Most of the time we are performing around the world, or running our Trust in Trance label, or working in the studio. Actually that is the reason why Trust in Trance 3 that was released in Israel, turned into an artist's album, Astral Projection- Trust in Trance, around the world.Īre you still in touch with all these people? Does it interest you to work once again with some of your partners to the beginning of this trip? It took us three more compilations like that until we felt mature enough to release an Astral Projection album. There was nothing out there like that, we were on our own… there were no trance departments, as you can see today everywhere, in every store. The CD came out in a perfect timing for us. The market wasn't open enough yet for an artist's album, and basically all the groups on that CD, where the same people in different variations. In 1993 the first Trust in Trance was released as a compilation. Then came the moment when we decided to release a first Israeli trance CD in Israel. From hearing music, we proceeded to making it, we felt the urge to make something new, to create something we love without any compromise. Finishing a party in Tel-Aviv at noon, and by 2PM already on a plane going to some place in Europe to buy new records. We use to hand out in record stores abroad. We were always interested in what is going on outside the Israeli musical bubble. We were a group of people with our whole lives rotating around music. Looking at the names in Trust in Trance first compilation, it seems that there was a group of people here, most of them still around, that tried to do something new together- what can you tell us about these days in the beginning of the '90s with Guy Sebbag, Yaniv Haviv, Har-el Prusski? What were you feeling, thinking, than on this experimental music? Releasing it on a CD suddenly, and here in Israel of all places? It's the most heart-warming and moving thing… people like your music, wowwww… like what you believe in. We felt it in 1994 when invitations to play abroad started raining on us.
When did you first felt that "you made it"? That you succeeded with this music in which so few people believed? Another thing was the possibilities in instrumental music, which speaks for itself, without a leading singer. The possibilities are huge, opposing standard instruments, which basically stay with the same sound character. You program a sound from zero, and the sky is the limit. What was drawing us was the unlimited freedom a musician can reach through working in a midi studio with electronic equipment. So you can say we understood that we make trance, when this scene was actually born. In 1993 it was 'trance' and there it stayed. Names like 'acid house', 'techno', 'new beat', always paralleled our musical creation patterns. The name 'trance' arrived after many changes. We basically created a new line that didn't really exist around the world. It looks like the new CD is a kind of summary of your last decade, so I'm going to ask a few summary questions looking back at your at this period- When did you first realize that you make/play trance?Īctually, when we started playing together, back in '88, we were dealing with electronic music. Astral are Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter.
