Awesome!
I wish I could play this for my friends in Oregon 
A couple of questions for you, Colin (happy birthday, by the way!):
1) I am a complete noob to the whole EM field. Still learning about electronic music styles. What is this piece? It feels to me like progressive trance with a touch of Suomi – but I suspect I am completely off...
2) Complete off-top: I've been trying to figure out your “logo” picture.
A square. A saw on the same note (with a low-pass sliding down about 2 octaves). The same saw but sliding up in pitch a little less than an octave. The first square again. I tried reproducing this in Ableton, but it does not sound like anything useful. What is it?
Thanks. |

Your guess is as good as mine... it sounds a bit housey to me, with a touch of some kind of electro, but it definitely has a dollop of trance in there too. Suomi? Doesn't seem crazy enough for it to me but perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway this track wasn't exactly made to fit any particular pigeonhole

That's the closest anyone has come... it's a spectrogram of a bar's worth of 303 (sawtooth, HPF).

I wish it were. As of last September, I thought there were three kinds of electronic music:
- Jean-Michel Jarre
- Stuff I heard in clubs of Detroit and Chicago
- Stuff I heard on Van Buuren’s radio show
I progressed a bit since then – but not that much

So it is something you actually used?!
Do you have a link handy?
P.S. ...I still believe the first and last notes are square waves: all even harmonics are missing.

I like slower speeds sometimes, but it seems like everything under 140 has this clubby feeling to it that just doesn't sound like psytrance to me.
I mean, big respect to Antix and Atmos and Vibrasphere and such, they make nice music, but it just doesn't sound like it goes along with psytrance too much
Let's see some stuff down in the mid-130s to 120s that still sounds psychedelic!
I'll start with some

I'm finding this Quantize track very Technoish and not truelly Psytrance at all.
Especially with that popcorn 16th shuffle lead! |
