His diagnosis was devastating: stagnation in music was akin to a venous insufficiency, or worse, some kind of nuclear winter that would ward off the spring for endless generations to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on musicians like SOPHIE, Arca and Iglooghost, Matt Bluemink declares that the future is not lost; it still speaks to us through music. If Fisher’s Hauntology — dwelling on ghosts of the past — is the logic of depression, then Bluemink’s Anti-Hauntology posits a logic of hope where voices from the future continue to guide the development of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsland-hopping through Stiegler's philosophy of technics, Simondon's theory of individuation, and the spatial imaginaries of cyberpunk and solarpunk, Bluemink builds a theoretical framework equal to the times — one that takes seriously our capacity to, not only diagnose the world, but remake it. In order to create a new future we must re-imagine our relationship with music, with technology, and with culture. The world of tomorrow is a blank canvas; an open book. New beginnings are always possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Becoming Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56712618770818,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/files\/IMG_6354132.jpg?v=1781708416","url":"https:\/\/goodpress.co.uk\/products\/the-future-is-not-lost-on-music-technology-the-creation-of-new-worlds-by-matt-bluemink","provider":"Good Press — good books \u0026 more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
