"In an analysis of the echoes that we occupied, what did we hear?" (1)
A class which could loosely be defined as being about "cultural modes and codes in music production" or "scrambled narratives in psycho-acoustic fictional space". Specifically filtered through the spectral crypto-logical looking glass of the "inexplicable recording techniques, drug fueled irrationality and inherently abusive personality" (2) of post-punk record producer Martin Hannett.
"The destructive character has the consciousness of historical man, whose deepest emotion is an insuperable mistrust of the course of things and a readiness at all times to recognize that everything can go wrong." (3)
This class examines the social, cultural and ideological conditions under which the artist functions as 'producer' and how strategies of failure and obfuscation are used to counter "the drama of the those who can see no aesthetic escape from artistic nonconformity". (4)
