A video talk by me
Not my finest moment in terms of organisation or presentation - this was written and recorded in a real rush. I didn’t even brush my hair or hide the baby vests on the dryer. But the ideas in it seem to have been going down well.
One thing I should make clear: this is not intended as some utopian vision. I’m all too well aware that those networks that 1990s club culture built also contain a lot of the worst of what humans can do, ethically and aesthetically. You have to be very careful what you are plugging into - as I say, it’s difficult to unplug once you’re part of it!
The video was recorded as a “provocation” for the AmpNMS online event. If you click through to it, you can see some other people’s reactions to my talk, and several other similar discussions about music cultures and the industry.
