About
The story
The Techno Protocol is the dark side of Sindare. Where The Human State stays melodic and emotional, the protocol goes deeper and harder. Dark melodic techno and trance climb chapter by chapter towards acid-driven peak-time, telling one story about mankind's arrogance and the machines we built.
12" vinyl LP · 33⅓ RPM · 39:00
Artist umbrella
Melodic techno and trance with room to breathe. Long builds, warm chords and breakdowns that hit you in the chest.
Dark melodic techno and trance that climbs the BPM ladder to acid peak-time. One story, told track by track.
The emblem of the protocol: half human, half ape, eyes wide on the dancefloor. Raw and loud, because the human is the arrogant ape of all apes.
The human is the arrogant ape of all apes.
We built machines to make us greater, and forgot to ask what they would make of us. The Techno Protocol is about that arrogance: the folly of a species that believes it controls everything it creates.
The danger sits in the technology we made ourselves. The same circuits that threaten us also give us the kick, the bass and the acid line.
On the dancefloor the machine sets us free. Techno is the way out of the world it helped build. The story ends with being saved by the machine.
