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)
