I would like to mainly focus on the music that will be a soundtracks for my work is going to be about. I will start with a song, haven’t chosen what will it be yet, but a piece from the early times of Detroit techno, maybe something by Drexciya or Underground resistance.
I have to decide the order of the music and how to mix it together into the collage of interviews, talks, excerpts from movies and my own voice. Maybe I will use a speech generator? I haven’t decided yet. Do I quote in audio paper or shall I leave it for the script? Those few questions still need to be answered at this point.
I would like everyone, even those who are “not into it”, feel the power of electronic music and its potential for catalysing social change. I will try to achieve this by choosing the right tracks and creating a story out of different people’s voices. I feel like its very important to include the historical and socioeconomic cross-sections to help the audience approach this topic. This leads to uderstanding the common ground of all the minorities that found the refuge and grew out of ashes thanks to the underground resistance of techno culture.
Current affairs are fertile soil for this culture to grow – discrimination, racism and xenophobia to name a few are spread all around the world. Its ambiguity reflects in being the resistance movement of oppressed minorities but also a lucrative white-dominated business almost entirely deprived of its core values and roots.
