Noise & Capitalism: Undoing, Understanding & Sharing Time Together
We are celebrating the publication of the book Noise & Capitalism with a four days experimental gathering: 14-17 September 2009 Arteleku, Kristobaldegi 14, Donostia-San Sebastian (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country) Emma Hedditch, Howard Slater, Anthony Iles & Mattin This event is part of ERTZ festival organised by Audiolab If our senses are appropriated by capitalism and put to work in an ‘attention economy’, let's, then, reappropriate our senses, our capacity to feel, our receptive powers; let's start the war at the membrane! Alienated language is noise, but noise contains possibilities that may, who knows, be more affective than discursive, more enigmatic than dogmatic. Noise and improvisation are practices of risk, a ‘going fragile’. Yet these risks imply a social responsibility that could take us beyond ‘phoney freedom’ and into unities of differing. Is this what we should explore in this experiment? Set up to fail, fail to set up, fall-in behind the failsafe; or share and undo ourselves a little? Everything is possible. But why, from cradle to stage, from classroom to cantina, do we often just do what is expected from us? What is it that constrains us, pressures us? What could our scope of action be in each specific moment? How can we change our social relations at this or that precise moment? How are our bodies moving through space? How are our senses informing our thought? How are our resonances and silences musical? What does this mean to different people? How does our class, gender and sexuality determine what we do, what we think and the way we play? Can we play without instruments as ‘instruments of sensitive living’ without identities? If the conditions in which we produce our music affects our playing then let's try to feel through them, understand them as much as possible and, then, change these conditions. Let's not use ready-made methods and forms; let’s try to find our own.
