So, I've just picked up the djembe, and I've also begun producing techno. My counter - part on the techo project is a friend of mine who just happened to own the ableton suite a midi controller, a drum pad and the APC 40 itself. The purpose of this post is twofold: I want to describe the sound i'm going for, and list some of the bands that form our core influence, and then ask yall if you think I should add anything else in to the pot, or remove elements.
Adjectives of our techno sound:
recursion and reversal
alieotoria
dissonent
ambient

Bands that infuence our sound.

Any Ideas? I'll upload my song once I trim it down to an acceptible size. But I'm anxious to hear yalls take on it.... in other words, what would be your favorite sound and how that might turn out.
Rush? I dont know many people wh0 are into Rush. +1
Rush- absolutely my least favorite band.
