  1. so have we had a psynews count of people that are going??  I think we should!  Then I know who to look out for  B)

    i m there on 25th and on.

     

    find el brujo and he'll direct you to me :)

     

    or search among workers since i ll be working as volunteer till 29th. my name is ahmet.

     

    or any way i can find you? or anyone?

     

     

     

    all positive spirits are welcome anytime

  2. Hey folks,

     

    as some of you know, i have a radio program going on for 7 years for now and 3 programs later, I will have a break.

     

    the program is basically a psy & goa live set.

     

    a good network of people and some small trance centers have been formed througout the globe during the program times, and for the last 3 progams, you are invited to join us and share the spirit. i would be very happy.

    every wednesday, 19:00 - 21:00 Turkey time

    and 17:00 - 19:00 GMT

  3. Well, that's a start.  But, it is a given more or less that each channel has

    a Zx1 vector I assume right?  Each component in the channel vector being

    a 'bit' (0 or 1) of course.  Begin conjecturing ramble:

    sorry for late response.

    yes each channel is a Zx1 vector, but each element in that vector should be a 16 bit or 24 bit (or 8 bit etc.. depends on the quality of your soundfile) number.

  4. i think,

     

    a new sub genre called new school is not useful in terms of identifying music, it is useful in a historical manner. so it shouldn't be in genre catalogs. i am against catalogs, but thats another topic.

     

    however, the work done with suntrip records is much appreciated, thanks Anoebis (and other fellows) for that one.

     

    in my thinking, minimal is the most evolutionary way to go, since it bears a contrast and in fact is at the same place with oldschool goa, just gone from a different direction.

  5. we could prepare a database on some forum (perhaps here?) like this, perhaps:

     

    artist - track - bmp - key - keycode

     

    and the thing could be sorted according to those attributes

     

     

    thats what I have with my custom CD's i use to mix in my programs at radio.

  6. Yeah, the book refers to Matlab.  I am mostly interested in the theory

    behind it.

    i wish i could help you with the theory but its been years since i last touched matlab, or some production tool.

     

    here are some waypoints:

     

    with matlab, you can open wav files as x,2 matrices (each column for each speaker and each line for the sample taken each hertz)

     

    try to find an algorithm to process this type of matrix, or you'll first have to break the main wav into its frequency groups (ie, high frequency sounds seperated) and thats tricky.

     

    and for info on signal processing, you'll need an engineering background, probably.

  7. I've not found any tracks in a major scale with mixmeister... it's what I use, and I guessed the accuracy was about that much. Without a trained ear it's all I've got to go on, but you can always sort it out when you mash tracks together and suddenly think to yourself "hmm, something's not right..."

     

    A while back I looked through my -entire- collection and wrote down how many songs were in each key to make a pie chart showing harmonic distribution in a random statistical sample... I'll get that online some day :)

    with a synth, you should be ok if you re suspicious.

     

    what about making a huge database of psy tracks with bpm - root key - wheelcode info? :)

     

    that should be quite useful

  8. How do you figure? Not by my reckoning. Trance has distributed bottlenecks across the wheel where there are very few songs in some style, so I can't see this being possible. How do you find the key for your music?

    checking some albums, I figured that what i stated is not right. there is not full harmony (meaning everything is not put according to their wheelcode), but usually there are groups of 3 4 tracks harmonically ordered.

     

    sorry again, my bad.

     

    for the finding keys thing, and speaking about modern music (which uses the major-minor scale) you can determine the keys with a synth, or a program called mixmeister (which is %80 right)

  9. harmonic mixing prolongs trance state, and if you (anyone) want some harmonically mixed sets, you can listen to my radio program every wednesday. i usually go 1 round around the harmonic wheel, so you can hear tracks in any key.

    edit: deleted something

  10. I take my history with trance in two ages.

     

    In the first age (since early 90'still 98), we had our own live music in parties that we used for certain purposes, which started as minimal kicks, then, constantly evolving with acid synths and samples into 9 (mostly melodic) layers and then slowly going into minimal again. The whole thing took about 3 hours and we called that 'su'.

     

    In the second age, after we quit doing those thingies, i am usually stuck to a single line in some tracks. Nowadays, i am stuck to a synth line in a friend's track called lostbaloon. I have asked him to send me th line, and if he does so, i will be quite happy in the coming times :)

    One more line is the sample in kindzadza - may day which starts at 4:30 and the addition of the line that starts in 5:21. He has used similar lines in various tracks, but nothing gives that taste..
