In honour of techno, I (and we?) shall continue to revive the #technofriday tag and at the same time give the #techno tag a further boost as well as the #music tag.

Last few days when curating music related posts, I discovered Steemians clearly taking a backseat approach. The number of posts was reduced considerably, while the number of quality posts was even further down. I truly hope this has to do with the holidays: XMAS and the upcoming NYE. Although I hope, I've also seen less activity since Bitcoin and Steem droppped its values at the exchanges. Why not try and earn a bit of Steem while Steem value is low? In the end, similar amounts of Steem are distributed and it is just a matter of waiting until Steem value comes up again. The US$ value at the posts shall be removed and replaces with amount of Steem rewarded; I think that is a better way to keep Steemians connected with our community, also when the cryptos are down.

But... I'm digressing...

Recently I discovered this artist from France, studied in Italy, classical music and the piano in particular. As some other classical artists, this guy has a thing for dance music also and started to combine electronics with the classical piano. He admits, he at first went totally commercial, but since a year or so, he got into techno. With a prepared piano to create adapted sounds, combined with a set of drum machines, he released his first techno piano EPs last year.

I'm always intrigued by hybrid music, and in particular the hybrid between classical instruments and techno. When I discovered Fabrizio, it was therefore obvious I investigated his works in more detail. I must say: "He creates some interesting pieces!" Below I share a recording of his. He may not have used a piano in this one, but it certainly is a very interesting combination of different styles of the techno genre.

To hear his piano techno works, check out his EPs, through the Soundcloud and Bandcamp links below.
