Just an uplifting trance track I started writing around 2-3 days ago. Will hopefully finish this later. An experiment on writing a melody in strict pentatonic scales.

Anyway, just taking an opportunity to ramble a bit... On Fur Affinity, I'm probably one of very few electronic artists who took trance music very seriously. I'm still a little hurt with one of the comments on Twitter I received last year. About the fact that my trance music quality is still "subpar", hence why no DJs would want to include my tracks on their sets yet. I was so angry, I wrote strings upon strings of tweets ranting about the fact that I write trance music not to make money or try to compete against those tranceheads out there, but out of a genuine love for trance music and generally to entertain my fans who also happen to be trance music listeners.

This is pretty much one of the reasons why I decided that I won't seek out to be signed to an electronic record label. I chose to remain unsigned, because I strongly believe that everyone has the right to write music the way they see fit and how they can reach their audience through their own music, not being restricted to what the record companies demand.

On to this track itself... Originally, I was thinking of calling this track "Asian Crisis" or even "Krisis". The pentatonic scale is often stereotyped as Asian-sounding, due to being extremely common in Chinese music and is a common feature of many Asian music. Eventually, I picked "Tenggara". "Tenggara" is the Malay and Indonesian word for "southeast". Actually, I even thought of calling it "Asia Tenggara", the Malay name of Southeast Asia, where I live.
