Really like his sound, still or maybe all the more today. But what happened to Incolumis? Haven’t heard from him any new music for years. Or did someone inherit his unique sound?
What happened to Incolumis?

I tried to get him back to the Trance music 5 few years ago but he wasn't into it anymore. Made a remix for my track though.
Contacted him again this summer, no reply unfortunately.
He's producing Ambient these days as Jani R:

I wonder why. I have no artistic bone in my body so I can't understand what it takes to be a musician like him, or the journey you must go on, but how after having such a deep connection with this music can you suddenly never have that urge to go again, even once. Do tastes really change this drastic. I have never experienced it myself. His music was so special, the connection must be strong to do what he did, it is sad it is gone.
The ambient track is nice

It's about the outcome I guess. When you've been doing something for years and it doesn't bring you anything, you question yourself, why do I still do it?
This was actually one of the first tracks I came across when I was taking my first steps into trance (or electronic music for that matter). It was a free download in a local music service
I guess there was not really all that much demand for this kind of sound unfortunately...

Indeed, it's a shame. This is what I wish today's nu trance sounded like, especially given how much everyone on this site raves about it. This is the real deal!

A lot of the prog house scene sounds like this, though at a slower tempo. And that scene is stallllllllle like 10 day old bread. While NuTrance is many artists and many sounds, you are right in that very few build out melodies slowly like this, with a lush break. NuTrance like that really sticks out. This recent gem reminds me of this track a little, but yeah, less emphasis on melody.
This one too

Nah man, there is nothing that sounds like old Incolumis, certainly not todays prog house. The tracks you posted are not bad but this is just a completely different sound

I didn't say these two examples are prog house, lol. I was hinting that this Incolumnis track sounds like what the prog house (aka prog trance) space is pumping out, just with less quality, with the same kicks. This sound IMO developed in to what we hear from JOOF, Forescape.
@trancedanne They are in the NuTrance world, and as you mention, heavily influenced by Goa. Though honestly, almost nothing new from 2023 develops and builds like the best of the old stuff. I think that's why NuTrance doesn't sit well with so many on here. I was just tring to provide two examples of NuTrance that actually develop with some grit, and on the darker side.

The Incolumnis track does remind me of this a little too, though I think it's more the synths and the sound.
This is what I automatically assume about producers who used to make very good music but then quit. It's too much effort spending dozens, if not hundreds of hours crafting a song that ultimately no one hears.
Even if you become slightly successful, like Transa back in the late 2000s, life gets in the way... kids, work, other commitments, other hobbies, so people lose their passion or motivation to continue. It's actually kind of amazing how people like JOOF and Airwave are still in the game. They can't live off of their own music production and DJ sets, though, which is why they have to pick up other work like the audio network/film and gaming OSTs (JOOF) or teaching music (iirc Airwave was some kind of music teacher?)
