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)
