No (much) words needed… 40 Jahre Hammahalle und dieses Opening war intensiv! Danke für all das ehrliche, liebe Feedback in den letzten Tagen. Die Nacht bleibt mir lange hängen, es war einfach eine dieser Nächte, die man noch Tage später im Körper spürt…

Schön, dass ihr da wart und mich so getragen habt.

IMPROVISED LIVE TECHNO
Psychedelic / Techno / Groove

Do you love techno?
Then take a stand for democracy.

The techno scene is built by and for people who choose freedom: be who you are, decide what you do, and think for yourself, while always respecting others’ boundaries.

Anti-democratic politics reject exactly that. Free people can’t be controlled.
Anyone who has ever felt that freedom — even just for a few hours on the dance floor — knows it’s worth protecting. 

By standing up for democracy, techno music, clubs and festivals can sustain. Techno lives on the dance floor!

This isn’t about followers, hype, hits, or fame. Techno music is one part of a larger system we call club culture — a place where people come together with respect, without violence, and in real communication.

Let’s choose democracy over fear! This is our planet too!

FCK AFD!

My approach to my music: 
I love loopy and trippy techno. When dancing, I like to let go of everything around me and enter a deeper dialogue with myself. At this stage, I am 100% in tune with myself. This works for me when the groove drives me and the elements I hear are interesting but not too intrusive. That’s exactly what I love to create on the dance floor.

To achieve this—and to create the necessary element of surprise—I combine different loops randomly and blindly. Since I never know exactly what will happen, I am constantly surprised and inspired by the result.

If you want to see how it works check out my youtube channel. www.youtube.com/@KenjiTanaka_Official




My instruments:
-Drums (TR8S)
-Bass (Modular)
-Rumble Bass (TR8S)
-Atmos (Fieldrecorder, Drumrack, Ableton)
-Synth 1 (MicroMonsta 2)
-Synth 2 (Polysix VST, Ableton)
-Vocal Samples (Ableton)
-Misc Samples (TR8S)


More nerdy Information:
For each of these instruments, I have prepared about 30 different loops, most of them 1 bar long.
Using the Streamdeck and a self-built ‘Max for Live Tool’, I can select a completely random loop for each instrument with the push of a button. The tonality can be set. To make sure it’s not completely random, I can choose between different categories, such as chords/arpeggiator.
I can control the complexity of the loop using controls.

All instruments run through Ableton (RME Fireface UCXii). With the help of ‘Launchcontrol’ and 2x ‘Midifighter Twister’, I can control all the parameters that are important to me. Filters, reverb, random delay and pitch effects glue everything together.

When playing, I rely on my intuition. I can sense what should happen 2-4 bars in advance. If I feel like I want to hear a new chord pattern, I press a button and let myself be surprised. If I like it, I develop it further. If I don’t like it, I move on.

Since the whole structure is improvised, I am correspondingly excited before the gigs. Because almost nothing can be planned in advance. My biggest clue is whether I dance. If I get myself to move and get lost, I am happy with what happens.
