Tranquence

Finnish Goa Trance project by Aki Malinen, started in 1996, when he was experimenting with software such as Fast Tracker 2. The following years, he created his own samples in addition of editing sounds, using freeware synths and other software, until he decided to buy hardware synths. He came to develop a style that blended metal with different electronic genres, to create, in his own words, "fast and melodic Goa trance with a hint of 'in the dark forest, looking at the bright stars' vibe". Some Tranquence tracks were once available for download on MP3.com and mikseri.net platforms.
