Music, Please! - Digital Desires

Music, Please! continues its two decade's long, hyperreal dream of radio making. Yet more sonically sensual, slickly packaged symbolism of a past that never was, but somehow also IS, re-interpreted and revived via fractured audio artefacts.

This week’s episode continues our computerised love affair, an endless, complex fascination with the sounds of the 1980s, constructed utilising pioneering equipment like the Roland Jupiter 8, the Korg MS 20, and the Linn LM1 drum machines.

As fuel for inspiration, as material for the performance of gratitude, these many dedicated musical programmers and tech heads experimented with the newest technology available to them, producing a dazzling multitude of sounds that still thrill and enchant us as listeners. These melodies have outlived the ghostly hauntology of their own lost futures to become our perpetual, ravenous present, where the thrill of satisfaction is always delayed while we lust after the next rare, undiscovered, obscure sound wave of desire.

So come and dance with Music, Please!, dancing through the exhausting present inside beautiful loops of synthesised sounds from an obsolete future dreamed in the 80s, which actually DID arrive.

It’s here, on Subcity, TODAY.
