Welcome to the official "Conundrums of trance " site.
I've been lucky enough to have had my music to this level whereon it can reach all over.
After some working on software during my early college days, I started out touching the surface within music producing. After two years of experimenting, I decided to get a little bit more serious. As for today, software synthesizers and hardware synthesizer modules are playing a very important role in my production. I've always been very clear on several aspects, regarding music composing. Whenever I start working on a track, I start from scratch! I don't like to take advantage of "pre -made" material for use in my production. For me, composing is about reaching for the creative and openminded part of my inner self and transforming these elements together with the atmosphere and environment I would like to reflect, into a fullsized product! and they would sound the similar way as I try to create diffrent dimensions for others to imagine as a listener. Developing a product that reflects my feelings, really means a lot to me! I feel that Electronica, has the potential to strengthen up the atmospheric tone given, because of it's complexity and it's richness. The wide area of sounds that can be placed in this line of production all together with the editing possibilities, really fullfill the needs for the "perfect" sound. However, there are genres I more likely refer to, when it comes to distributing different parts of myself. Whether it is uplifting or melancholic. It's all about the music! -
DJ Chatty-(sounds kewl)
By the way who are trance players?Trance players are energy dancers who energize people at raves and clubs.
The Trance player as DJ transforms the energies of sound and light into movement, making the invisible dimensions of inner experience visible to others. Special breathing techniques, concentration and physical gestures transfer this energy to other people on the dancefloor.
For the Trance player, dance is a form of meditation through which he or she enters trance. Through trance, higher states of consciousness can be accessed. The Trance Deejay is a modern Shaman ,opening gateways to the worlds of spirit and magic.
Allright then ,Why this name (Conundrums of Trance) as your album?I chose my bandname when I started working with music. It was a name that I thought of after composing my first tracks. It sounded okay, so I've been using that name ever since. The subname "Conudrums of Trance", I added later, when I started composing Trance / Electronica. Even though, I compose within other genres as well.
Do you play live?Guys I am not that big, but am finding and trying to be that big, well long way to go otherwise.yes,I don't play live. At least not for the moment. I compose music and have listeners throughout the internet. Maybe later, I'll transfer my music to the "live scene".
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?Well, obviously enough; The internet is a goldmine for unsigned musicians. Internet makes spreading your artist material easy, when it comes to services like "SoundClick","orkut", "Blogspot" and other music communities. And by releasing your tracks over internet, you get to work within your own musical style, as there are many "groups" of listeners available. I believe, that internet is a goldmine, when it comes to artists that haven't been signed yet. It's a way to make yourself get heard, and a way to improve your skills as you'll get feedback from professional artists and other general artists in the same genre.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?I would, if the label compiled me a satisfactory deal. I think it's every artists dream, to get signed with a major label. I've had some offers, but yet I haven't approved my interest. But if the right offer comes across my musical path, then I will seriously evaluate the offer.
Your influences?I had many musical influences in the beginning, as towards respective artists within the underground / alternative and the mainstream community. Regarding the classical compositions, the most important influences and inspirations to me, must be the nature and the complexity of life. As to how I feel and look upon different phases and moments in time, do play an important part for the atmosphere and mood I reflect through my compositions.
But to name a few ,Micheal Cretu , A.R. Rahman , Illayaraja , Bjork , Deep forestetc.
Equipment used:In my line of production I use : "Access Virus C","FL studio","audioware" and in future would be using "Roland JP-8080", "Yamaha CS6X" master synth, "Behringer UB2442FX-Pro" mixer and "Mackie hr-824" studio monitors with a strong powerful computer system. I use the following sequencing tools and production tools : "Steinberg Cubase SX" & "Steinberg Wavelab". I also use tons of DX, DXi, VST and VSTi modules in my production.
Anything else...?Well, that would be all. ! I hope you enjoy my music, and please send me some feedback to my private e-mail adress :

Take care now! =)
