180 - Giving a extra punch to your dancetrack        

From: Alessandro Nanna
Email: muadib@casema.net
Date: 10-Sep-00


Listen to all those dancetracks, lately? They are tight as a drum and timed so you already know when a climax is breaking in. Most of the time in the mid-part of the song we get warm synth sounds and then a drum and a growing hiss from the cymbals and then the beat starts again with a clashhit: boring. Try building up your musicpiece and instead of starting the climax at the precise beat just set it of at a random time somewhat after the drumrattle and the hiss of the cymbals. you get that "twilight-zone"-feeling in that unexpected silence. Have phun!
