Teaser for upcoming NON-Official full video of this great song from Daft Punk's new album "Random Access Memories".
I want to pick up on what Attali's interview characterized as A's call for a new perception/treatment of music "less as a site of resistance (and more as) one of the apprenticeship of some new freedom and creativity." In other words, let's stop thinking of music as something that we can use to work ourselves "out" of neoliberalism and turn our attentions and energies instead to coming up with ways that we can use it to improve (micro)communications, relations, and make moves toward something like (*my reading*) a Latour-like "common world" (I'm also drawing this from the characterization of A's fourth "period"/wave as compositional). There are parallels to what A seems to be calling for in "the movement" that Blessed Unrest author Paul Hawken describes--microcosms seeking connectivity and co-creation on a Latour-like, ecological front--but I'd like to delve into this more to see if we can come up with some ex's in contemporary music and art.
