Unsound Talk 03: Hearing The Cloud by Unsound

Emile Frankel appeared at Unsound 2018 ahead of the publication of Hearing The Cloud by Zero Books. In this talk, the causal nature of making music about the future becomes a platform to consider the act of composing, one note over another, as an act of resistance and an act of prophecy. In spite of narrowing images of tech-dystopias and flooded worlds, experimental sound and club culture attempts to open up spaces for alternate and vital imaginings. Play, honesty, and the maxim "this music changed me" were discussed in the world-building of former and current Unsound participants.
