you're asking for techno to be a surrogate literature. some detroit cats tried to do that with the conceptual stuff but honestly im not into that stuff so much sci fi is like a corny cold war art form for the most part. you have to listen to it as non-music. when you try to listen to it musically with standards of western art music it doesn't work, that was what industrial and free jazz musics were trying to break. westerners are too indoctrinated in notions of rational tonality, of rational emotion, of precise bourgeois mathematical tonality. a lot of techno is just someone sitting down with a machine and tweaking it. it is not composed in the strictist sense, nor is it improvised in the same way as avant jazz. it's not really something you need music theory to do. a basic understanding of the rhythms and music technology will do. whereas with punk if you didn't want to basically sound identical to the ramones you had to have good chops. a lot of punks could actually play really well, they just didn't admit it till the post-punk era. whereas the 2nd wave onwards of techno in fact came closer to realising a non-musicians music. techno in that respect is closer to moroccan hand drum percussion circles. it's more about being tactile rather than sitting at a piano and mathematically plotting everything out. although of course in gnawa drumming there is heavy heavy mathematics, it's just that a lot of that is sublated into the censory perceptions and the immediate rituals.
