Tech-Trance is a sub-genre within Electronic Dance Music that draws upon the Techno and Trance genres as the name suggests. Tech-Trance focuses more on the Techno elements, incorporates traditional elements of Techno, with its repetitive nature and strong 4/4 beat, while deriving the melodic elements from Trance. Tech-Trance compositions tend to have a tempo of around 135-150 Beats per minute. Tech-Trance tends to utilize a more driving sound while commonly using distortion as an effect on the melodies. Commonly, the melody containing strings and pads will begin once the beat has completely stopped, playing by itself much like a Trance breakdown. This melody will suddenly stop, leaving the drums and a completely different synth to begin, whereas Trance songs would generally continue with the same melody. The synths are short, repetitive and contain less note changes than Trance, often having the same note played in an interesting sequence. For an example, see Sam Sharp's "Deep".
While breakdowns and builds within a song are important elements of many electronic genres, they are less prevalent in Tech-Trance. As a result, more abrupt stops and starts are used to increase the effect of sudden changes within the music. Vocals are also quite rare within the Tech-Trance genre, with only short phrases or single words normally incorporated. Tech-Trance is currently quite an underground genre, but is growing in popularity due to its hard-edged nature and growing list of producers.

To improve ones technique in some form of activity through the act of focused and sustained self-observation (and may be aided by use of tools such as shooting cell-phone video footage of one’s self)
You must be your own best tech if you want to improve.
I’m teching myself with footage I’ve shot with my phone.

A school where we pretend to be smarter then we are. There arent any fights, teachers are mean, classes suck, & everyone secretly wants to go back to their home school. Kids from other schools think we're stuck up, but the truth is that half of us that go there don't really belong there at all. We have a great sports that no one cares about, & we never go on field trips. We have more school spirit then all of the other schools in the county put together, go mavericks !
