Symphonic Techno

Symphonic Techno

Symphonic Techno represents the integrated, non-genre, and progressive Instrumental Electronic music that interfuses the different elements of electronic dance music such as Techno, Ambient, Drum’n’Bass, Progressive rock, Neo-classical music using the classical orchestration techniques.

This term was originally devised, proposed, and defined by a Japanese composer AQi Fzono in order for him to describe the new genre that came into existence referring to the highly original hybrid sound of his 5th album “Cosmology (album)” (original edition released in 1998). In this album Fzono used various new and old synthesizers, samplers, keyboards (including pipe organs, harpsichords), and Theremin, and portrayed the theme “transcend time and space”. The symphonic poem-like suite style that can be heard in some of the Progressive rock (especially Symphonic rock) albums was utilized from sheer necessity, but it actually gave birth to this revolutionary methodology. Even though “Techno music with symphonic arrangement” had existed in the past, “Cosmology” by AQi Fzono is thought to be the first of its kind that created a total symphonic poem by adopting the suite-like style and associating all the songs organically.

In a broad sense, Symphonic Techno can be interpreted as the music that “combines Symphonic rock and Techno”, but according to Fzono who created this term and the genre, it is “hotchpotch of Techno” that combines together and “synthesizers” many different musical elements using the electronic musical instruments like synthesizer. This methodology can be found in the last installment of Symphobient Trilogy “Cathedral” by AQi Fzono released in 1995.

There have not been many followers of this style as of yet, probably because it requires advanced compositional technique, but this genre does possess infinite possibility of expansion. This term is also thought to have an aesthetic cross relationship with “Sci-fi Music”, a musical concept AQi Fzono devised and proposed around the same time.
