Nathalie Gravanor’s Sonic
Lecture (Sunday 29th April 2012, 19.00)
ponders the question with a sub title: rallying calls and anthems, pranks,
opening alternative spaces and modes of distribution.
She covers both pro- and
opponents of this thesis and questions whether either camp has any new
ideas:“What exactly constitutes change? That seems to be a key question. This
lecture will propose different possibilities for music to impact a larger group
than just the singer and his entourage and thus hopes to offer some stimuli for
a fresh discussion.”
Featuring the unavoidable
protest singer pantheon Seeger-Guthrie-MacColl-Dylan-Baez, John Cage, James
Brown, Beatles vs. Stones, Crass, Laibach, Plastic People of the Universe, a selection
of election campaign songs, Ton Steine Scherben, Kraftwerk, M.I.A and others.
