Aural Nostalgia

Are some of you old enough to recognize this kind of arpeggiating sound ?

WANTED: A wild discussion about speed !

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Not the drug… the speed of music of course… tempo… bpm… beats per minute, you know ?

Looking into the folders of my hardrive i see snippets, ideas and grooves with tempo ranging from sedated-spliffed-sleeper to beyond-1996-rave… What is your opinion ?

Make a straight danceable “post-trance” album with 3/4 of the songs between 125-135 and some 90 bpm groove-stuff added ?

You´d like to see me going “broadband” like never before ? Songs like 60, 75, 90, 95, 110, 115, 125, 130, 133, 135, 138, 145, 160 bpm all on one album ? Maybe just in this order ?

Or do you prefer the hard+fast stuff…? “160 is just for warm up”… Well you might know from various sources that i wont do Hardtrance and Gabber anymore ;) So that option is highly improbable.

But another discussion i´d like to start is: You know what my songs might sound like downtempo and if the tempo is “danceable”. But what should the fast songs sound like…? I am not much into Hardtrance, i told you, but maybe if all of you resist… ;)  Or are there still lovers of Drum n bass out there ? Make some noise ! Or do you love the breakbeat style like Chemical Brothers or… did you, by any chance, invent an own style of music faster than 140 bpm ?

 

PS: I dont promise to do what the majority of you wants… Democracy is inappropriate for music production ;)
