I just make lots of music that isn`t techno, and listen to lots of stuff. I keep learning loads, and I constantly have fresh ideas.
I don`t try to make tehcno any more.
I just make what I make, and sometimes it techno, if not, I don`t care, I carry on with whatever it is and let it live it`s own life.
Sometimes I`ll be making something, and try to incorporate the same feelings and power of techno, but I never try to force anything any more.
Equipment be damned too, a bad workman blames his tools, it all comes from the creative mind, all you need to do is freshen your mind with new ideas, and maybe kill some old preconceptions about the format techno should take.
Too many people sit down and try to make techno. The process of trying to make techno instantly loads you with preconceptions, if you just try to make music that you can dance too, the techno attitude will come through if it`s in you.
Even worse, too many people sit down, and every tune they make they think of as a release.
Man, more often than not I just make music for the sake of it. For the fun of it. The process of raw creation, no expectations, just grab an emotion and run with it.
Damn I`m pretencious.
Where`s my beret?
