In this episode, we invited friends of the show, Will and Anton, to discuss their upcoming project: an ethnographic, musicological, and philosophical investigation into the aesthetic phenomenon of 'PC Music' and its unique digital use of space, facial framing, and audible intensity in generating concert experiences. Taking artists such as A.G. Cook and SOPHIE as paradigm cases, we discuss how PC Music, otherwise known more generally as 'hyperpop', integrates accelerationist methods to lay bare the practices of subjectification that arise in societies of cybernetic control. We use this to go on and talk about the deconstruction of identity, hauntology, trans studies, and the relation of Queerness to the promise of new futures across a plurality of post-capitalist frontiers.

    Writing an analytical essay on Black Dresses' embodiment of contrast on 'Peaceful as Hell' for my masters and the discussions on accelerationism came in very handy! Thanks!

    The vaporwave PC comparison is interesting. I think another thing to look at is sampling/asset flipping in vaporwave vs synthesis in PC.

    This was great. I hope you guys analyse Disco Elysium at some point, because it certainly seems to be engaging in an immanent critique of hauntology.

    @@gustavttt4148 I'm Zombie'ing this comment but the game is packed with it. There's an entire side-quest line around building communism despite the inevitable failure of any such actions. The locale is also seemingly conceptually fueled by some kind of physical manifestation of hauntings and the past

    Was the festival influenced at all by any other similar artistic/new-media live performances? It's clear that the PC music rendition has pushed the boundaries to a new precedent in elasticity of the art-form, but I recall a recording of a London concert in 2018 or 2019 area, for a return to the stage of a Richard David James, better known as AFX/Aphex Twin, in which livestreams of randomly chosen audience members were projected above the stage using an independent VJ artist who was doing impromptu modulations tied to the tracks being played.

    It's amazing that this is released when Rebecca Black drops the music video for arguably a hyperpop remix of her song Friday made by 3oh3 which is clearly nostalgia for the early 2010's /late 2000's (hauntology)

    good look! there is no argument that this is 110% hyperpop. She is pretty directly referencing Charlie XCX's video for Vroom Vroom (prod Sophie). The song/video is more than simply hauntological recurrence though because it is self referential to something that she lived the consequences of (being an early generation viral meme as a young teenager). For us, all we see is the final product but for her, she has had to try and make sense of what that kind of celebrity means to her (her identity). We can't really say for sure the impact her song Friday had on the whole genre but it is certainly >0. Hyperpop is an expression of the idea that celebrity and spectacle is synthetic but the creative force behind it all comes from a meaningful, organic place.

    Yup. Beneath the undulations of avant-gardism capital is being accumulated and civilization is making itself more inevitable.
