Thesis Outline:

Feelings of utopia within a moment of (recorded) music. Immanence of utopia rather then a reachable utopia in the (distant) future. From the idea of utopia as a moment rather then a place emerges the idea of a radio broadcast as an utopian space. Seeing radio transmission as unhearable and untouchable , distant and fleeting yet inescapable broadcast.

Radio as a no-place

In this light we can see pirate radio stations as a more prolonged and profound utopia, especially the ones that operate in a relative state of seclusion.(ie Radio Veronica broadcasted from a boat, Radio Luxembourg broadcasted from a principality)

The idea of seclusion and autonomy

Space age music example: Afrofuturism, Sun Ra and George Clinton. Where an alternative space age music meets music on data, usage of computers and the future.

how does the vocoder and radio utopia relate?

Radio in the information age. Death of pirate radio in a physical space. Internet radio. Internet supplies music on demand, less need to revolt against broadcasting monopolies.

Radio as a secure network. Sigsaly, conet project, London Pirate Radio. (part internet, part piracy)

Cryptography within music. Musiscians as cryptoanalists. History of the vocoder, the machine speaks. Music as symbolism.

Possibly I would like to add: Present radio ,internet radio versus on demand music platforms (soma.fm versus spotify)

Annotations(incomplete)

excerpts from my proposal
