This is what the french subs say for Ken Ishii: "It started in my childhood, when I was about 10. One day, at a friend's, I heard the band "Yellow Magic orchestra" that I didn't know at the time. It interested me because their sounds resembled those from video games. It is true that up until now, I have been influenced by the music from Detroit, but the history of techno is like that of the Internet.
Now, everyone can compose on their own, an infinity of music breaking always more into different genres, according to the personality of each composer. The whole world is going to be filled with different kinds of music, personal and pieced apart, that will always inspire even more. I am sure that new kinds of music will be born unceasingly from now on." You guessed right, Ken ! ;)
Part of what made the House and Techno and even Hip Hop for that matter so good in the late 80's & early ninties was the limitations of 80's production hardware. The classic example is the Analouge synth compared to VST but every aspect of production from limited sample times to the difference in writing a track with an old Atari or desk top sequencer just means the end result from a computer will never be the same as from the oldschool bedroom studios.
(Grafix man) Abdul Haqq's got a far-out imagination, a real sense of wonder, you can see his face light up as he's explaining his theories/science-fiction... awesome! LOL, gotta love it!
thanx for these clips! legend of detroit techno lives on. a pitty that most modern techno records suck big time. fuck the ed bangers, fuck the rest. Detroit techno 4 life!
Obviously the guys behind the hardware were the soul of the music that was comming out of it but there is no doubt that the technology being used at the time played an inherant role in the sound of the music that a laptop doesn't recreate. I wouldn't go as far to say that either method of produciton is better because they each have there benefits and downfalls but what I will say is that they are poles apart and the end result is effected hugely by this.
Someone suggested that a scale has 12 notes and that a 10 note scale is an aberration. That statement is inaccurate and misleading. Clarification was required. As stated, there are 12 notes in an equal tempered octave; those notes played in succession = a chromatic scale. Another example: pick a root note, travel to the same note an octave above, in an ascending sequence, through X number (2 being lowest and 12 the highest) of intermediary notes, how many paths exist? Each path is a scale.
educate yourself, there are thousands of scales, you can indeed have a 10 note scale; one with 12 notes is typically - in Western equal tempered music - a chromatic scale.
talking musical scales (unique interval structures) not who uses what in techno.You say "not even dozens" but with standard tunings and equal division of the octave alone the basic set includes all major and minor scales, ditonic, tritonic, tetratonic, pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic, octatonic,9 note, 10 note, 11 note, chromatic, diatonic, whole tone, diminshed, augmented, Phrygian dominant, modal, and various altered scales. And that's just for starters, and without the use of micro-tones.
Listen, I've been playing keyboard for about 25 years. First, "all major and minor scales" count as 2 not as 24 since they reproduce the exact same intervals. Of course, this applies to other scale modes too. Second, sure you can always create your own custom scales within an octave that wouldn't fit any of those you just copy/pasted. Yes, detune your keyboard and you will have millions of combinations using microtones. What's your point ?
techno is from detroit and house is from chicago...and techno is only techno and is from detroit you need to learn why they create the techno in detroit you need to knw all the story
MAn i was watching this video without sound for about 2-3 minutes (because i didnt had my speakers connected) and when i saw this Abdul guy i was like..there's something wacky in his face... his 100% saying some shit right now... 5 mins later .. play the video with sound DAMN ... :D

They should've interviewed mr. Mills. That man is one of the best in the electronic genre.
They wanted to but it didn't happen..
Indeed
Abdul Haqq is a legend!

amazing video I really wish blacks really need to start to appreciate our music history because we almost created every music genre there is possible.
