had no trouble keeping them in my sight and secure...

     

    However...

     

    I found out the hard way, that in order to get paid for anything in Canada one needs a work permit. Which I didn't have. Customs actually called Chris from Organix, and told him that if I were to play, the club could be shut down. THey told me I could be deported and banned from Canada. I nearly got turned away. They wanted to make sure I actually had a job and a home. And after seeing all the junkies and homeless up there, I can sorta understand. But, grilling me and pulling me aside just because I have dreads is fucked up cultural profiling.

     

    So, next time Im "visiting friends", and Im bringing the phone numbers for my work, all my bosses, my parents... Anything those smug border pig fucks could need.

    Ahhhh been there to visit friends three times this year and not been hastled at all. I find the US Customs much much scarier than the friendly Canadians. Weird that I get nervous when I'm trying to re-enter whats supposed to be my own country....

    Just a question.

    Why is the Psynews time (clock) 2 hours behind? :unsure:

    My post says "6:02 pm", but my time here is 8:02 pm.

     

    Anyone else notice this?

    for your post, it says 12:02am for me, but i think i purposely set my time like this so i could fit in more with everyone from europe.... :unsure:

    Mr peculiar album (infinite evolution )

    in Artist News and Labels announcements

    Posted

    Yay ! In just about two weeks from now the new Mr peculiar is coming to town :D:D

    In just about 2 weeks from now, Mr. Peculiar himself will be in town....tho he's playing a party here with Skazi...and I'll be elsewhere that night.

     

    + 3,14.

    I clicked on this topic to say exactly the same thing.

    Elements was revolutionary.

    Agreed. Elements is one of my all time favorite albums. Mind-dala was such a huge disappointment to me. In 2003, I think about a year after the release of Elements, Mr. Peculiar came to Boston to play a party in the basement of a dorm at MIT....it was probably one of the best parties I remember going to in Boston. All of the music I heard there that night was amazing- much along the same lines as Elements. Most of it I never heard again after that night....word is later that year, his computer crashed and the music was lost.... don't know how true this story is....but regardless. I miss the old Mr. Peculiar. :(
