User:Danny van der Kleij/Thesis outline

Thesis Outline:

• Feelings of utopia within a moment of (recorded) music. Immanence of utopia rather then a reachable utopia in the (distant) future.

• Radio as a Utopian space, Pirate Radio, Radio as a no-space.Distant and fleeting yet inescapable broadcast.

• 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.

• 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)
