Mat Dryhurst’s work has long been concerned with platform politics and decentralisation, manifest through attempts to seed alternative techno-cultural pathways through public proposals, teaching, and artworks. In this talk he will discuss our duty to the musical archive in the face of ahistorical algorithmic populism, and how now might be an opportunity to reconsider first principles. What do we actually stand for? How do we encode this ideology? Unpacking decentralised economic ideas such as DAO’s, Data Guilds and new Group Equity models, he will make the argument that we might want to consider a cultural hard fork.

Cerpintxt is an electroacoustic progress report concerned with generating an invented language of a particular strain of softness through phonetic entropy and augmented instrumentation. Working with cut-ups, dialectics, and chaos magick to decimate language and linear constructs of temporality. In an entropic process of lingual erosion into protoconversation, the textural counterparts of her sound include wind instruments, broken turntablism, tape recorders, granular and modular synthesis. She curates the London-based event ‘Boundary Condition’ investigating the parallelization between darkjazz, hauntology, and music concrete as nostalgia-centric sonic practices, previously hosting Esperanza Spalding, Shabaka Hutchings, Machinefabriek, Carlos Casas and more. She is a resident on Radio Alhara, Radio syg.ma and Mutant Radio.
