Participants will be invited to share their own struggles, with the infinite scroll of commercial social media, listening to and paying for music deliberately […]

This participatory workshop focusses on experimental and critical writing practices, techniques and histories in their alignment with experimental art and music cultures. It's an invitation to discover the role and possibility of writing in our underground music community. Any experience levels are welcome.

We will also consider the changing role of critical writing, reading and self-publishing within contemporary audio art and experimental music cultures and […]
