In this tutorial, I’ll show you my exact process for writing catchy Trance melodies that grab attention, evolve naturally, and keep the listener engaged from start to finish — all without needing deep music theory knowledge. You’ll see how I approach writing 7 x different melodies from scratch, focusing on the feel and movement rather than complicated scales or chord progressions. I’ll walk you through how to write a strong hook, then show you how to keep it interesting with subtle variations, clever note choices, and ways to evolve the melody over time so it never becomes boring or predictable. These are the same methods I use in my own productions and with clients who’ve gone on to sign tracks to their favourite labels. Whether you’re struggling to start a melody or can’t seem to make it sound “catchy enough,” this tutorial will give you a practical framework and proven techniques to finally write melodies that stand out. Get ready to simplify your workflow, stop second-guessing yourself, and start writing Trance melodies that truly stick! The Catchy Trance Melody Writing Tutorial covers: ⬤ How I approach melody writing from scratch ⬤ Why the first bar can make or break your melody ⬤ How to spot “hidden” patterns that make melodies more addictive ⬤ Clever tricks to alter your hooks without losing their catchiness ⬤ How to use unrelated midi patterns to make melodies ⬤ What I focus on instead of music theory when writing melodies ⬤ Subtle ways to change the mood of your melody while keeping the hook alive ⬤ How I decide which notes to change (and which to leave alone) when evolving a hook ⬤ How to change up the “copy and paste” sound that kills emotion in melodies ⬤ Tricks for making repeated melodies feel like they’re progressing ⬤ The small tweaks that can completely change how a melody feels ⬤ How to create movement and tension without changing too many notes ⬤ The exact thought process behind writing a catchy melody ⬤ How to make melodies from a 1 bar pattern ⬤ Creating changes in your progressions ⬤ My thought process around the catchy parts of a melody + more!

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
