Electronic Music Structure?

[barefoot]

This forum seems to deal with lyrics more than structure.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to structure good electronica music? How is it usually done? How to make it sound fresh?

music is a wide range of styles covering from Trance to movie and TV production, which in its self 80-90% is made Electronicaly belive it or not, and I don't know why so many producers on this forum are aganist it. Maybe its just a case that they didn't know this. You will get none or little replys on this forum cause most of them here are living in the past and to scared to go into the unknown

So you must be talking about Elctronic Dance music?. If you are I will give you my iders on this music.?
I produce Trance so that will be my exp

Trance came about in the early 90s branching off Germen Techno. Trance is named cause it's supposed to put you in a Trance like mood. It's been described as danceable Ambient. It's a Techno derivative normally played around 140bpm and it usually has a four-to-the-floor beat. There is much repetition provided by the arpeggiators and TB- style 303 bass lines. Listen for Synth effects and complex layered synth sounds. The music often builds to a Crescendo several times throughout a song. Many tracks devolve into spacey ambience with floating piano type lines at the end




Trance is the type of music that will open your mind and take you place,s where you have never been. A well produced song will always lots of meaning and a reason. Most people will hate Trance for many things they say its all the same theres no emotion and most of all no words and most of all compare it to the top 40s music and you will see the difference. Trance can be very cheasy to but you have many styles to pick from, I will give you a list of them.

At the moment I'm trying something different to everyone els, It works on a basics of a 64 beat melody not a common 32 one, having combined the following styles of Ambient, Epic Trance, Progressive Trance, Dark Trance and Classical music that is used in the movies together with all the sound affects. The melodies are long and spaced out with strong emotion. I call this new style "Visual Trance"

The structure is up to you
mostly its build build adding things on every 16-32 beats and so on, but the best way is to listen to the way the music and how its put together step by step. its realy all up to you, the key is put you heart in it and be original
