First Techno (Kraftwerk 1970)

"A lot of creative work is remixes" in no way conflicts with "That's pretty low-value creativity." Hiphop made using samples a fashion . You can think of it as choosing to restrict one's in order to explore something deeper, like a painter deciding to paint with only two pigments to exercise their skills at shading at patterning. Or you can think of it as a cheap way to make demo tracks in your bedroom. If you want to find actually creative things, look outside of mainstream, Disney, etc. I'll leave you with this link. You tell me if you think it is just a remix of something earlier: ▶ this video

Techno was started in Düsseldorf by Kraftwerk. ▶ this video People found this very inspiring and created their own variants. The Detroit variant came along. The Chicago variant came along. The UK variant came along. But it all goes back to Kraftwerk.

1978 Kraftwerk live performance of 2 songs: link Kraftwerk's first live recorded performance was in 1970: ▶ this video How many people in the 1970 audience sensed that they were listening to something as significant as what it became?

Still one of my favourite clips on youtube: the very first video recording of Kraftwerk live, from 1970! ▶ this video (Those audience reactions!)

I feel some details might have lost in 500 years :) The council probably liked the decadence of the happening and they added some fuel. It was probably unreal to be at a "festival" you never seen before so I can understand. Just like experiencing a techo party for the first time no one seen before. ▶ this video
