Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous — Yehudi Menuhin Where vibrations and pure energy collide to create emotions; music unleashes a certain level of insanity in all.Music has definitely been one of the most instrumental factors in the development of civilisation and mankind in general.Establishing a connection with different entities; this elegant expression of joy, fury and anguish has indeed evolved over the years.Nurturing souls with varied symphony, electronic dance music has reached new heights in India today.With hordes of artistes striving to explore and experiment with innovative sounds; music in India has transcended all boundaries today.Evoking massive electronic mayhem, Submerge’s Sunburn Festival 2010 brought down some insane music legends to the sandy beaches of Goa.And needless to say, our tryst with music inclined us towards exploring Ferry Corsten’s sounds.“It is all about the melodies for me.It always was and always will be,” said Ferry Corsten in his interview with us last year.Having emerged as one of the most versatile DJs in the world; the Dutch trance producer has managed to captivate the imagination of dance music fans around the world.The music pioneer’s productions and DJ sets combine trance, house and electro.So, it comes as no surprise that the trance guru wished to embark on a sonorous journey with the music capital of India.Ferry has made waves with his weekly interactive radio show Corsten’s Countdown in the city of Bangalore too.“Bangalore is probably one of the most educated and knowledgeable city in the whole of India, especially when it comes to music.Besides being my daily guide to Bangalore’s latest gigs, City Express in fact has been instrumental in putting us in touch with one of the world’s top DJs, Ferry Corsten, whose show is now well appreciated by all Radio Indigo fans.I don’t know any other place in the country where lies so much opportunity for avant garde music genres.Besides this, I believe media plays a vital role too.I cannot imagine any other city where there is so much new music happening and that too very successfully.I think City Express has played an important role in people’s lives, especially for the quintessential Bangalorean.From civic issues to cultural festivals, nightlife to music on radio, it has space for all,” said Trigam Mukherjee, senior assosiate, Jupiter Capital.Altering musical styles from time to time, Corsten has pushed all barriers with his music.And, in the myriad combinations of tones, textures and melodies lay unity and purity.After all, music instills in us the hope for emergence and the passion of ecstasy.
