The underlying structure of Reverie was inspired by Trance music, a genre of electronic music that evolved out of House, Techno and Ambient. Trance continues to influence a wide variety of popular music genres today. Classic Trance is characterized by a 4/4 time signature with a tempo ranging from 125 to 150 beats per minute and beat/melodic phrasing that produces a very rhythmic, atmospheric quality.
Dave created the textural structure for Reverie based on a sawtooth waveform which is often used in Trance compositions. Representational elements from several of Paula’s photographs were then worked into that structure to produce a dreamy sense of being lost in thought on a beautiful autumn afternoon. See our blog for more information on the techniques we use to create our work.
Hope you are having a wonderful winter season!
