Techno Music Information
Techno music came out of Detroit in the 1980′s, and carried the influences of popular electronic music of the 1970′s to the dancefloors. The music features regular, pouding beats coupled with distorted synthesized sequences.
The best known early techno producers are Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson, sometimes known as the Belleville Three. They made music for clubs that was a urban take on the music of German musicians like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream were making. While Techno made it to the clubs in Chicago and New York, it was a largely underground style throughout the eighties.

The Principle of Music and Other Works of Boethius
Now we are going to talk about one more important work by Boethius, The Principles of Music. The ground for this work was also with mathematical character. But such vision of music did not coincide with the standpoints of modern science. Probably, the history of music in some ways connected to mathematic, but it is impossible to build the whole theory of music only in mathematic.
First of all, Boethius defined three main types of music, such as instrumental, human and cosmic. In such criterion of defining the music types mathematic played the role connected to harmonic rations. Such point of view was really significant for Greek as they strongly thought that our world is set with the harmonic rations. So, all this was connected to the cosmic type of music.
