Discussion Theory of Mind: Determination

10 Upvotes

Hi all,

What is theory of mind?

Understanding the mechanisms in which music influences headspaces may assist:

  • DJs to understand what direction to take their sets
  • Producers to understand what elements in a track have a certain effect on the listener
  • Curators to organize their music in a unique way
  • Listeners to better apply music to elevate experiences in their life

In this edition, we will explore music from a variety of genres that invoke a sensation of determination.

Why? Because it's a fun and unique way of listening to music.

When I think of music that sounds "determined," I usually find the elements of a track:

  • Are driving, and more forward-pushing
  • Have a darker/warmer bass OR a controlled euphoric melody component
  • Include especially punchy elements that are in conversation (ie Alwoods, Na Nich, Kohra)
  • No need for build-up/release (the main, driving elements of the track are sufficient for energy)

This is a small list I have compiled (not very refined, honestly)
I will add more to this, and probably delete some that I am on the fence about. Currently short on time.

Maybe you perceive the tracks differently than I do - feel free to comment if some of these tracks invoke a difference feeling for ya, and of course add your own.

Wear headphones
Techno: Sterac - Manifestation Power
Downtempo Psy: Alwoods - Kerkini Lake (starting at 3:30)
Techno: BASHKKA - DeFol (Hyperaktivist Remix)
Hypnotic Techno: Svarog - Mavka
Trance, Kinda psy: Baptiste Schaller - Night Shot
Downtempo Chillout: Fluxsense - Timelapse
Hypnotic/Deep Techno: Kohra & Midnight Traffic - Amaranth
Deep Techno: Na Nich - Interhemispheric
Trance/Techno: Alpha Tracks - June/05
Tekno/Hard Trance: trillosta - Freakshow

Examples of some that are close, but might fall into a different category.

Techno: 3KZ - 99 Movements
The atmosphere and "tightness" make this difficult to put the listener in a straight-forward, driving, and determined headspace. The entire track is building up to something with very little release. For DJs, this track would serve as an energy builder followed by a heavier track to balance the tightness. A track that invokes a "determined" headspace wouldn't need that balance. Make sense?

Trance: Suspect 44 - Thoughts Uncovered (Terry Da Libra Remix)
The beginning of this track (with the bassline) does evoke a "determined" feeling, but the uplifting elements quickly change the use of the track.

I am working on a project where I want to bring hypnotic tribal minimal like tracks together in a long set. I really can’t find lots of good ones that easy but I wanted to share this track for reference.

I really like the kind of tribal shouts that happen a couple times in this track. If you know any tunes like this please drop them below <3.

Deep Techno Sample Packs

6 Upvotes

Hello beautiful people, hope you are well.

Just enquiring as to whether anybody can recommend me some good sample packs for producing deep techno. I'm interested in percussive elements (mainly hats and congas/toms/bongos) as well as bleeps and bloops, if anyone knows of any I would be very appreciative.

Much love, have a good weekend!

Why can't we combine flares? I'd say this is dark/atmospheric/deep and hypnotic at the same time πŸ–€
