My focus is on producing trance and, since 2009, house. Although I've spent a fair amount of time on the so-called "anthem" trance (seen in Latitude and Flashpoint), I am looking into producing some hybrid of tech-trance and uplifting trance. Both trance and house have their own types of challenges, but for the love of it all, I am constantly drawn to these fascinating contributions to music. I also pull inspiration from non-electronic music genres (mainly alternative rock, classic rock, and hip-hop.)
Music is essential to my life. I cannot imagine a day without hearing at least one song, because music is one form of communication that I can fully understand. Because I am kind of a trance addict, I can understand music that doesn't have words, because it is music that speaks to me purely through beautiful melodies and an atmosphere only it can provide. I decided to start producing purely out of the love for this music. To me, trance is the most powerful way to express thoughts and emotions. Trance doesn't follow any strict formula, other than to bring people to a higher level of ideas and thoughts; to bring meaning the human condition.
"No artist is pleased...
There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching
and makes us more alive than the others."
~Martha Graham
