During these times some of the most skilled producers and DJ's committed themselves into exploring new horizons within the psychedelic music universe, opening the portals to other psy-dimensions and unexplored realities. Looking back in retrospect we can safely say that this was one of the first significant evolutions that the psychedelic goa-trance scene went through. Join us and bring your energy, so that together we can make our collective dream a reality.ĭino Psaras and Steve Ronan, a duo who started performing in the beginning of the 90's under the name Ayahuasca.Įvery edition we do our best to bring an artist with the power to revive the psychedelic sounds unleashed in the end of the 90's by the Atomic / Aurinko records family.Ītomic Records as a label, was responsible for designing and releasing a signature music language, explored at the time by the most heavy-weight producers.Įven though most of Cydonia’s material was released by Blue Room Records during the 90's, it was just after they signed under the Atomic Records label in '98 that most of us really started to dive into their work.Īnd it was as a part of the Atomic Records family that Cydonia blessed us with some of the best transitions yet heard by Man, varying from old school goa trance melodies to an intense industrial psychedelic goa music. This is another one of those ZNA moments that has all the right pieces to make it unforgettable, and will surely mark its place in the book of psytrance history, along all of those other beautiful moments we have been writing with all of you. So, for our dear Retro-Futuristic addicts: expect nothing but powerful emotional melodies and epic acid soundscapes from these two psy-maestros. And even though they chose to explore different perspectives of the music scene during their career, at ZNA there will be a special focus on their best - released and unreleased - dancefloor oriented music, crafted in the (g)old days when many of us developed this timeless bond with our scene. then render it to audio and search for the best peaces to rebuild one great phrase.Īnother way to maybe achieve it is to put the vocal chops into a sampler and pitch/pitchshift it there.Two musical veterans from the Goa Psy trance scene that have embraced the huge challenge of sharing the stage for a very special act, designed exclusively for the psychedelic dancing experience we are planning for our next edition, focused on generating those unique retro-futuristic moments we all look forward to.Īmidst the legendary work these two masterminds conjured together there is plenty of amazing music to be explored by all of us. Just copy your phrase 100 times and then adjust slow modulation parameters. Flangers phasers and other modulation effects can give some great movement.
The area between 700 and 900 hz should work fine, since there is not that much information in our speech.Īlso distort the voice slightly and compress the hell out of it to get a stable instrument. Try to accent another frequency area with a notch filter sweep according to the phrase (it is like following the natural pitch movement). I would automate the cut-off according to the phrase you wrote. You hear they there is some lowpassfilter. Also remove noisy parts of the vocal like s, f p, t and such syllables as they tend to screw melodynes algorithm. that way it stays vocal but changes timbre. Also be sure to use the pitch drift function of melodyne to get some pitch shifts, also reduce the vibrato with the pitch modulation tool to make the sounds less human and more instrumental.Ī good idea is to pitch stuff up and the formants down or pitch stuff down and the formants up. In melodyne you can change the formants of the vocal without editing the pitch to get the "kittiness" into the vocal.
Then i would use celemonys melodyne to pitch individual notes around. I would try to get a great sustained vocal/speech phrase and chop it up to get some rhythm. For me it sounds like ethnic vocals treated with some automated fx.
