how we rate the tunes: the art of A&Ring
When browsing through our alpha or beta list you might contemplate on how all those tunes
made it to the lists. You might raise the question: why exactly these pieces? Why not more of Tiesto
or Paul van Dyk or ...?!
Of course: all your questions are justified! Just as everyone got her / his own taste so we won't claim
we constructed the non-plus-ultra list. We are sure that we are not able to please all needs and preferences.
Instead, when creating the lists step-by-step we try to implement, to stick to something we call quasi-objective evaluation rules
when listening to new tunes or doing pre-selections of potential alpha or beta list candidates.
So, this section is very closely connected with the (our) definition of a quasi-objectivity in trance music.
But before we start, we have to stipulate that we don't insist to manipulate the course of things and the subjectiveness of every cognitive system.
A little theory is necessary to receive a reasonable and understandable approach into the difficult world of A&R’ing, meaning the
’art’ of listening, evaluating and selecting tunes from the scene’s massive output.
more soon ... you can look forward to gain a deeper insights into the evaluation and selection work and the maintenance of the project’s core: the alpha and beta lists!!
make sure to check back regularly. For the topics to come see beneath:
1. a lesson in constructivism
2. hh’s quasi-objectivity approach (HH.QOA)
3. trance production and recording standards
4. the question of style
5. the fashion factor / trend indicator

tech news: abc links problem fixed!
the abc quick links at the top of the a-list and the [ top ] links there are functional again.
However, it takes some more time to repair other section's [ top ] links and anchors. This is due to the SEO works (header modification for ext. access).
Please scroll instead and still avoid using the quick and cross links mentioned above. Thanks!
