What is Techno? To me its industrial, its synthetic, its made by human kind. Its not organic, it doesn't stem from nature. Its machinery, its heavy, its steel work and factories. Its cold, unforgiving and unyielding. It is Techno. It is it's own thing, and will not be redefined.
I wanted to take a photo of my idealistic Techno record cover photo. So I was walking through an industrial part of London, and as flippant as it was to say "oh there's some steelworked girders, better turn that black and white and you've got a Techno record cover photo", I think I've hit the nail on the proverbial head!
This photo perfectly describes what Techno is to me. And whatever noun enters your head about this photo, you could even tag to even the most minimal of Techno music. By themselves, these girders ARE minimal techno. The girders are the very minimum a structure needs to stand, the bare bones of industry, much like minimal Techno can just be the bare bones of textures and timbres.
So I present to you, my visual representation of Techno Music.
