trance originated in india?

Answer 1

You mean music trance? Goa trance (often referred as Goa or by the number 604) is a form of electronic music and is a style of trance music. It originated in the Indian state of Goa, which is distinctive as most forms of trance music developed in Europe.

Goa trance is closely related to the emergence of psychedelic trance during the latter half of the 1990s; However, the distinction between the two genres is largely a matter of opinion (and they are considered by some to be synonymous). These two are, however, sonically distinct from other forms of trance, largely by the unique sounds they use. Culturally, they are generally more underground and less commercial than other forms of trance. The goa sound is more likely to be heard at outdoor parties and festivals than in clubs and places like Ibiza.

Goa is essentially "dance-trance" music (it was referred to as "Trance Dance" in its formative years), and as such has an energetic beat, almost always in 4/4 and often going into 16th or 32nd notes, especially for the pumping basslines. It is also noted for switching to a 1,2/8 beat with the same tempo during some parts of the song. A typical track will generally build up to a much more energetic movement in the second half, and then taper off fairly quickly toward the end. Generally 8-12 minutes long, Goa tracks usually have a noticeably stronger bassline than other trance music and incorporate more organic "squelchy" sounds (sounds put through a resonance filter, thought to sound especially good on psychedelic drugs, the most famous of these being generated by the TB-303).
