The Music Folder #11 Kode9
Interview by Guglielmo Bottin, 22/11/2023.
The Music Folder is a talk series, curated by Archivio Storico Ricordi, which investigates the intersection of music, memory, and arts.
For the 11th installment of our podcast series #TheMusicFolder we are pleased to present Kode9, electronic music artist and founder of the Hyperdub record label.
The talk realized in collaboration with Biennale Musica on the occasion of the 67th International Festival of Contemporary Music in Venice, is hosted by Guglielmo Bottin, PhD fellow in electronic popular music and groove theory at University of Milan, visiting scholar at Humbold University in Berlin, as well as established producer and touring dj in his own right.
The conversation investigates the motives behind the birth of the Hyperdub label, the label as an archive and the current state of digital archives, the role of ideology in the development of music scenes, sonic fiction as future world building and re-mediation of past allegories of the future, and much more.
