couple of tricks 4 making sci-trance on a PC

[magic lamp]

Hello,

 

An interesting experiment with electronic equipment is to change the overall pitch of the tune so that each wavepeak of the sound is harmony/time with the tempo and effects. You know how a deep sound beaks up into single pulses of sound, well this trick means you can use thoses pulses as percussive parts.

 

Because certain tempo's and frequencies have specific effects on the 'feel' of a piece as well as influencing brain rhythms, states of awareness etc, combining the 2 ideas may have a reinforcing effect on one another. it can certainley have an effect on how you 'see' the music whilst you are making it.

 

An intersting frequency to use as your overall pitch is 432hz (-32 cents in reason) this means 'A' is vibrating at 432000 times, 'D' at 144000 etc. Becuase these are whole numbers, it is easier to manipulate them and use tempo's that resonate in harmony with them. Also, if you use 432hz, the number of 'sacred' numbers that crop up are quite surprising, but it's worth discovering without my opinion clouding it !

 

Another trick for scitrance is to use the fibbonacci sequence of numbers to place effects and changes throughout a piece. If you dont know about this sequence, it is a natural growth pattern in nature that causes sunflowers and nautilus shells to grow in spirals. It is a way of counting that adds all the previous numbers. The first part of the sequence is 0, 1 ,1 , 2, 3, 5 ,8, 13 , 21 (8+13=21).

 

If you use electronic equipment, it's a lot easier to intergrate science into making music, and as trance is very much about altered states of conciousness, it is quite interesting to be able to explore/visualise it from a more hands on 'manipulatable' and communicable angle (as numbers can be translated into lots more forms than just sound)

 

does anybody else like waffles ?
