sejarah aliran musik trance

Trance merupakan bagian dari aliran musik electronic dance. Pertama kali didirikan pada tahun 1990 di Jerman.^[1] Karakter musik Trance dapat dicirikan dengan cara melihat jumlah beat yang berkisar diantara 130-150 beat dalam satu menit, adanya pengulangan irama melodi, dan bentuk musik yang naik dan turun sepanang lagu. Trance merupakan jenis aliran tersendiri. Tetapi juga di dalamnya terdapat bebagai variasi dari musik electronik seperti misalnya techno,^[2] house,^[3] pop, chill-out, musik klasik, dan music film.[4]

Trance marujuk kepada jenis musik yang mengangkat penekanan perasaan emosional, perasaan tinggi, perasaan lepas, perasaan “menggigil” atau “kekosongan”, dan berusaha membangkitkan pengalaman “ramai” dari pendengar. Adapun karakter hampir dari seluruh musik Trance adalah adanya “keambrukan” yang lembut di pertengahan lagu yang dimulai dengan pecahnya suara orkestrasi dan memudarnya irama dengan tiba-tiba, sehingga melodi, suasananya, atau salah satunya mengalun sendiri-sendiri untuk beberapa detik sampai beberapa menit. Ciri umum lainnya juga terkadang dengan adanya menggunakan suara seorang perempuan dengan karakter vokal dari meso-sopran hingga sopran. Terkadang, suara vokal perempuan bisa jadi begitu dalam, tinggi, atau dalam bentuk opera, yang menggambarkan bahwa suara lembutnya memimpin kedalam keadaan “melayang.”^[8]

Jerman  dianggap sebagai tempat kelahiran musik Trance,^[5] dengan suara melodic trance original yang pertama kali muncul tahun 1993 di Frankfurt.^[3 Asal-usul istilah ini tidak pasti. Menurut penelusuran, aliran musik trance ini merujuk pada Klause Schulze, seorang seniman musik electronik-eksperimental yang berkonsentrasi pada percampuran musik minimalis dengan irama berulang dan memainkan jenis chord arpeggiated.

Adapun akar trans kontemporer, beberapa [1] merujuk pada Paul van Dyk‘s 1993 dalam “remix of Humate Love Stimulasi”. [1] Dalam tahun-tahun berikutnya, salah satu genre, trans vokal, muncul sebagai kombinasi dari unsur-unsur progresif dan musik pop , [3] dan pengembangan subgenre lain, trance epik, memiliki beberapa asal-usul dalam musik klasik., [3] dengan musik film juga sangat berpengaruh. [4] Trance bisa dibilang berada di puncak komersial pada akhir 1990-an dan awal 2000-an. [14] [15]

Cabang aliran

Trance terbagi kedalam beberapa sub-genres besar. secara berurutan, aliran besar dari sub-genres ini adalah Classic trance, Acid trance, Progressive trance,^[3] Uplifting trance,^[3] and Hard trance. Uplifting trance juga biasa dikenal dengan sebutan “Anthem trance”, “Epic trance”,^[3] “Stadium trance”, atu “Euphoric trance”,^[5] dan yang sangat kuat dipengaruhi oleh musik klasik 1990-an^[3] dan saat ini berkembang dalam sub-genre “Orchestral uplifting trance” atau “Uplifting trance dengan simfoni sebuah orkestra”.  Euro-trance adalah yang terkait dengan jenis genre Trance uplifting ini, yang selama ini menjadi music komersial dansa Eropa.  Beberapa saling bersilangan dengan genis genre utama musik electronic lainnya. Misalnya, Tech trance yang dibuat dengan campuran trance dan techno, Vocal trance ” yang menggabungkan elemen aliran progressive dengan musik pop”,^[3] Balearic beat, sebuah jenis genre trance yang berasosiasikan dengan gaya hidup santai ala liburan orang Ibiza, Spanyol, dan jenis genre Dream trance yang berasal dari pertengahan tahun1990-an, yang dipopulerkan oleh Robert Miles.
