02. Peter Steele & Christina Novelli - Moment In Time (Extended Mix)
Carpe Diem, tempus fugit, the fleeting nature of time and life’s impermanence are all music-and-message themes bound up in Peter Steele and Christina Novelli’s first studio gathering.
Over the last ten, Peter has established himself as a formidable producer, building a rep through his unstinting output on PTR, FSOE, Black Hole, Perfecto and GO Music. Through lyric, turntable and voice, Christina meanwhile has forged forward to become one of the acoustic and electronic voices of her generation. Together, that’s made ‘Moment In Time’ but a matter of time!
Echoing its title, ‘Moment In Time’s words advocate for a letting go of the past, and a resolution that ‘the present’ is all that truly matters. “Burn all the secrets we keep” sings Christina, while Peter picks out each lyrical line with piano notes and intuitively tracks each sentiment with his curling 303 and moving melodies.

[item value="10"] Peter Steele & Christina Novelli - Moment In Time[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]"Moment in Time" is not just any trance track; it is a meticulously produced masterpiece that showcases the technical prowess of its creators. The track's production process highlights the sophisticated use of digital audio workstations to blend various elements seamlessly. The initial foundation was likely laid using a selection of soft synths, carefully chosen to create the ethereal and atmospheric textures that define the track. The choice of sound design, particularly the lush pads and shimmering arpeggios, contributes significantly to the track's dreamy ambiance. Christina Novelli's vocal tracks were recorded with high-end microphones and preamps, ensuring clarity and capturing the emotive nuances in her voice. These vocals were then processed with subtle reverb and delay effects, which enhance the spatial quality of the mix without overpowering it. The rhythmic backbone of "Moment in Time" is constructed with precision. The basslines are both powerful and resonant, achieved through expert EQ and compression techniques to deliver that characteristic trance punch without overshadowing other elements. The kick drum, a critical component in trance, was refined using layering techniques, combining samples to create a kick that is both deep and sharp. Moreover, the track's arrangement demonstrates an understanding of dynamic flow, employing automation to enhance the build-ups and breakdowns, which are crucial for maintaining listener engagement. The sweeping filters and gradual crescendos guide the listener through an emotive journey, while the inclusion of Balearic elements adds a unique touch that differentiates it from conventional trance tracks. Mastering was likely done with a keen ear for detail, ensuring the final product is polished and balanced across all frequency ranges. Overall, "Moment in Time" stands out not just for its musicality, but also for its intricate production techniques that come together to create a pure, uplifting trance experience.#PureGold Love IT [/content]
