Techno yes or no ?

Why Techno music is so difficult to be accepted by so many people even by so many musicians ?
Why does it seem to frighten so many people?
This is a question that i would like to discuss to try to understand reasons of a fact which seems to me very strange .

Why has the R'n'R frightened so many people?
And jazz music too?
First of all 'cause it's new.
Second IOHO it has a "mystical" or "spiritual" side that always frightens.
Where do the sounds come from? Strange blinking boxes, the sound finds its magical origins..the drum of the shaman...
How do I listen to techno? I cannot sing it along, there's no refrain: I do have to listen to it, sit down (or stand up & dance) and let the sounds take me for a trip..
...rhytmical patterns that mesmerize (sufism?), textures that blow my mind away (mystical experience?)
So that I do _listen_ to music and let the music communicate me emotions and so on..
And that's dangerous 'cause when I listen to it i feel and think about ...
..u all know that thinking and feeling is hard and dangerous, isn't it?

In italy the music trends arrives with 5 or more years of delay, despite of the rest of europe. So, it's the same story with techno.
In the UK it has become popular music (EMF, ORB, Orbital, Underworld has reached the no.1 in the UK charts many times).
Italian music is frozen on the same genres: italians seems to be afraid of the new musical trends. But I think it's a problem of audience.
Medias (TV, Radio, Musical Press) put the same records and talk about the same shit everyday (so if you are a musician and you don't play the same Sanremo stuff you have no chance to have an audience. And no audience for new stuff means no change of perspective in the musical tastes of the audience itself).

Only two generations ago, we were a relatively frugal people, living within our means. Today we are the "North American pig" -- bloated with excess, heavily in debt and out-pigging everyone else in sight.
Overconsumption is just the most obvious symptom of a larger sickness; our culture is so empty that it needs to stuff itself to feel full.
But sneaking up behind it is the culture jammer, and she's got a pin sharp enough to pop the whole deal...

TECHNO: Ci penso un po' e poi forse mi verrā qualcosa, comunque alla parola Techno viene associata un certo tipo di musica creata con strumenti che funzionano con l'energia elettrica e che vengono usati da persone con una certa attitudine a girare e a toccare superfici plastico metalliche di varie forme: cilindriche o poliedriche che scorrono su dei "binari" o girano su un perno a corsa definita o infinita e che permettono all'energia elettrica di fluire all'interno dei circuiti con varie intensitā.
Non č semplice ma non č nemmeno difficile fare musica con questo tipo di strumenti, ci vuole tanto tempo per tirare fuori qualcosa di buono, e questo ve lo posso garantire e tornando alla questione, "MA COSA VUOL DIRE TECHNO?" posso dire che una spiegazione razionale al dilemma la pur solamente dare chi ha inventato questo termine e forse i pochi babbei che ci si sono identificati producendo chilometri di nastri magnetici registrati digitalmente pieni di sequenze generate da strumenti elettronici presettati o da campionatori colmi di suoni presi da dischi dei KRAFTWERK, THROBBING GRISTLE, DEPECHE MODE, POWER STATION, PANKOW, LED ZEPPELIN e RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE.
Questa decennale parentesi che ha dato un grande apporto alla putrefazione della musica elettronica stā, per fortuna, finendo.
Le ultime pugnalate le hanno affondate gli americani con le loro chitarre e distorsioni: ministry, nin, revolting cocks...
Dopo tutto questo scempio, il buon senso stā riprendendo il sopravvento, l'elettricitā stā scorrendo nuovamente dal cervello lungo la spina dorsale da dove esplode in tutti gli organi che la circondano, anche nel cuore!!!
Non saprei dire di preciso ma penso che i PANASONIC nella loro semplice e inconsistente esistenza musicale sono i figli dei CLUSTER, RALF & FLORIAN, SCHNITZLER e TITCHENS, (probabilmente non li conoscono nemmeno...) e stanno facendo la rivoluzione!
Non sono un gran chč, ma sono immensi proprio per questo!
Scusate l'italiano ma č la mia lingua, non č molto "techno" ma se non vi piace questa minestra saltate giu dalla finestra!

The last message was in Italian and i think i must explain why we decided to publish it exactly how we received.
The author is a musician ,founder of a very important italian group called PANKOW.
In these days is making a Tour with the group in Germany ,where they are well known .
The message he sent to Forum is a sort of analysis of electronic music in these last ten years ,but it seems to me that it is something more .
He points out aspects of musical research that i think are very important.
One over all :at a certain point of the letter he says :
" these last ten years have given a big contribution to the putrefaction of the electronic music,but luckily they are ending .
The last stabs have been given by the Americans ,with their guitars and distortions: ministry ,nin, revolting cocks....
After all this slaughter ,the common sense seems to prevail ,electricity is once more flowing from brain through spine exploding in all organs including heart !!! "
In these words i see a sort of contraddiction.Guitars and other forms of distortions aren't a form of expression who take electronic music nearer...........to heart?
Or all this is a false problem ? ; when your music comes from all your " organs " it doesn't matter which way of expression or which kind of instruments you use .

Concordo pienamente con FM.... anche se lui possa pensare che io abbia una mentalita' diversa, ma il tempo passa ed i gusti cambiano....
Non credo proprio che un gruppo come i Panasonic possa essere definito "techno". Anche perche', secondo me, come "techno" si classifica comunemente la musica "danzereccia", che e' ormai al pari del ballo liscio (non per nulla molte orchestre di tale tipo di musica oramai mettono piu' musica commerciale che liscio vero e proprio).
IMHO, come direbbero gli americani, stiamo tornando a rivivere, non solo musicalmente, quel grande periodo che sono stati gli anni della "sperimentazione", in tutte le sue forme.
Io, che (non so dire se in bene o in male) in quel periodo dovevo essere ancora "pensato", ho piacere che questo movimento riaccada.

I don't think that "experimentation" is a new trend of those recent days.
Experimental music has always been existed through those years.
What has changed are the instruments.
The digital samplers (but, before that, the Brian Eno's tapeloops) started a musical revolution in the way of making music.
Vintage analogue instruments has also made the job.
An analogue instrument does not ever play the same timbre.
I think that the future of techno is in generative music (see Sseyo Koan Pro as an example):
instead of a fixed score, where you have to play certain notes at a certain time, you have a set of rules.
Depending on how you fix those rules you will be able to make music that never sound the same.
It's someway between a record, with its fixed music, and a live gig. But it's portable (you can play generative music in your home).

The big hole (especially in italy) to fill is the existing gap between rock (with acoustic instruments) and techno.
We could talk about it.
