1995 - TECHNO: Psycho-Social Tumult (Remix) - TechNet

Texto

nobody knows where you’re at... We could begin anywhere. A history of techno would be too obvious and would imply that the creative phase was over. Any at- tempts at a genealogy, a hierarchical archeology, or a precise pinpointing of musicians prohibit an un- derstanding of the simultaneity of multiple codes, the overlappings between styles and forms. Techno cannot be allotted a place as either pop or an avant-garde music - on the whole it doesn’t take refuge in art and slips away from categorisation as the net of naming is unfurled. It avoids the discipline of nostalgia which keeps people in the thrall of the past, unable to even think of the future but always referring back. Nos- talgia is a language of lack, a language that fills people with longings for a past that never happened, a present that never comes, for the gift that never arrives.
