Mystical trance, is a part of religious culture many places. Technology trance music seems based on this, and I generalize this as tech oriented music, and is a tech artist. And really compatible with the muzlim Maruf not Munkar principles. (Take the good, and not the poor).
I have had a tech music interest, and call it also this, to not wrongly be associated with things I have little to do with. Some also call it rave, but then rave parties are involved, something I have nothing to do with. And trance, but few seem to understand the connection to mystical trance. And it was always tech oriented for me, no physical media or related labels, always net and what became streaming, or early BBS and even floppydisk based. Really the belief side of things only.
I was inspired a new track, as I was working on the stuff for this website. And I was there when it began and it came from a wish of having an alternative to the idolaterous pop-culture.
I made a little video on Youtube:
Its made with Renoise, a so called tracker music app.
Perfecting this, is the closest to a modern muzlim genre, if done right.
Many believe it is a follow up to earlier mystical tradition.
Some believe the Noaide Sami mystic.is a precursor. And might have a parallel in Navajo culture.
I also uploaded some earlier stuff to youtube:
Remixed a few years back, with surplus samples of analog synth from the time, and video added, with similar to people from the time. Nazara (the Kuranic term for followers of Isa) is much what inspired my philosophical quest, Originally made with Cubase, as many tried more conventional sequencers for a while. And it was uploaded to the original mp3.com in 99. And remixed in Logic Audio. 1997 was just before 3d-acceleration really happened, and “demoscene” was at it´s coolest, with handmade algorithms.
The P.L.U.R. (Peace Love Unity Respect) movement was a big thing at the time. They often used the peace greeting, that is from monotheism originally.
And an early track, from my time in the demoscene:
This is from the early 90s, and the demoscene. A phenomena about demo works, distributed on floppy disks and BBS. It used only the 4 channels of the Amiga homecomputer, which was an early multimedia computer. Often also called computer art, and demoscene for some has been a pre-thing, before games company work etc.
Demos in the 90s would feature vector graphics, before the 3d-accelerated games that started coming at the end of the 90s. (Quake 2, Unreal, MDK, Half Life, etc). And such had a bigger interest group than now, when games have mostly taken over the phenomena. For a while there, it was done in software though, and optimal fast code really mattered. One can wonder if the same intent is reflected in tech aswell, where music is very optimally produced.
We didn´t like Bill Gates (The Atheist) back then, and his “no self-development” windows-idol.
