In the vast ocean of sound, where monotony and formula have reigned for too long, a new wave of creation emerges-a rebellion against the ordinary and the predictable. We, the pioneers of minimalist techno, raise our voices and our machines to declare a new era of music. This is our manifesto, a call to all artists who seek to transcend boundaries and explore the unexplored.
1. Minimalism as Our Flag:
In a world saturated with noise and excess, we embrace the simplicity and purity of minimalism. Each beat, each sound must resonate with clarity and purpose, without unnecessary adornments. The essence of techno lies in its bare and authentic core.
2. No Concessions to Buildups:
We reject the repetitive formula of buildups. Our music is a continuous journey, a constant stream that needs no explosions to maintain its power. Subtle evolution and natural progression are our guides.
3. Dawless, the Soul of Authenticity:
Stripped of digital chains, we create music without DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations). We rely on the immediacy and authenticity of physical instruments. Our hands on the knobs, our hearts in every adjustment of synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers.
4. Half-Hour Sessions, the Duration of Trance:
We do not settle for the ephemeral. Our sessions are deep immersion rituals, lasting over thirty minutes. We invite the audience to lose themselves in the flow, to find trance in the duration, to experience something beyond time.
5. Live Improvisation, the Spark of Creation:
Creation is not a static act but a constant flow. We improvise live, allowing the music to form and transform in the moment. Spontaneity and instant connection with sound are our driving forces.
6. Use of Samples and Synthesizers, Pure Creation:
In our compositions, samples and synthesizers are our voices. There is no room for pre-existing songs; each sound is a building block in the construction of a new world. We play with textures, explore the limits of sound to create unique soundscapes.
This manifesto is a beacon, a guide for those seeking something beyond the conventional. It is an invitation to join the minimalist techno revolution, to challenge norms, to create with authenticity and passion. To all artists and creators, we say: join us on this epic journey. Together, we will forge a new sonic horizon, a symphony of minimalism and depth that will resonate through time.
Long live Minimalist Techno!
