How To Do Things With Sound | On Music

In the final years of the Soviet Union, how did the subculture win
over conceptual and real freedoms? Did a trail lead from occupied
houses in Moscow and St. Petersburg to the Afrofuturism of Sun Ra
and Missy Elliott? Musicologists Giada Dalla Bontà and Holger
Schulze trace the developmental lines of sonic fiction. They follow
the mythical language around the term coined by Kodwo Eshun and
explore the potential of sounds and their narratives as a
liberating force. Directed and produced by Julia Vorkefeld,
commentary by Sarj Lynch, script and concept by Arno Raffeiner
