Please tell me what 'freeform' music is?

[serox]

I am being schooled by som1 who mixes this music. He is letting me know that the music he mixes will be remembered for longer than tracks like Energy Flash, Jesus loves acid and Mentasm etc.

Freeform? Is this some new sub genre of hard house?

[dirty_bass]

If it`s so memorable, why don`t you know what it is?
Why don`t I know what it is?
I think maybe, the man is talkin mouth poo

Maybe it is some new style of music he made up. Fvck knows. I think it is hard house or hard style anyway.

its basically hardcore. sounds a bit like sped up hardtrance
used to be called trancecore but everyone thought that sounded stupid so they renamed it :lol: :roll:

It's more than sped-up trance. That's the reserve of normal hardcore these days. Freeform is a pretty broad genre - it can go from the slower trance led tracks, to hard ravey sounds, to the faster minimal stuff coming out of Finland atm, which is some of the best music I've heard in a while. I would be surprised if most people on here liked it though.

sorry people, but you are all so totally wrong, in a potentially corrct kinda way. what you are describing is a word that has been applied by silly people to music that they cant describe because its such a bastardisation of too many genres.

freeform, across only a limited amount of genres, MAINLY JAZZ, is music that has an underlying time signature that all the musicians adhere to, but the music thay play over the top melts over the rhythmical structure yet conforms to the melodic patterns that are preset within the standard.
eg, they are counting the rhythm subliminally, and they are working off an established melodic pattern or a specific melodic direction through various notes. what it sounds like is a total mess of 'freeform' improvisation as each musician improvises around the notes, but instinctively counting the rhythm regardless of the barrage of sound. but at a specific given point they could all drop back into 'the hookline' for what is essentially 'the chorus' and prove that they are spot on in a musical structure sense.

to apply this to a 'hybrid of trance and hardcore and sped up hard house' is quite humourous. freeform implies freedom, but all these genres work within such definite preset and very limited pattern structures and rhythms that it doesnt even do the dictionary definition of the word justice.

Made my neice shout no, no, no and start crying. And that says something the stuff I play. lol

[jonnyspeed]

And freeform jazz is mostly best consumed on a large sofa with a few bottle of red and the lights off, imo.

I was going to say some elements of Tony's explanation but only knew that there was an underlying rythm that everybody just plays what they want to... kinda like 'Jamming'

Can is a good example of freeform music. They just recorded months of stuff in their studio at Inner Space then edited the best bits into albums. Live versions just took key themes then just worked together to go on an unknown journey. I recommend anybody to get a copy of Cannibalism vol 1 and vol 2.

Oppppps better go back to bed

[serox]

so it is just shit then i take it?

i thought it was just a name that some kids had made up to sound cool. which i think, sounds about right.

[serox]

maybe i am a bit harsh, so it is a mix of trance and hard house with some jazz then?

Does anyone mix it or can anyone point me in some classic 'freeform' records?

you might beleive me when i say booze and stress induced a reaction to hapless vicitim of a newly described music genre. whoops!!

still right though :lol:

[~cheeky~]

well i listen to freeform lots and i still say its a mix of hardcore and speeded up trance so knickers to you lot.
if you dont believe me go to a night that plays it or ask some of the nu energy guys as they produce it.

the guy just wanted to know in simple terms what the style was like as his mate plays it,no need to take the piss imo just cause you dont like it.
