It's great to see a link specifically about Psytrance on Hacker News.
I enjoy trying to understand how Psytrance is made and if that is something you find interesting too checkout @Projector_music on youtube (no affiliation).
- droopyEyelids 3y agoAny chance you typo'd that? I can't find it.
- nine_k 3y agoMaybe @projektor_music; seems to match the genre.
- sebosp 3y agoI would love to learn about this... Specially in the era of demucs, maybe some python automation to ableton live tracks that we can modify through the day slightly? I have playlist with dozens of 1+ hour videos on YouTube of psytrance and I find them so enjoyable, full of bass and good for focusing (granted there's the obligatory 1 minute muttering in the song of Terrence McKenna but OK, if psilocybin helped them create these amazing songs then so be it )
- jochem9 3y agoIf you want to literally program music, I can recommend Sonic Pi. The current top comment describes the typical psy bass line in technical terms, which is enough to recreate it in code.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoLearn about synthesis. Specifically the relation between the harmonic structure of the saw and square wave and the properties of a resonant filter that can pick these harmonics out in various ways. For psytrance many of the sequences are sparse, have subtle glissando and slides, in phrygian, hungarian minor and other exotic scales with canonical forms and contrapuntal rounds often achieved by shifting subsequences a few steps forward or backward.
