Rhythmic, warm, and sample-driven, played live on the Maschine MK3.

IMPROVISED LIVE TECHNO
Psychedelic / Techno / Groove 
Berlin | Germany


If you love techno, you can't vote right. On a real techno floor, you can be free no matter who you are, if you respect the freedom of all others. Right politics stand for the opposite. if you want this culture to sustain, please get informed and stand up against this oppression.  
So FCK AFD! and be loud against all the populist, right-wing parties around the globe.  They promise you a better future, but history can teach you better. <3

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.
