had a listen to one of his awesome tracks last year and I believe a lot of it is down to good old imaginativeness and love of detail.

Hi Bonteburg

Did you read the article ? probably not but
you are spot on.

Some of it translates to something like.

"the gear you use doesnt play that big a part.
The most important thing is to use your ears,
and use a lot of time and patience in the
production phase. Pay a lot of attention
to your sounds and their role."

Check out his recent remix of Röyksopp's "What else is there"

Yeah, his tunes are amazing. Very funky stuff.
I also like the mastering.

Bonteburg · Post by **Bonteburg** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 8:38 pm

yeah funky, that's the word...
like a kick being replaced by a high beep at the beginning of a bar (instead of heralding the changes before), hits you dead in the face

has inspired my tunes a lot over the last 6 months or so too..

Yep. I like this combination of minimal and classic house.
As you are from Germany.. I´d call it "spielfreudig" as if he played
his sequencer like an instrument.

For this little glitchy type effects and sounds you must have ''vengeance minimal house'' you will find every sound trentemoller use in excelent quality!

If you get some *quality* monitoring, you'll hear just how superior Trentemoller's sounds are in terms of clarity and precision. And how far off samples from this CD (and similar) are.

That's a key difference in approach - someone as good as this will never use basic or commonly available samples, and often will make his own sounds from scratch. Producing a kick drum or clap or bleep on his Virus, for example, allows him to control the exact timbre and shape from the ground up, avoiding the distortion and corruption assocated with heavily processing an existing sample.

If you are going to use samples like those on the Vengeance CDs - you've usually got a lot of work to put in to every individual sound, in isolation, removing any trace of noise and unpleasant resonances. Then, you can start worrying about creating, refining and driving a groove along with intricate, delicate programming (i.e. sample reverses, loop point edits), subtle timing nuances (rather than block quantizes) and modulation of numerous timbral parameters (such as filter cutoff, amp release time and spot effects.) Finally, someone like Trentemoller is an example of what can be done through the use of (high end) FX, esp. reverbs, fitting the meticulously sourced, processed and programmed sounds together in a cavernous, 3D mix space.

Oh, and slow it all down - most of his album tracks are around 120 bpm, a good 5 bpm slower than you would expect from the genre.
