TechnoRaveGun

TechnoRaveGun combines digital low-tech and analog high-tech on a hardware and software level. Here the music's Tekkno elements, composition structures transformed from "contemporary" music, House grooves, ambient sounds and industrial noise-attacks, form the soundscape of this group. The sound impressions experienced at Techno events and raves builds the central aim of the sound. It is a diverse ambience in which the listener is constantly oscillating between the state of sit-still-and-listen to a I-wanna-dance kind of groove. 

TechnoRaveGun builds the bridge between rave-party and concert hall with high inlensity. The hardcore sound is performed with an original 70's organ, synthesizer, computer, VCF-modulated electric bass, sampler, winds, drum machines and live drums. The final touch comes from the melodie combination of traditional folk tunes with nervous cyber-city noise.
