In short

What is classical techno / orchestral techno?

Sinfonia Technica mixes classical and baroque colours with electronic dance music. A typical track starts quietly, for example with a solo guitar, a music box or a string line at 55–70 bpm, then an electronic pulse enters, the tempo climbs and the track lands in a techno section at 124–148 bpm, with the orchestra, choir or guitars carrying the melody over the beat.
