Great stuff!!!
Thats exactly the area I need to learn right now, and its hard to find such infos. The most stuff is about the technical side of things.

Big thanks once again!
No worries Kryten, glad you're finding it useful.
And yes, the ratio of production information to musical/compositional information on the internet seems to be about 99:1 or less for some reason...
Perhaps it's something to do with the fact that it's difficult to package that kind of information into a new and costly gizmo/product that is marketed as both a shortcut to making you music sound better while simultaneously bypassing the hard work involved in increasing your skill-set by study and practice...

Great post Bill, thanks
I really hope they add in multi-part MIDI editing in Ableton 9 - it's the one feature of Cubase that I really would like to have.
You've said before that you enjoy the Spanish Gypsy scale - any others that are particularly noteworthy?
I'm especially interested in the scales that old Goa tunes make use of - I like expressive arps in 16ths and while mine have steadily been getting better I'd like to expand out a bit
Any news on an upcoming Vimeo Workshop? If you're doing requests I'd love to hear more stuff about FM, modular synthesis, music composition/theory as relates to trance production specifically (like an expanded version of this recent post) If you want to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent the universe

Learning music theory, and learning how to modulate scales makes it all possible for me, it is strange, I kinda forgot some of the harmony theory stuff over the years, it's like bike riding, you learn the technique and once you have figured out how to do it you forget all about the technique and just do it.
Upavas - Here And Now (Sangoma Rec.) new EP out Oct.29th, get it here:

thanks again Bilbo. Funny enuff there's a recent thread on Goa production here:
that mentions the Spanish scale that Willsanquil mentions as well. I think it's the reasons you covered in the article (ie actual melodic comosition) that are essential diffrences between the Goa and modern stuff. As the main guy who got me into Goa with Telekinetik(as well as Green Nuns and Eat Static) what do you think? Have you anything to suggest oh Obi-Wan?
