What is the title of your upcoming album and where did the idea for it come from?  First of all, thank you for this interview! My album is titled ‘Amor Del Pasado’, which translates to ‘Love From The Past’. It refers to the love for the classic trance sound that many of us still like so much. The album is heavily inspired by anthemic trance from the ‘97-2004 period.  2. What inspired you to write your debut studio album?  To be honest, I always thought I wouldn’t be able to make an album. I remember someone on Trancefix.nl wrote that I should try. And it slowly got in my head. It got me thinking about what it should be like, if I were to do it. What kind...

Trance is a lot of things to me. It’s my childhood and my teenage years. It’s my career and soul purpose. My passion and my drive. Discovering trance music didn’t just excite me, but also spoke to my soul. Trance is the definition of a multidimensional journey through space, time, and emotions. Especially emotions. Trance to me is… emotions expressed as frequencies which create a hypnotic state of...

      INGE LEMON - HUMANOID INTELLIGENCE         (ALBUM INTERVIEW - Visions Of Trance) 1. Hi, you just released your debut album, "Humanoid Intelligence." Where did the idea for the title come from? It’s in the title — it’s made with humanoid intelligence: me and AI. We’re in a moment of change. Music is no longer shaped only by human intelligence, and I see that as evolution, not a problem. Many artists are already using AI quietly — I just chose to do it openly. For me, it’s a tool to push ideas and emotion, just like artists have always used new technology. At the same time, I don’t believe organic, human-made music will ever disappear. That will always have its place. This is simply another layer — not a replacement. 2. What inspired you to write your debut studio album? Curiosity, more than anything. I had already been working on an album for over a year when I started experimenting with AI — and that’s when things became interesting. I used ...

Check out this exclusive interview with Visions of Trance. 1. What is Trance music to you? It's hypnotic or euphoric dance music driven by drums and bassline, filled with atmospheric melodic landscapes, at any level from simple repeating melody all the way to grand symphony. 2. How do you perceive the state of the current trance music scene? The kind of trance we saw peaking around 98-2000 is something I call prototype trance. Since that this style has been growing in all directions and influenced many other genres so much it’s hard to say what’s not trance now. For example, when I listen to modern progressive house or melodic techno it often sounds like early t...
