very good topic. when I hear a track that I really like, where I feel the heart of the genre, in an exellent style, then I like to copy the track as an exercise, in the end it's different but it taught me a lot. it's superb to progress and collect techniques. Copying is an exercise that reinforces the art, it is an exercise, but not an end. the purpose is pure personal expression through the tool. Thank you for your always interesting and authentic videos

Really enjoyed listening to your perspective on this. It's difficult to make videos based on mindset and artist psychology as it's not typically what people search for, but it's super necessary for people to hear these perspectives and point of views.

When I hear people talking about it 'all sounding the same' I feel like they completely missed the point of DANCE MUSIC... if you want a DANCE floor to move, you can't keep throwing entirely random things at it, there must be structure.

Some people love going and listening to something completely insane and all over the place like Psykovsky, but it's not for everyone and it's more of a brain dance than an actual body dance.

The deepest moments of trance come from consistent, repetitive, hypnotic driving beats/sequences.

Thanks a lot for the video. We'd really appreciate new videos that help us overcome all the emotional trials this career demands, from your perspective.

These are some good thoughts, I also think for my own personal philosophy is that I will happily plagerise tracks by myself in my studio to see how they work. I'll try and recreate things 1:1 and by doing that I learn a lot of cool tricks to do with mixing, sound design and especially composition and arrangement. I will then abstract some of those ideas out and use them in combination with other ideas in my own "original work". I feel like this gets me very good results.

the thing is im very very analytical to music that get released today ..from lets say 200 tracks listened i select no more than 1 or 2 tracks ..so yes i can say that maybe those selected tracks inspire me to do something ..but not similar ..but in the same direction of musical genre ..for ex now im trying to make some dub techno just because of one track i listened randomly from a mix /Regarding psytrance ..sry to say but nothing impressed me lately /even this kbbb ideas needs to evolve in a new experimental way in my opinion ..cheers mate

Nicely explained in a short video. This is the subject we can talk days and days :) You need to listen many songs to be able to compare with someone's work and to find out it's plagiarism, but when generic (only loops, and sample packs where you cannot do so many tweaks and sound/fx transitions) it's generic. "Flat" as a pancake :)

I don't think you can escape having ''inspiration'', in the end nothing we really do is truly unique anyway. it already takes intelligence, skills and *lots of* practice to make it go beyond the sum of its parts


it has very strong similarities to a certain ''psytrance'' band, the flute-like sounds, the ms-20 high pitched LFO sinewaves, along the dreamy reverbed arppegios and vocal-like synths

even to this day there are resemblances in their music to this origin but still has a clear own style

im sure virtually all successful artists have a good collection of ''copies'' they made before reaching a point they found their own direction

we all stand on the shoulders of giants, it's how culture works :)

this is especially problem in psytrance (tons of similiary sounding tracks).. i feel like modern psytrance is heavily overproduced, people pay atrention mostly on technically perfectly implement all templetes, to have exactly as it should be, and somehow they forget to add some kind of musicalit, emotion and own footprint .. they produce just technically perfect pieces but cold as ice..

I personally preffer music not that technically perfect, for example produced completely outside of DAW just using HW synths/grooveboxes - which may be technically limited, but especially when played live is full of emotion and momental footprint of artist who is iz playing .. including things like mistakes and stuff like that ..

As the saying goes, copying is the highest form of flattery. Of course, as long as its not 1:1 blatant rip off/plagiarism. The question is, have you heard anyone copying you and what did you think of it, did you feel flattered or perhaps angry?

You cannot plagiarise dance music in my opinion.. the whole point is that the tracks have a similar framework so that a DJ can mix the tracks together into a set.

In Psytrance.. the bassline is identical in every track! KBBB.

If Psytrance was pop music there would only be one pytrance song because everyone would be suing eachother for coping the arrangement or bassline patterns or stutter effect ideas etc. Etc.

Dance music should be totally forgiving in similarities between tracks.

Ed Sheeran getting sued for using a SLUGHTLY similar chord progression..

EDM basically sharing synth patches and using a lot of sounds because they are found within the genre. Nobody cares.

If someone copies your work and does a better job than you did.. don't get pissed. A shout out would be nice. But you've basically inspired someone to improve upon your idea.
