This is a really old story, but ... The thing that made the biggest impact on me around the time I started going to club parties was how everybody danced in totally different ways, even though they were all at the same event. The roar of the equipment and the vibrations it caused on everyone's skin was the same for everyone, but everyone interpreted it completely differently.

At rock and hard rock lives, your body would get hot, almost like you were taking a hot shower, and there was a shock like your body was being pulled up from above.
During rock and hard rock live shows too, your body becomes hot and shivers like taking a hot shower. And you feel your body being lifted up from above.


Then, there were some clubs, particularly where they played techno, it was a shock like if you'd just gotten into a cold bath, and your entire body would freeze from within. It was a different feeling, like your body was being pushed up from below.
On the other hand, during clubs, especially techno-styled, heat is formed from inside your body and shivers like taking a cold bath. And you feel a different feeling, like your body was being pushed up from below.


To use that imagery, the ultimate techno would feel like a body of water with a temperature near absolute zero, but water that freezing cold would be dangerous. It's not like something someone would choose to be in ...
From expressing such image, if the ultimate techno had a temperature, the water would be at a state near zero degrees.<br>
However, cold water would be a problem, as it seems to freeze from the time and place.<br>
It's like choosing a person....


This song, "symbolic", is like a splash of water so absolutely cold that if it touches you, you feel like you have to dance, to move, or you'll die. It's incredibly cold, but not like a bunch of water - more like, so that it puts you in the mood that when you move about as much as you can, it feels so good.
This "symbolic" is the ultimate cold water, like freezing to death if you don't move~, so people become motivated and dance even if they felt a bit of it.<br>
It's very cold, but there are no chunks of ice here and there, so you can move your body to one's content and it feels the greatest.


The secret to being ice-free is in the sound. I think. If the rhythm is like ice water, the sounds of the synth are antifreeze. If it's too familiar, you'll freeze up. If it's too novel, the water temperature won't go down ...  
The secret of anti-freeze is in the sound tone. I think. If the rhythm is water, the sound tone is anti-freeze.<br>
If it sounds familiar, you'll completely freeze. If it's too new, the water temperature won't decrease...

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

This is a really old story, but when I started going to club parties, the biggest impact I had was how people shook their bodies in different ways from live rock shows (even though they were all at the same event).
The explosions and vibrations produced is the same as shivering skin, but I felt that the path it was transmitted from was completely different.

During rock and hard rock live shows too, your body becomes hot and shivers like taking a hot shower. And you feel your body being lifted up from above.

On the other hand, during clubs, especially techno-styled, heat is formed from inside your body and shivers like taking a cold bath. And you feel a different feeling, like your body was being pushed up from below.

From expressing such image, if the ultimate techno had a temperature, the water would be at a state near zero degrees.
However, cold water would be a problem, as it seems to freeze from the time and place.
It's like choosing a person....

This "symbolic" is the ultimate cold water, like freezing to death if you don't move~, so people become motivated and dance even if they felt a bit of it.
It's very cold, but there are no chunks of ice here and there, so you can move your body to one's content and it feels the greatest.

The secret of anti-freeze is in the sound tone. I think. If the rhythm is water, the sound tone is anti-freeze.
If it sounds familiar, you'll completely freeze. If it's too new, the water temperature won't decrease...
