High Tech Soul: The Creation of Techno Music [2006]
Music is changing. It's hard to tell who "invented" some or other music style, basically because we are all influenced with our experiences, and every music artist is influenced with music that he heard before - the music that someone else created.
"High Tech Soul" explains why techno music was "invented" in Detroit, and not some other city. It contains many interviews with people who were there and who were influenced enough by the city itself and many other things, artists and music - that they felt the urge to create something new and beautiful. Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson are basically the fathers of techno music. Besides them, this movie contains many other people who are important innovators in techno music, or made they contribution in those early days.
A great film that everyone should see - because techno itself influenced many other musicians in almost every music style that has been made in the past 20 years.
