A tidal wave of probes and experiments into new musical resources and new organisational practices ploughed through both disciplines, bringing parts of each onto shared terrain before rolling on to underpin a new aesthetics able to follow sound and its manipulations beyond the narrow confines of 'music'. This series tries analytically to trace and explain these developments, and to show how, and why, both musical and post-musical genres take the forms they do.

into the record – because official histories tend typically to gloss over whatever is
inconvenient or apparently marginal to their teleological narratives. The
ubiquitous Alex Ross is only the latest to have captured the imaginations of
concert programmers and documentarists – and all of those who find it easier to
take a kings-and-queens approach to musical history, treating its footsoldiers and
forgotten masses as so many inessential bystanders whose aesthetics and
innovations just complicate their tidy narratives. As Brecht remarked: ‘Caesar
defeated the Gauls. Did he not even have a cook with him?’
This series is for the cooks". </span></font></span><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;display:inline!important;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></span></span></font><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">The podcast will be available soon!<br></span></font></div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br><br></span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">You can find the complete series so far here: <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag" target="_blank">http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag</a><br><br></span></font></div><br><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Enjoy!<br></span></font></div></div>
