What's on your mind today?

[Jetflag]

We have invite Ben Lost to Shenzhen for a 3h Lost Language Set, also local supported by @Lawn Jarre.

I talked a lot with Ben yesterday, and also introduce our TF.R to him. I told him that @LostLegend and @Sunda are also in the label, who are in Lost Language. I also strongly recommended him to listen to the wonderful album by @Jetflag, hope he will like it too.

Wish that he can invite you to Lost Language to do some remix or release some originals.

bless you brother

I guess people adapt to their environment. IDK what happened to me, I used to LOVE summer and hot weather, now I'm like "fuck that shit" lol. I wish I could live somewhere where it's cold all year around.

Tell me about it man those hot days are the worst. Living in Russia or Alaska would be your best bet or Greenland USA

I will be performing my first ever Piano concert - This is what makes my teacher different from all of the teachers I had previously.
Date: Friday 21 November
Time: 6:00-7:00 PM

Finally, I am going home today, it's been almost a year since I started my master study in Denmark.

Next month, I will help to organise an event in Guangzhou China that invites Lostly, Super8 & Tab, EMBRZ, ALIGASH and more. Anything you want to ask them?

How times flies, my summer break is over and I came back to Copenhagen yesterday. Now I can spend more time on TranceFix.

I went to 3 trance events in the past two months, 7.12 in Guangzhou for Lostly and Super8 & Tab, 7.26 in Shenzhen for Amos & Riot Night, @Ishiro, 8.22 in Shenzhen for Ben Lost and @Lawn Jarre. Many great memories.

I wonder does a digital download of music, would that be described or defined under the digital rights management? I have noticed that with Kindle that amazon or any online store can pull off the book from your shelf even if you had purchased. Even though you have purchased them you don't own them and I wonder if this applies to Music too? Btw this goes the same thing with Netflix as well.

Got to see System of a Down for the 4th time last night, this time in Chicago. Absolutely unreal, as usual per usual.

 

[Progrez]

Learning about transposition it's so difficult on the Piano this week and it was so odd hearing and playing the same piece in different keys, time signatures. My teacher says it will help me learn to be more creative.

It will, speaking from experience

 

[Progrez]

It will, speaking from experience

Its so strange playing individual keys at such a slow pace at the moment in a different key too.

Finally finished my uni. Next goal - finding a job (mission impossible)

So, it's been a long time coming, but I think it's time to go. And, no this isn't to be overly dramatic, or because something happened that suddenly made me decide. (and no, it's not the stuff on the babes thread SFW, rofl.) Over the past couple years, I've been falling out of trance and tbh haven't kept up with it for a while.
Trance was a genre I found out during my early years in high school almost fourteen years ago. I made some good memories back then and enjoyed exploring in depth the (electronic) music that was created in distant Europe, from my tiny hometown in Mexico. And trance was almost exclusively what I listened to until ~2014, when I finally started getting into pop music and listened to other genres.
My interest in trance gradually waned during university as I continued exploring other genres, and trance took a serious backseat. It wasn't until 2020, during the COVID pandemic, that I became extremely active on this website. I remember being awake until 4 - 5 A.M. my time, making lengthy and overly detailed posts on the classics thread, and going back and forth about politics with @Jetflag and a few other members on this forum. I still cherish that time. In hindsight, I probably wasn't OK, since I had no clue where my life was headed, and getting a job seemed impossible.

Eventually, "real life" happened. I started getting into other genres of music in late 2021 and just kind of... stopped caring about new releases in trance. It's not because trance from 2021 onwards is bad - I've heard some innovative things that this forum likes -, but I just don't feel excited for trance. Maybe, if I were in Europe, things would be different.

I'm now at an age and income where I could afford going to Luminosity. But... weirdly enough, I'm not excited about that, and Europe isn't in my travel plans. I would probably enjoy the classics stages at Lumi, though.

Anyways, that's a lot of words that probably won't be read by too many on here. So, here's my final thoughts:

@Archon I hope you become a very successful software engineer. I know your field will change a lot over the next several years with AI, but as a younger engineer I think you will adapt well.

@Jetflag I enjoyed the political back and forth. You're a very smart person, and you also have a knack for music production. I just wish more of your music were available on Spotify (but I know Spotify is bad for creators with how they pay you pennies for your work)

@Progrez I hope you find the mental health support you deserve. You've gone through a lot. I just hope someone out there in Australia can help you.

@Hensmon, I've DM'd you about my account deletion.

Thank you for everything. It feels weird to let go of a community I've been part of since... 2012?ish? when I followed Progrez here from the old tranceaddict forums. A bunch of us kind of ended up growing together, online, even if physically far apart. And now, I feel like I've grown out of trance, into something else.

Who knows, maybe I'll show up at lumi eventually. I don't know if that would be any sooner than three years.

Anyhow, that is all. Good luck with the rest of the forum.

Yeeeeah not gonna bother reading.

By the way, can I report this as spam so that @Katadunkass can use the BAN button? It's his special need.

Lovely message, even if lengthy and overly detailed. Thanks for the kind words. Wish you all the best in life!

I personally grew out of trance several times since my life got a lot more structure. Work, private life etc. just gives you less and less time to a genre that is best enjoyed when given a lot of attention. Sometimes I'm on the brink of leaving as well. But it comes and goes, just the way it is.

Out of curiosity, why delete?

Sorry to hear you are going man that's 2 people I hope you do come back to the genre or this forum. I don't know about growing out of "Trance" because I am learning the piano which is a totally different field. Stay safe man I know you are probably not in the best place especially in the states but I hope you do decide to come to Australia they've banned legal guns here. I have been on forums since 2007 and yeah mental health is slightly better still get the odd outbursts here and there but it not bad as it used to be in the past. You know that I've actually stopped posting a number of new tracks or hardly any when it comes to Trance but that's because I want to learn the basic to make trance one of these days but I am doing that by learning Piano and I also try to play around using AI like Udio and I play around with reason and Fl Studio.

It's sad to see people leave this community and trance scene in general. I hope you will find happiness and success in your future activites. But we will be always happy to see you back here!

Btw guys, sorry for my own absence for almost a year. Yk, last year in uni, side job etc. But I promise to be more active now

all the best brother you're a keen debater and an empathic person from what i've seen from you. Should you, in the near future, want to pick up the genre again there's a place for you here, and if you ever do get to visit Lumi, hit me up and we'll meet for a beer.


be gracious with your light, and may the years be kind to you.
