What’s a futurist? According to all-mighty Wikipedia, it’s “...the practice and art of postulating possible, probable, and preferable futures.” in short, it’s like predicting the future based on what happened in the past and what’s happening in the present. Mind you this is a complicated subject; but what does this have to do with Techno Music?
One of the founders of Techno, Juan Atkins was inspired by the books of author and futurist, Alvin Toffler. From his book, Future Shock, also came the terms, “cybotron” (Atkins’ first group) and “metroplex” (Atkins’ label).
So you guys out there, read your books: you never know how it’ll inspire you to create music.
