What This Music Genre Needs Is.. Restraint
Today, we're embarking on an adventure of sonic exploration, using some of the most iconic hardware from Elektron: the Digitakt, Digitone, Syntakt, and Octatrack. This journey is not just about the destination - the creation of a track - but also about my personal challenge to master the minimalist ethos of techno: the principle that 'less is more'. As someone who typically gets swept away by the allure of complex melodies, the stripped-back nature of minimal techno has always been an enigma, a puzzle that I've long wanted to solve. In this video, you'll see my attempt at channeling restraint, focusing on simplicity over complexity, and discovering the depth that lies in subtlety. This is more than a step-by-step guide; it's an honest portrayal of my struggle and growth as a music producer. So, whether you're an experienced beatmaker, an aspiring artist, or just curious about the process of minimal techno creation, I hope you'll join me on this challenging, yet exciting, exploration of sound. → Get the Techno Performance Template for the Octatrack among all my other templates and sound designs from patreon.com/ezbot and here: https://ko-fi.com/s/49a309043c → Get the NEW Ultimate Octatrack FX Template w/ SHIK integration and the NEW Ultimate Performance Mixer 2FF here with continuous updates: https://www.patreon.com/ezbot and here if you want a one-time download: https://www.ko-fi.com/ezbot *** Step up your game with 1 on 1 lessons: https://www.ezbot.live/ → Get 10% Modbang cables with code: EZBOT23 → Get 10% off your first Modbang Riser with code: RISER23 Check out my shop here: https://www.modbang.com/modbang-shop Buying gear via these links will award me a small commission at no extra cost to you, this is how the channel stays alive.
