I’ve known for a while that the feel of the list was going to change – while piano instrumentals are perfect for reflection and ideation – at some point you need some energetic input to get your fingers moving.
Thing is – you can’t be too abrupt about the change- moving from 10 miles an hour to 90 can be derailing – you want to ensure a nice smooth transition and if we’re headed towards beats – what better than a German trance master playing with an orchestra.
I’m collaborating on a Trance list at the moment and as so often happens – had forgotten just how perfect Trance is to write to. I’m excited about the direction the list is headed in and eager to get back into more of an execution rather than ideation role – hell yeah – as they say – ideas are easy – execution is everything.
So – in the absence of a beat track – let the music sink into your subconscious and let the groove carry you away.
This is just the beginning of the spin….
