killing joy as a world making project sarah ahmed

‘sound’, rather than being a destination, has been a potent and necessary means for accessing and understanding the world; in effect, it leads away from itself. A very nebulous notion of methodology, but also something that kicks in before methodology.

Douglas Kahn

Every act of perception, is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.

Sound and the Self

One of the ways in which individuals make such simultaneous realisations of society and space is through the act of musical consumption. Indeed musical consumption has proved to be both a particularly distinctive and enduring medium for collective reconstruction of public space.
