What is Progressive Trance?

Progressive trance is defined by its progressive structure, where elements of the song incrementally progress in & out, weaving together, with the power of 2 rule (see the Trance Overview page). Musically, the numbers of bars in a phrase can be any power of 2 (not just 4).

Almost always occurs the pattern 1) build-up, 2) breakdown, & 3) climax. Transitions & introductions of new elements can be very subtle, and often you don’t notice a new element until some bars after it always started; looking out for these subtle transitions can create suspense. Progressive trance is also sometimes intended as background music.

As Wikipedia says, "Subtle incremental/decremental acoustic variations (i.e., gradual addition/subtraction of instruments) anticipate the transition to each subsequent structural element of the track. The initial build-up and the final break-down are generally very similar, adding a feel of symmetry to the general structure of the melody."

To quote www.wikihow.com, "This subgenre defined the popular "build-up and breakdown" themes that are often associated with trance. By slowly building up a progression of melodies and creating a pseudo "tension", an outburst of emotional bliss results at the peak of the melody as it "releases". These releases are often done by creating a brief lull in the melody before quickly returning to the main theme. Other common techniques include pausing, using rests, rapidly speeding up the BPM, and using progressing kicks from quarter- to eighth- to sixteenth-, note kicks, and so on."

Progressive trance (which began in 1996) is often called just "progressive" because since 2000 progressive house and progressive trance have converged, although prog house remains darker & more minimal and prog trance more melodic and uplifting and richer in texture.
