Introduction (music)

In music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece, preceding the theme or lyrics. In popular music this is often abbreviated as intro. The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic material related to the main body of a piece.

Introductions may consist of an ostinato that is used in the following music, an important chord or progression that establishes the tonality and groove for the following music, or they may be important but disguised or out-of-context motivic or thematic material. As such the introduction may be the first statement of primary or other important material, may be related to but different from the primary or other important material, or may bear little relation to any other material.

A common introduction to a rubato ballad is a dominant seventh chord with fermata, Play  an introduction that works for many songs is the last four or eight measures of the song, Play  while a common introduction to the twelve-bar blues is a single chorus. Play 

T99

T99 was a Belgian techno band, best known for their rave anthem, "Anasthasia", which reached #14 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1991.

T99 was initially Patrick de Meyer, who released three solo works under this pseudonym. However, he heard Olivier Abbeloos (also of Quadrophonia) working on the track "Anasthasia", and suggested that Abbeloos release it as T99.

From then on T99 was a duo, made up of de Meyer and Abbeloos. They experienced brief success with "Anasthasia" and the follow-up, "Nocturne". Their only album release, Children of Chaos, contained seventeen tracks which varied from hardcore techno to ambient techno, along with an odd spoken-word performance art piece. Their sound was sampled in tracks by 2 Unlimited and Kylie Minogue.

"Anasthasia" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1999 film, Human Traffic.

De Meyer later went on write material for Technotronic and 2 Unlimited, Olivier Abbeloos started his own label Holographic.
