Sound War

Sound exceeds our capacity for thought, it crosses all scales of the reality and social life, and allows us to experience in advance the threats of the near future: these are the hypotheses that he deploys in his War sound DJ, bass music producer and theorist Steve Goodman, better known under the pseudonym Kode 9, and trained within the Research Unit on the Cyberculture (CCRU) alongside Kodwo Eshun and Mark Fisher. Guided by the lessons from sound systems and raves, challenging the division between philosophy and science fiction, he composes with this book a vast fractal fresco, which analyzes the limits of the audible and the powers of vibration. War sound describes how the mastery of infrabass and the occupation of space sensory have become the stake of a secret but generalized battle.
