What genre of music were you playing? (Does sound very interesting)

I think the future of experimentation is possibley less in sound & will probley be more in the actual club 'experience' & visuals tbh. As you say, most of the kit in clubs is ussually knackered & may hold back experimentation. A few times I've played out I've had to hold back my mixing style a bit due to crappy mixers & badley set up soundsystems.

A lot of lasers & lighting rigs work with mics so you can get the odd tune that makes some mad effects.

I used a form of Gematria to convert ritual passages from the Goetia and some other occult ritual books into number sequences and then used these sequences to generate chord progressions, note order, rhythm patterns and "melodies". I tried to use sounds I didn`t like or wouldn`t normally use in the process as well.
Fairly pretensious, it polarised opinions, but I learned a lot in the process.

But if Beyer went from Grungy tunes to more polished minimal styles...isn't that experimental to him?

Techno should sound like what you haven't imagined yet.
