Work in trance

25 Jul

Is there a coincidence that so many I’ve met at the ITU are weak for trance music? Or is it simply that computer enthusiasts also like the sound that’s made from them? Certainly there is at least one computer involved to create good trance music. I need to ask myself, could we survive without computers once we’ve fallen in love with electrical sounds? -Oh no.

There is something about the combination of trance and computing. It’s like what Jolt does for Dreamhackers, or what a Duracell battery does for a rabbit. It can’t really be explained, but if you’re one of those who enjoy that genre, you surely know what I’m talking about.

I remember saying this loudly in the lunch room one day, and the reactions were not what I expected. Apparently I ate my lunch beside a bunch of non-trance-fantasts. Archie looked amazed and said that I should write an academic article about it. Well, why not? I truly believe the magic about trance can be proven.  I also believe that trance can make you forget everything around you, keep you focused and as a result: make you code faster. One day I’ll really try to prove this! I mean, is there a coincidence too that trance is called trance?

Whatever the truth might be, I would like to recommend two of my most loved albums:

  • Sub6 – Who Needs Love Songs?
  • Braincell – Frequency Evolution
