[microsound] Re: Socio/political implications of microsound music?
i think the term "implications" is what throws this into a space of weirdness...
what "implications" could there be for an area (not really a genre) of soundscape (if I may... and not even sure about that...) production which tends to feature glitches, etc. (o brother am i sick of the ball-and-chain definition of 'microsound' work being involved in the Glitch.. not to mention the Aesthetics of .. I won't say it...)?
Are there "political implications" anyway?
Politics is about power. Not neccesarily good power or bad power (could be either, and both and a trillion micro-corpusules combining and rec-combining into coagulations, etc. of ... power... could also be hegemonic shifts, ruptures, ... etc. could also be super-systems and super-structures... etc.... could also be new actions that can barely be described... cause we don't have the language yet... etc...)...
So, power.
Microsound has power. Obviously.
We are here right? Doing things.
What that is...
Well is there any *one* thing...
No...
So, yeah it is a "discourse"...
It has power.
Hence, there is much more then "implications" involved.
More real stuff.
