What is Techno ? That is Techno! ! If, as documented in the quote from Jeff Mills in the first chapter , Techno supposed to be a music that you can not imagine , then this refers not to a unverstehbare music, but on sounds that music listeners appear to the ( Pop ) strange and new . Techno surprised especially in the early years of its existence with unusual sounds and sound combinations. In the media communication was desperately looking for a handy term repertoire for the appearance of Techno - colorful jumbled up was the use of techno concept for a socio-cultural and musical phenomenon . Only from an internal perspective , the appropriate scene for the music classifications of Techno shelled out : House, Acid , Techno, Gabber / Hardcore , Trance and Ambient formed by the end of the 90s the pillars and electronically produced computer-based club music. Now established not only in the scientific debate is , at the beginning of the 21st century , the distinction between techno and house as a fixed size that is seen in purely musical also essential. Techno is taken as entertainment music classifiable as any other underground music genre also basically . Almost two decades possessed this music hardly song-like structures , but consisted of extensive juxtapositions of different sound schemes with repetitive character. Technos very first getting used to , ie machine- tale village or frequency-modulated sounds have long been recognized already by the pop music or commercial music industry. Nevertheless, there is not to be underestimated one , not the advertising of any factor of recognition (there are veritable techno anthems , especially for Love Parade or Mayday or even quite normal chart classics like LFO LFO or Plastic Dreams by Jaydee ) . Until recently, Techno was speechless - and if so language was present, this was mainly composed of sampled voices from fragments of a language. Techno is a trance music that is consistently generated by technological means . Sequencers , synthesizers , samplers , drum machines and computers are the producers . Comparable to the emergence of other music is also subject to a techno - creative creative creative process , only the ejection quantitatively assess higher due to the direct and comprehensive storage methods and the endless appears sound stock . Techno is fast food - almost music that corresponds to a fast paced , copies a mechanized environment. Nevertheless, some tracks get stuck . They are sometimes remixed , in part , be copied , quoted, sampled , and so precisely , this new musical form of the remix Techno has brought forth , it has become common practice of popular music. Sampling , that is, here the musical citation without legal consequences , represents a further achievement technologically produced club music dar. Unlike the conventional pop music are usually represented at Techno artist, author and producer of techno product from a person or group. In addition, has established itself by a new techno musician profile - this is not because the musicians only rotate knobs from the ground , but because it often presents as a DJ at the same time his music on the dance floor . In this context, it is again a look at the aesthetics of reception throw : DJs and techno -makers are in the first place always as a listener . Your music lives on the listening experiences that make them on the dancefloor . Under the cultural aspect Techno is a caused by the synergy between man and machine cultural practice of Trance Dance ritual : that , in practice, from techno now the movement, ie the dance music from the machine or the machine music developed from the movement , at least gives the adoption of a strong interaction between music ( and, consequently, DJs , producers, live musicians , etc.) and suspect dancers. Techno therefore implies a change in the forms of communication , in which young people of physicality attach a much larger role than before . Against this background, Techno can be seen as a new youth cultural movement that instead of the usual clubs and organizations to get involved, on purely voluntary -based , commercial experience opportunities turning . The extent to which aesthetic practice signals a change of the political, can not and will not judge the present work , this important , sociologically oriented aspect but goes far beyond the scope of a music-theoretical consideration. Techno is particularly from the perspective of techno - maker of the first hour, a future -music , a music of the future , which is to exert social influence in different ways. In the thesis of overcoming the criticism of techno musicians social development processes such as fast-paced , performance or time pressure or solidification follows at least from a philosophical perspective , the affirmative presumption that techno can initiate a return of man to himself in the wake of his musical structures and so achieved partially overcoming always faster and faster and hardly to be processed social development processes : this refers to the seemingly endless river of sound , the dancing can sink into itself . Generally speaking , musical techno is comparable to adhere with a trance music , the typical characteristics such as repetitive character, gradually increasing the intensity of intensified use after abrupt pause , extreme stability , long life , simple shapes and minimalist changes . Especially with techno events or clubs created by the practice of constant background and overlaying multiple mixing techno tracks at almost an infinite river of sound , which is increased by repeatedly made by the DJs minor interruptions and intensified the debate . ( Here, perhaps stirred the very beginning of the techno boom conveyed by the media image of sweating , in Stroboskopgewitter to whipping snares twitching bodies forth ) . However, it is abundantly clear by the discourse that the stimulus , the techno mind , entirely justified in the Sound is : Due to the loss of several well-known from the pop sounds sparked until the mid- 90s, a discussion of the so-called strangeness in the techno music. This applies similarly to the new music , the sound : It occurs as a constituent element of a relationship with techno. Whatever may be meant by noise , see techno - lovers , especially in the past beyond consonance and dissonance sounds the element that guarantees the dissolved and uninhibited enjoyment of techno. The Non - Beautiful in techno club music is to accent the increase of beauty. The new sound is due to the highly technical production environment of computers , sequencers , synthesizers and samplers : Techno same technology as the techno - naming says. In the creative process techno is subjected on the one hand functional and rational , on the other hand unconscious principles that determine the align musicians from the outset first sound ideas. Conscious , indirect rules such as the functionality of the dance and tactility process the musicians in a very organized process while unconscious rules as the inclusion of the listener s knowledge and very personal preferences draw a more intuitive approach by itself . The musical productivity or the musical product therefore depends on various reference systems from whose compositional rules can vary widely : For House other laws as for techno, gabber , trance , ambient apply . Nevertheless peels in search of musical characteristics of the large number of publications and expert opinions Techno out as a distinct genre with generally typical music - characteristic components . Thus, Techno is a based on the four -four time , produced electronically , repetitive dance music whose sound diversity is , on the other hand, in one hand by new ( machine-like , frequency-modulated ) sounds in the rhythm section by repetitive and bass oriented rhythms. This description alone may not be enough different currents crystallize while listening already figured out that set various display and analysis methods such as MIDI file , spectral, or transcription pictures open. The techno club practice illustrates the need for further , more detailed differentiation of techno music in different categories : there are clubs with several dance floors that are sonicated of DJs with different techno - currents - often it is house and techno and ambient for the Chill -out area that determine the atmosphere in the individual rooms . Frequently there are clubs that are polarized from the outset on a techno direction. The analyzes of the individual tracks from Antisept and Nikolai already show how musically diverse can turn a subsumed under the heading of each Techno Music: So there is not only the Techno, but different kinds of techno. Why is it ever needs at the flood of mixed forms of technologically produced music major categories is a question that can be asked about the diversity of electronic music products , but solely and scene internally undertaken solely from the back in the early 90s categorizations finds an answer . Can from the flood of positions at all a uniform picture of techno as a generic term and individual category the same result ? The answer is yes. Although long pass many new genera electronically produced music entertainment on the market continues to develop and styles have changed to the song sticking out forms of techno , yet it is clear that the present investigation does not have to lose their relevance . Because the methods of approach to electronic and computerized produced club music are perfectly applicable to other genres . The key is , inter alia, the general principle of electronic popular music , the place , the analyzes open : technology + creative + Objective saved typical rhythms and sounds + standardized procedures + sound layering and stringing . For Techno means that sequencer , synth , sampler , mixer, 808 , 909 (and sometimes 303) + Dance or palpability of the music + four-to - the-floor beat with ever-present bass drum + innovative , sometimes noise-like sounds : All in small repetitive sound pattern This stacked and strung together results in techno. The individual categories as well as their name have different causes: historical context ( House by the Warehouse in Chicago) , production condition ( Techno after his technological environment ) , medial- grip placement ( here in particular trance ) play a role. The typical characteristics for the individual characteristics described in the scene always make a unique intersection of musical similarities. To check and make understandable, was undertaken not only by the analytical sketches of typical techno - schemes , but rather by the practical , formed under fairly typical production conditions reassembly of the analyzed material, ie the tonal elementary individual techno facets to time-compressed tracks ..... ! !
