How, Ive not used major chord progressions, or appreggios, how is this trance?
Oh hang on, haha, listening again, I see what you mean. It does have that major minor thing going on. Maybe I shold make it a little more housey.
Or just stick to minors and sus 9`s or something.
it's wierd. i play in black metal band and you can get away with playing the most outrageous hands-in-the-air melodies, but when you play them tremolando on a distorted guitar it sounds grim & frostbitten as opposed to uplifting & euphoric. i don't think it's all about the tonal relationship between notes, it's got just as much to do with their rhythm & actual sound....
the tune you've used in the track is quite nice, i think with a different synth patch it would sound a lot less 'trancey'.
