Secrecy

Exposure of techno don't worry me. I just wish I could feel more elitist for being into it still :lol:

Ableton

If DJ's aren't using this they're backward.

Loops

Are a great way to pay tribute to past work with your spin on top of them. I love taking a loop from something completely unrelated to techno and minipulating it until it is. Propperly aranged loop based dance music (stuff that's bounced into individule tracks, then edited in ACID or an equivelent application) can allow the artist to more freely manipulate and filter segments. I like to arrange stuff with looping in mind so after recording reverb tails etc. I can then move directly on to the second and third stage of production i.e. edits & mastering.

Death

sucks.

Emotion

is something sorely lacking in allot of techno. Why can't more producers think a little bit more allong the lines of Technasia or UR for a second? I listen to music to create an emotional responce within myself to the sounds I'm hearing, if it's only effecting me on a psycological level by phucking with my head and an intellectual level by giving me concepts to think about then it's not quite as satisfying.

Techno

is a sate of mind.


A very happy new year everybody!
