Hey everyone :)

I’m trying to connect with more trance producers and I thought I could offer some free help with melodies, chord progressions and harmony.

I’m not saying I’m an advanced producer or anything like that. I’d actually say I’m still intermediate, and I’m sure a lot of people here are way better than me at sound design, mixing, arrangement and getting that professional trance sound.

But I do have a pretty strong musical background. I come from a classical/conservatory background, studied piano too, and I’ve been studying composition seriously for the last 3 years. I’m also about to start a music/sound-related program in Berlin.

Melody, harmony, arpeggios, chord movement, tension and release, voice leading, that kind of stuff, is probably the area where I can be most useful.

One thing I notice really often in trance production is that the sounds, mixing or drops can be really good, but the melody or harmony could maybe be developed a bit more. So I thought this could be a nice exchange. I can help with the musical side, and maybe I can also learn from how other people here approach production.

I’m not selling anything. Just trying to connect, help if I can, and learn from the process too :)

Feel free to send me an unfinished track, a loop, a MIDI idea, a melody or a chord progression, and I’ll try to give you some useful feedback.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my first release with you.

I’ve been producing music by myself for almost 5 years and I had never released anything before. The ghost of procrastination and the search for perfection, as you probably know, is always there.

So I finally went for it, and I know there are mistakes in the mix, gain staging, compression, etc. But it’s still my first track, so I went with the phrase “perfect is the enemy of good” and uploaded it :)

I’m happy mostly because, for me, releasing something is a personal achievement, regardless of whether people like it or not.

So I invite you to listen to it and criticize it, positively or negatively :)

Greetings to the whole community, and here’s to more finished music, even if it’s not perfect, because the personal reward of completing a goal is bigger than the reaction we expect to get from others :)
