So the past few days I was reading a little about what we heard about so honestly today in class. But I still wonder, even after listening today, what exactly are some elements that are true to Detroit Techno, specifically from the Belleville three and their immediate followers?
I think it would be quite unique to best find some of those elements, musically, conceptually, or even technically, and find ways to "re perform" or re make those strong foundational sounds, ideas, or elements of the original Detroit Techno.
Something that pays respect to Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson's work, but in a way that might have been only achievable today.
I dont necessarily think the performance needs to be restricted in any way, but I wonder if there could be many "quotes" in our work could represent the true, original, belleville three and pioneering Detroit Techno artists.
As I alluded to a bit in class, I find the reveal of the process of developing a great product more rewarding than the finished product itself. Now, its not rewarding without the understanding and appreciation to the final product, but I think that isnt an issue. Finding a cool or unique way to perform this music might be in the way we display the production of the composition. I find the concept similar to people who incorporate live recorded loop based music. (but without that actual idea because thats not what im interested in specifically)
there are my initial thoughts, more to come.
PS: Look up jitting. Yes. its cool.
