COX, Christoph
Space, Time, and Sonic Utopia- ECHOES 2

Over the past half-century, artists and theorists have celebrated the utopian potential of sound and music to create experiences of space and time that resist or provide alternatives to capitalist reification, individualism, and exploitation. The first part of this essay traces some of the ways that time and space have been implicated in the history of the concept of utopia and, particularly, in some musical utopias of the late 20th century. The second part more fully explores the temporalresonance of utopia in experimental music and sound art.
