13:30 - Steve Goodman (UK) teaches music culture at the School of Humanities & Social Sciences, University of East London. He runs the master “Sonic Culture” and is now working on Sonic Warfare, a theoretical research on the intersection between war and sound culture. A member of Ccru (Cybernetic Culture Research Unit), under the name of Kode9 he is a main figure in contemporary breakbeat culture. In his essay 'Speed Tribes: netwar, affective hacking and the audio-social', Goodman formulates the unifying relay for music cultures through speed, perception and sensation. According to him “speed tribes” are micro-cultures attached to a specific sound and speed. The distinguishing instance that defines a speed tribe expresses itself through the motion and rest of bodies. A music culture develops as an assemblages of embodied perceptions which produce and re produce multiple singularities. In this continuous flux of movement bass nature forms itself not as closed entity but appears as a collective through ‘”rhythmic consistency and affective potential”.
