ABSTRACT

Patrick Pulsinger road to electronic music through buying discarded gear from no-longer-functioning studios, repairing it and finding out what can be done with it. A degree of specialisation, with Patrick Pulsinger being more engaged in the production of music and Tunakan representing the label externally and taking responsibility for the business side. Patrick Pulsinger also made remixes for other artists, including fellow musicians from Vienna, such as Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister as well as Pet Shop Boys, Abe Duque and Grace Jones. The peak of techno's popularity was in the early 1990s. Vienna techno was more about music and less about creating a united Europe, fighting for peace or escaping the corporatist treadmill. Patrick Pulsinger's artistic trajectory can be deduced from the titles of the albums signed in his name. The first was Porno. 'Porno' is regarded as the most 'classic' techno album made by a Viennese artist, an opinion which is confirmed by its re-release in 2004.
