Mcluhan, Hofstadter, Leidecker - a Medium of Hearing and Listening.

By K-o-m-o-d-O on November 13, 2014 12:17 pm

Final assignment for my Music 2.0 subject @ Uni was on Mcluhan's quote 'The medium is the message'. I made a sort of treasure hunt including text, images and sound to argue some of my points rather than a normal essay. This is the audio section of the assignment, on the premise that Deconstruction and Recontextualisation are the two great tools of the digital music medium, that 'analogy is at the core of cognition' therefore splicing new sounds and songs together in weird ways = something something.

Ah! Radio Web MACBA's Variations--that's a great series!  And a Purdie Shuffle!  Always great to hear.  Very interesting juxtapositions.
