Sunday Synth Jam: Synthesist Hainbach shared this live performance, Restoration.
Here’s what he shared about the technical details:
“I realize I am obsessed with the tone of old recording equipment such as tape and wire recorders, because it adds a feeling of “realness”: instruments or voices sound like news broadcasts, interrogation room recordings or nature documentaries. It is like moving things into a past they never had, creating something new in the process.
The MN61 wire recorder adds that sound to the main Juno60 line here, as well as other instruments.”
Hainbach is a man deeply in love with electronic sound. This rapture of his always comes through in his videos and music, that I never find boring because his cyborganic meld with the machine interfaces an abundance of human affect and emotive responsiveness to sounds in the process of creation.

@Hainbach
Realness of Techno was Not in instruments.
Realness of Detroit Techno was to try to speak to oppressed poor youths in ghettos, hoods.
It was also much more then “trying to speak to oppressed poor youths”, it transcended earthly boundaries, where it doesn’t matter who or what you think you are.
@Pneuma true.
Alleys of your Mind 1981 by 19year Juan Atkins and Richard Davis the First Detroit Techno*
lyrics were aimed to lift poeple, transcend as you say
“Go cry from barren land, Lost without a chance,
Go fight it till it see, Don’t tell what you see.
Alleys of your mind, Paranoia right behind.
Stars will hear calls your mind,
There’s a beast ‘hind your dreams,
Pop your mind at the seams,
Take your fate in your hands.”
*Sharevari 1981 by A Number of Names by Paul Lesley and Sterling Jones was also first Detroit Techno.
You realise there was techno outside of the US too right?
and before the US too
Americans seem to love taking the credit for everything
The roots of techno, are deeply rooted in European electronic music, among other things
There were just as many proto-techno bands and groups in Europe as in the US

@Eoin I posted on another synthtopia article
“Very much Tom & Dick tracks from 1956 and 1959
The Ray Makers, Visitor from Inner Space, Syncopation, Vibration, Mechanical Motions.
Yep these are the tracks that totally influenced Kraftwerk.”
A form of Techno (as there are many variations on Techno)
is found on
1959 Tom Dissevelt and Dick Raaijmakeers tracks Syncopation, Vibration;
1969 Michael Czajkowski : People the Sky album;
1969 Cecil Leuter, Nino Nardini tracks Rhythm in Rock, Crocker Beat on their Pop Electronique album.
The Difference with Detroit Techno as we have already mentioned
Detroit Techno tried to uplift people from the poverty surrounding them
uplift people from their own personal prisons so that they could transcend.

These Totally influenced Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk borrowed from them ie coped them on their Von Himmel Von Hoch track in 1970.

Techno is, like any music, what you make of it. I personally found this track repetative and just kind of “blaw” but, that’s because it didn’t speak to me much, it’s just not my style. Give me a hard-pounding, with rich layers of growling, throbbing, pulsating electronic sounds industrial track, I’m there. But that’s because that’s what moves me.

take the wire recorder out of it and it is double meh
