Ancient Knowledge is a modern 'Classic Trance' track inspired by the pioneering masters that created the genre. Hypnotic synths, evolving pads and a mesmerizing lead arranged in a trance-inducing composition.

A journey into the surreal beauty of the altered states of consciousness. Colourful and rich, fully immersive. The inner representation of reality, often more real than everyday life. This is the integrative experience that is with us since the dawn of humanity. 

Ancient Knowledge, the deepest spring, has always been here, ever fresh and flowing, available as potential to be expressed by the creative consciousness. 

This source of creativity is beyond knowing and able to express the inexpressible. Being both intelligible and untranslatable. A universal language beyond words. The closest to experiencing the emotional state it expresses. Profound significance harmonically unfolding. Autotelic nature. Ancient Knowledge.

Trance came into being in the early 1990's after house bifurcated into mellow and hardcore styles. The early trance, that we fell in love with, was a very diverse collection of flavours and productions. The pioneering days where very experimental when synthesizers and samplers became less expensive and available to a lot of creative souls. 

This new genre, what we now call Classic Trance, was slower than contemporary 'supersaw' trance, often also darker and certainly less formatted, but always hypnotic, immersive, melodic with floating chords. The Golden Combination: repetitive synth phrases, lots of delay and reverb, beautiful chord pads or gated strings on top of  four-to-the-floor TR-909 'Rhythm Composer' beats. 

In Ancient Knowledge you can hear influence from some of the most creative and inspiring Sages of Trance like Oliver Lieb, Resistance D and Paul van Dyk.  

Trance is probably the oldest form of music, the combination of drumming, singing and dancing used in ritual ceremonies dating back to the cradle of humanity. Music is very much a defining characteristic of human beings. All children, intuitively start dancing when hearing music. Music is used in celebrations, funerals, religion, social gatherings, shamanic rituals, films, work, sports and leisure. It is so deeply embedded within us that we rarely stop to question "why is it so significant?" 

It is very striking that a lot of well-known philosophers, throughout the ages and different cultures, praise music as 'the highest form of art': Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Confucius, Chuang Tzu, Lao Tzu, Alan Watts, Susanne Langer and Susan Sontag, to name but few, all adored music.

Why would this be? Perhaps it is the closest thing to Reality we can create: music is an ineffable, harmonically whole, conveying our deepest emotions, ordered in time, with just enough sprinkles of surprising chaos to keep it interesting, and the only thing we can do is to enjoy it while it unfolds, to flow with the movement of change.

"Music has become a symbolic language of the unconscious mind whose symbolism we shall never be able to fathom." Anton Ehrenzweig

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." Plato

"Music remains an enigma." Anthony Storr   

Harmonic Love is

Ancient Knowledge

Awakened Beauty follows the rise of the lotus, emerging from the darkness, journeying towards the light. And finally breaking through the water surface and dancing around in pure joy. An enlightening and hypnotic track with a gentle flow to direct the gaze inward. From peak to plateau!

In Buddhism the Lotus flower signifies enlightenment or awakening. The plant grows from the muddy soil and emerges clean and radiating pure beauty. The muddy ground represents the human experience with all its difficulties and suffering. To transcend the mud, rise to the surface and flourish with stunning clearness is what awakening is all about. 

But the symbolism of the Lotus as a sign of purity predates the Buddha and thus it is not just a Buddhist symbol. It represents the mystical state that made Gautama the Buddha. Throughout history and modern times there have been many sages and 'ordinary' people who entered this state either spontaneously or after many different kinds of practice. 

"Master Game: the quest for enlightenment, salvation, or awakening. This is the game played by sages across cultures and centuries. It is the game of exploring and mastering not the outer but the inner world of one’s own mind and consciousness. Its ultimate goal is no less than to recognize and dissolve into one’s true nature and to delight in the greatest of all possible discoveries: the ecstatic realization that this nature is inseparable from the Divine." Robert DeRopp

The interesting thing is that we tend to think of the mystical state as some kind of unattainable state that only 'the special one's' might attain after many years or, some belief, lifetimes. But there are some commonalities that point to a whole other realization. 

The realization that you are part of the whole, all that is happening right now. The Universal Unfolding. It is the spontaneous, merged state of being that cannot be attained by force or deliberate action. There is nothing 'you' can 'do' to 'achieve' it. 

"Enlightenment or awakening is not the creation of a new state of affairs but the recognition of what already is." Alan Watts
"The only difference between sage or mystic and ordinary, unenlightened man is that the one realizes his identity with God or Brahman, whereas the other does not. But the lack of realization does not alter the fact." Alan Watts 

Not only is all non-dual and is there nothing you can do to attain it, it is also very, very familiar and ordinary. 

And Zen, not mucking about, points directly:
"Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water, and when you’re tired go and lie down. The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand." Lin-chi 
"Zen is not some fancy, special art of living. Our teaching is just to live, always in reality, in its exact sense." Shunryu Suzuki
"My daily affairs are quite ordinary; but I’m in total harmony with them." Layman Pang

So here we are. All is different and all is the same. Now go and live your life fully, Awakened Beauty!

Awakened Beauty

Elixir of Life is an illusive and emerging track full of longing strings and hopeful, evolving synths. Gradually the ingredients of the Elixir blend together and start to inoculate its brew with the magic of music. Immersive and direct, the Elixir of Life insists that life, as music, is for experiencing. To live for the sake of living, no other purpose. To just be. Just to experience.

Throughout the human history the Alchemists were on a quest to find The Elixir of Life, the magical potion that would grant the drinker eternal life and/or eternal youth, and would also cure all diseases. A mighty goal indeed. And even though thousands of years of experimentation with all kinds of substances, which did not work, and often than not, greatly shortened the life of the drinker by slowly poisoning them. Although the magical potion was never found, we learned a lot in the process. The general rule of life: you live and learn. And by finding what did not work, you get a tiny bit closer to what will work. The lessons learned are the reward.

Why is it so difficult to accept the progressive stages of life gracefully and see that each has their beauty and difficulties? Why is it so difficult to accept the inevitable? 

The Elixir of Life, or Elixirs, as we see it cannot be bought. They are the things that you do and not do. They are freely available to all and do not require large sums of money to be handed over to some of the most greedy exploiters of fear imaginable. You are the Elixir and only you can determine what works for you. You are responsible for your health and how you feel. 

"Traveler, your footprints are the path and nothing more. Traveler, there is no path. The path is made by walking.  By walking the path is made and when you look back you’ll see a road, never to be trodden again." Antonio Machado

That brings us by one of the most important Elixirs of Life, walking. 

"Long walks are very underrated." Tim Ferris

"If you're in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you come back and you're still in a bad mood, go for another walk." Hippocrates

Long walks in nature are nourishment for the soul. 

"Philosophers went on a lot of walks—to get where they needed to go, to clear their heads, to get fresh air. Throughout the ages, philosophers, writers, poets, and thinkers have found that walking offers an additional benefit—time and space for better work. Nourish yourself and your mind and solve your problems along the way." Ryan Holiday

"A walk in nature, walks the soul back home." Mary Davis

The lovely things with long walks in nature is that you are outside, so you will get ample amounts of daylight. Which is another very important Elixir. 

When you are active outside, and make sure your light and dark exposure is optimal and natural, another very powerful Elixir starts to activate its healing and health-promoting power. Sleep! It is so unbelievably underrated, that it is impossible for us here to  explain the truly majestic importance of regular, high-quality sleep. It is probably the one things most of us could have to most beneficial effect in our lives. Sleep is the basis, and essential, for our mental and physical well-being. Do yourself a favor and make it a top priority in your life!

"Sleep is the elixir of life. It is the most widely available democratic and powerful healthcare system I could ever possibly imagine." Matthew Walker

What makes you feel better? That state is the true Elixir of Life!

Elixir Of Life

Arcana is another trance-inducing, hypnotic and melodic release that was created using the Secret Transnoia Formula! Featuring a rolling bass that morphs into a captivating melody, evolving in a harmonious environment of spacious pads and floaty, hypnotic synths. 

Arcana is esoteric or secret knowledge that is only revealed to the initiated, often about the mysteries of physical and spiritual worlds. Throughout history this secret knowledge has been a big part of religious groups, sects, alchemists, and other secluded parts of society. Some notable examples would be the Hellenistic Eleusinian Mysteries and the Vedic drink Soma, of which it is still unknown what it contained. Some of the most famous Arcana seem to be centered around the ritual use of psychedelics. 

"Psychedelics are inherently spiritual tools." Myron Stolaroff
"What psychedelics seem to do acutely, during the experience itself, they seem to relax beliefs, and open a window for change, for revision. And if that opportunity is ceased, with the right kind of psychological support, then you can work towards cultivating a healthy revision of these pathological beliefs and habits." Robin Carhart-Harris 
"Psychedelics get us closer to [understanding who we are] than almost any other thing I know of." David E. Nichols

This would tie in nicely with mysterious part, there are countless ways of altering one's state of consciousness, and all human cultures throughout the ages, intimately knew, and used plants and spiritual techniques to accomplish this, often in combination. Herbs, dancing, chanting, meditation, holotropic breath-work, fungi, fasting, sensory deprivation, heat and cold exposure, exercise, mild poison exposure, solitude, there is an endless and diverse list of activities and substances to alter consciousness. 

What all these experiences have in common is that they have a powerful effect of dissolving the sense of self and thus uniting with reality. Turning a sense of isolation into integration. Arcanic techniques always invoke a deeply meaningful realization that is not explainable with words. All mystics, among them many enlightened people, prophets, philosophers, saints and shaman's have realized that there is much more to life than we ordinarily perceive, and that we are ultimately one with mystery of reality. 

"Many of these ancient practices that induce heightened states of awareness evolved out of strategies, unique, human strategies for survival and reproduction. But then they become fascinating on their own, exercise is one of them, another one [...] is psychedelics."  Charles Raison 
"The real mystery does not behave mysteriously or secretively; it speaks a secret language, it adumbrates itself by a variety of images which all indicate its true nature. It is known only through vague hints but essentially unknown." Carl Jung
"The ultimate secret of the spiritual world, namely, that fully enlightened and ever-present Divine awareness is not hard to attain but impossible to avoid." Ken Wilber

And of course, one of the most mysterious and joyful altered state inducing techniques is listening to music! Music is an incredible tool for modulating emotions, bringing people together, synchronizing them to the tempo of the beat. Transporting you to abstract realms of enjoyment, which are impossible to explain. Trance is especially geared towards inducing altered states, because there is something that happens in our brain when it gets entrained by repetition. Hopefully, you get to experience some of these wonderful and joyous states when listening to Arcana!

"Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul." Plato
"Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife." Kahlil Gibran

Shimmering Light is a introvert and reserved track freely flowing from dawn to dusk. Progressing gently with big shimmering pads to symbolizing the nature of light during the magical the transformation from dark to light, subtly coloring in the world with the a vibrant spectrum of color. A picked guitar melody represents the timeless quality that this most important day of our lives will commence. With the assurance that it is going to be a good day. A beautiful, ascending synth melody keeps the day happening and evolving, it represent the hopeful quality that this new day serves. To bring the cycle to a close, slowly the darkness casts its shadows longer and longer, slowly overpowering the brightness with its dark undertones. Until tomorrow when the whole spectacle will happen again, the Shimmering Light will return and conquer once again, revealing the pure beauty once more.

"For each new morning with its light, for rest and shelter of the night, for health and food, for love and friends, for everything Thy goodness sends." Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Spring of Day:
Early morning, just before dawn, is always a special moment. While still in the silent reverie, an anticipation begins to grow as the first signs of light start appearing, painting the whole sky a beautiful deep, dark blue. The subtle, undefinable beginning, the first sign that a new day is slowly encroaching. The transfiguration to a new divine dawn. Birds start singing their eloquent songs improvising the soundtrack to an awakening world. 
 
"Faith is a bird that feels the light, and sings when the dawn is still dark." Rabindranath Tagore

The light, just before sunrise, seems to hesitant and a little bit shy, this beautiful shimmering quality adorns the sky and clouds with the most spectacular light, with colors ranging from purple to the most amazing shades of orange. When conditions are right the awe-inspiring, magical beauty of the flaming sky is breathtaking. Almost too beautiful to bare!

When the sun climbs above the horizon it blazes forth with its mighty power, beaming with delight. Bathing all in its radiant rays of warm delight. Illuminating the day without hesitation the darkness had no chance!

The Autumn of Day:
The other special moment is the autumn of the day. When the sun sinks towards the edge of the world, it grows ever larger and its light becomes more orange and warm, the final pièce de résistance. This is a perfect time to go to the beach or beautiful vantage point and behold the departure with your loved ones. Saying goodbye to a faithful, nurturing friend, whom you will soon see again. It is the final transformation ending the day, slowly giving reign to the dark shadow of the Earth, dulling the colors and, eventually, making them disappear. May we soon be reunited, Shimmering Light!

"All the darkness in the world can't put out the light of one candle." Confucius

"Today is the most important day of our lives.
I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.

Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. 
What a precious gift! 

We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others."

Shimmering Light

Ethereal voices are calling your attention towards the heavens, where the divine, ethereal Aurora's softly meander in a gorgeous dance of light. Spirits of the Sky is an ode to those most enchanting visions with floating pads, hypnotic synths and a mesmerizingly beautiful melody. Watch and listen with awe!

Usually we would advice you to close your eyes when listening to music, but this time we suggest to keep them open and turn your gaze to the night sky. Not only can you see the infinity of the Universe, the beauty of the Milky Way and the stars, sometimes, in higher and lower latitude locations, there is an even more impressing spectacle to behold, the awe-inspiring Aurora's.

Spirits of the Sky is as ethereal as the most enchanting light shows nature has to offer, the Aurora's which where the inspiration for this track. Ephemeral voices softly are calling you like the swirling tapestry of light that dynamically paints the infinite darkness of the sky with the most beautiful, subtle colors. Like music, the aurora's are an interplay between waves, the atmosphere and our perception, all ingredients are essential to complete the spontaneous, blissful experience. When you are lucky enough to get to see the Spirits of the Sky nothing is left to say, just stare in awe at the insubstantial reality that is the Celestial Display of Wonder. When the Spirits of the Sky call, nothing needs to be done but surrender! 

"When the time of the midnight sun and the brights night is over, it leaves the sky as a black canvas, where the stars and the northern lights gets to create its masterpiece in the nights." Jonna Jinton

Few people get to see the Aurora's, and, unfortunately, and increasing amount of people have never seen the Milky Way and the countless stars in the night sky because of light pollution. Most people live in cities and see only a few stars between lots of buildings. This truly is a shame, because it would be very healthy for all of us to behold the incredible amount of stars softly beaming their powerful rays from unimaginable distances. This enormous scale, and thus the realization that we are just an incredibly tiny and maybe even insignificant part of the Universe dawns on us, offering us some well-needed balance.

"Stars are holes in the sky from which the light of the infinite shines." Confucius
"Each reflection, however long or short its duration, manifests the vastness of the dewdrop and realizes the limitlessness of the moonlight in the sky." Dogen

So much about modern life divorces us from the natural rhythms and grand scope of Universal Nature. It is hard to imagine the vast portion of our evolution, aeons upon aeons, that, each night, we slept under the star-filled sky inspiring countless stories and images about our place in the Cosmos. The precious connection with night sky is only recently lost, and we've still come to realize how grand the consequences are. The norm for so long was to gather around a fire with the people we care about, and join in storytelling, singing and dancing under the star-filled sky. The stars where incredibly important for all of our ancestors, to predict the future and navigate the world. Please, if you get the chance, especially when you have children, find a dark place on a clear night and stare with awe into infinity! Nothing will be better!

"When you are struggling with just about anything, look up. Just ponder the night sky for a minute." BJ Miller
"Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that first, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart." David Whyte
"Only from the heart can you touch the sky." Rumi

Spirits Of The Sky

Yūgen a wordless expression of harmony, in and from the Universe. Pulsating synths, hypnotic pads from which emanates a timeless guitar melody all in imbued with the deep and ineffable Transnoia essence.

Yūgen is the indescribable experience of wonder, feeling the deep beauty that is the source of ordinary experience, which is extraordinary. A profound, mysterious sense of beauty of the evanescence of the world as an ever changing expression of the Universe. A direct experience of something deeper and more subtle than what can be directly experienced. A unique personal experience of the Universal. 

"An awareness of the Universe that triggers emotional responses too deep and mysterious for words." Alan Watts

Words cannot describe the feeling of beauty, they can only, at best, suggest it. We have made words very important, but the description is not the thing, a the map is not the territory. Words are wholly inadequate to convey what you experience when beauty and love really touch you. Music is indescribable, that is why we share with you these abstractions, as we try to do something impossible and counterproductive, to describe our deepest expression of music. All we can hope for is that the joy and inspiration we feel during its creation can be shared with you through the medium of music as you flow with the waves of harmony. Music is often used as a metaphor for the Universal Harmony.

Music is one of the most useful ways of expressing what cannot be said. It is communicating emotions as they are abstract, direct and intense. Music has the ability to invoke an subtle altered state in which mind, every so shortly, but ultimately timeless can become totally absorbed in the present, and show you how peaceful life is when the restless, random thoughts become silence and pure beauty is revealed. This is Yūgen!

"Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion." Rumi

"To the mind that is still the whole Universe surrenders." Lao Tzu

"We all have been mystics, sadly most have forgotten the magic of childhood, when we were fully merged with reality. Artists have cultivated the creative spirit which once inhabited all of us. The great works of art have the ineffable effect of reminding what we have lost. That is where their immense power comes from. Remember that this flame, how ever tiny or forgotten, always is there deep within you. The ultimate state of creative being can be kindled, nurtured back to health, and light up to become what it once was a pure, spontaneous expression of bliss." gophia

Transnoia - Yūgen

A timeless trance classic for an endless summer! Warm flowing Classic Trance vibes wit a fantastic Ibiza feel. An ode to the early days of trance when the hypnotic, positive feel was found to be perfect for dancing late into the night on the beach. This a deliciously long dreamy track that takes you on a sweet journey towards the sunset and beyond deep into the glowing night.

"A powerful destiny lies coiled inside you." Steve Pressfield

Destiny if a funny thing, you cannot change it, but your can deviate from it. Although this is nothing more that your Destiny teaching you  a lesson. Your Destiny is however you life will unfold. In that sense you have no control over it whatsoever, and when you accept whatever will come with open arms and a radiant smile,  reality will start to make things happen that you could never dream of being realized.

"Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him." Henry Miller

Destiny is what, deep inside you know you need to do. Usually it something creative or helping other people. If you do not know your Destiny it is what will be revealed to you when you are silent long enough. It is your personal, subjective life of happiness. You have all kinds of excuses why it won't work, or is a bad idea, or you have it pretty good now, or people around you discourage you. You know that you have deviated from your destiny when you feel strong underlying dissatisfaction with what you are doing. The compulsive need for pleasure, buying and distraction are good indicators that you have gone off course. It doesn't matter how well you are doing in the eyes of your peers or society. Deep in your heart you know you have something infinitely more important to do. It is the thing that is scary and you have to dive recklessly into the Unknown. The only free will that you have, is to deviate from its course by blindly following you egotistical desires. Trying to become who others think you should be instead of, unapologetically being who really are. The more you surrender your agency, your mistaken belief of free will, you will start to flourish as you smoothly Return to Destiny.

"I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve." Albert Schweitzer

This track is a typical Return to Destiny for us, long a go in the late nineties the seed for this track was laid. Those trailblazers who made beautiful, warm and friendly trance that was a combination of deep, hypnotic synths, with big sweeping pads and driving beats. It was the perfect time for it creation and catered for happy, positive people who wanted to come together and dance all night long. Thankfully times come back and this genre is needed more than ever. We need connection, we need friendliness, we need positive, harmonic and upbeat music to energize and heal. The Golden Time of Trance was 25 years ago, but timeless music is always of all times. We have deviated from the beauty of the earlier expressions, but it is never too late to Return to Destiny.

"Believe in your own experience, dare to be alive, dare to do what is your destiny." Paolo Coelho

"Try to live your life and be happy with your destiny, acquiring inner peace by love and good deeds." Marcus Aurelius

Return to Destiny

Return To Destiny

With Spring Flower Transnoia honours the return of the light and warmth of the season of flourishing. A hypnotic track that unfolds like the tiny, delicate flower journeying from the Earth reaching for the sky growing stronger, progressing towards the revelation of its innate essence, the beautiful expression of nature that is Spring Flower.

Spring is the time of flourishing. The return of the light and warmth that regenerates nature and all within it.

After the winter the green colour of life arise from the Earth once more, for another cycle of growth. The bird song's start to return and swells into the most beautiful dawn chorus. As branches reach for the sun, they start to unfold their solar panels soaking up the increasingly powerful, life-giving rays of the Sun. New life start to unfold its wings and venture out of the cave of winter to, once again, explore the vast beauty of nature that is all around. Tiny buds start to form and grow, the process of expressing its innate beauty, the unfolding flower. In a couple of weeks, after a long slumber, nature wakes up, spring propels the entirety of nature towards its zenith as the whole world turns lush and green sprinkled with the most gorgeous compositions of vivid colours. Green fields of beautiful flowers.

"Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself." Matsuo Basho

Spring touches the heart directly with a powerful energy and we cannot but help to feel this expression within us. There is the renewal of energy as the days grow longer and the gentle warm breeze invites us to return to a life outside. As the young ones take their first steps, unsteady on their feet, flapping their wings with excitement in anticipation of leaving the nest, taking off, first flight. 

"The spring is like a new start. It is a time to let go of the old, to let new life grow. To open up the windows of our soul, to let the fresh air clean away the heavy darkness from the winter. To let go of old patterns, to take a new breath and let new energy guide us on this journey we're on, and to let winds of the spring heal our hearts." Jonna Jinton

Because of its transformation, spring is the best time of year to make changes, to harvest its unlimited power. To move with its force, we too can transform our lives for the better. Just as the seeds are small, nurtured by water and warmth, they can take hold and slowly, but surely, start to grow into a strong and powerful new ways.

In the end, every track springs out of nothing into existence. This initial source of creativity is the seed, which with lots of time, attention and love, which is the spring, can start to grow . It might have tremendous potential which needs to be brought out and so some of these seeds will grow into fully fledged tracks that we can share with you. These are our expressions of love, rhythm and harmony that we offer the world. Our contribution, our giving, to make the world a little more beautiful for us being here. When the seeds flourish we can offer you our Gift of Love. This is Spring Flower!

Emptiness of the Void

After a short period of silence, Transnoia is back with another evolving Trance track featuring lots of big floaty strings, tasteful piano chords and a very catchy and beautiful piano melody. 

Silence is not a luxury. Silence is fundamental for all sound arises from silence and returns to silence in each moment. 

"The quieter you'll become the more you are able to hear." Rumi

When born into a noisy world it is all to easy to believe that this is normal and does not have detrimental consequences. Noise is by no means harmless.

Noise pollution can cause all kinds of physical health problems and psychological effects. It can disrupt sleep and behavioral patterns. In addition, noise pollution can affect people's ability to focus, leading to low performance over time.

"There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen." Rumi

Perhaps even more problematic is that it is also preventing deep insights. To focus we must block out noise and auditive distractions around us, and there is a large group of people that are not very good at this. When constantly distracted with noise from outside, and the chaos of thoughts inside, it blocks out the important signals, especially the subtlest and barely noticeable. The sad thing is that these are the most profound. It is all but impossible to hear the subtle teachings that can only be heard in silence.

"Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom." Francis Bacon

Nature is the ultimate place to return to silence and allow the space for deep insight. The tree is rooted in Earth and stretches out to touch the sky. It is the bridge between Heaven and Earth. 

"My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires." Hazrat Inayat Khan

The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol found in various cultures, religions, and mythologies, representing the interconnectedness of all life and the balance between the physical and spiritual worlds. In ancient traditions, the tree is seen as a symbol of life itself, representing the totality of the universe and the harmony between different realms. It is the timeless  symbol of the cosmos, a living bridge between the creator and creation, and a roadmap for returning to the divine source. It signifies life's complexity and our place in the cosmic order. The tree represents balance and harmony, with its roots remaining in the Earth and its branches in the sky, showing that life is a delicate balance. The Tree of Life is a universal symbol that represents the interconnectedness of all life, the balance between the physical and spiritual worlds, and the cyclical nature of existence. It is a symbol of strength, wisdom, and the eternal nature of life.

"Listen with the spirit to hear the subtle sound. The deepest sound is silence." Deng Ming-Dao

So give yourself the gift of silently sitting under a tree with an empty mind, and listen very carefully to what Silent Insight has been transmitting.

"After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." Aldous Huxley

Music is harmonious, evolving, well-balanced and ordered sound. Silence is fundamental, after that which comes closest is music that has the magical quality of being able to completely absorb you, to let you disappear. That is why music has been so instrumental in the evolution of humans. To create music, to play together, sing together, to dance together is what it means to be human. It is to cooperate, to synchronise and harmonise, to become one with those around you. Ultimately, there is unity in harmony.

"In the depth of silence is hidden the source of love. The eye of faith alone can unveil and see the illumination of that love. This music resounds in my ears and has become the song of my life." Swami Rama

Silent Insight (Edit)

Gale force winds where blowing over the dune city of The Hague. With one half of Transnoia otherwise occupied, the other member was left alone with a substantial amount of synthesizers. With natures power roaring outside, an intimate, warm composition was taking shape in the Transnoia Studio.  Quite Solitude came into being, with a gently rolling  bassline, waves of evolving synths and beautiful pads.

This demo is part of the tracks we are creating for a live performances.
Please enjoy!

Quiet Solitude

A powerful bass-driven track with spacious pads and an elegant piano melody, transporting you to the plane of eternity that lies beyond time. 

The track commences with a powerful bass pedal point, strongly propelling forward. A pluck repeating and bouncing in space, enhancing the thrust of take-off, giving a strong foundation on which ethereal pads float with a timeless ease. 
A beautiful piano gets introduced, adding to the contrast. Light and delicate, moving with cease. Up and down, free and tender. Heavenly order, dissolving all in a pleasant harmonious manner. Focusing the mind on the here-and-now, the everlasting present of being. 
Eternity is Beyond Time.      

Funny thing, time. It is so familiar and fundamental in our lives, yet we don't know what it is, or if it even exists. There seems to be an arrow of time, moving from past to future. And what we call present is that thin slice wedged between the two. Yet all our lives, and everything that happens, plays out during this tiny fragment. 

For musicians time is equally important and fundamental for all rhythm is division in time. Time signatures, are divisions in time. Beats per minute or tempo are division time. Duration is a period of time. Even harmony and timbre are functions of different qualities of sound waves in time and space. The frequencies you hear in the room you are in, color the sound because of their different behavior in that space. 

Time and space are so intimately interwoven, that they are one entity as a very well-known scientist has so beautifully shown.

"The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." Albert Einstein

The remarkable thing with music is that, despite its profound orderly structure (especially the kind we make), it is the most powerful method to make time disappear. A structure of, and in time, that dissolves its own foundation, and by this liberates itself. Perhaps that is why music is so powerful. Being beyond time and thus eternal.

"Eternity is not some later time. Eternity isn't a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now, which thinking and time cuts out." Joseph Campbell

Time remains illusive. An integral dimension of our lives, yet one of its the greatest mysteries. Perhaps because we confuse time with eternity. Time is our limited, divisive conceptualization of eternity. The present is all there is, was and will be. Since the beginning of time, being ever present, the whole. The Big Bang 'has happened' now, all future 'will happen' now. This is eternity, everything that is now, beyond time, beyond division.

"Words! Words! The Way is beyond language, for in it there is no yesterday, no tomorrow, no today." Seng-Ts'an
