Lyrics by Christopher Damms:

Come to America where the the angels fly
Change the way you feel
Move up to Canada, a sunset tide…
Change the way you see

I have often heard the stories and the dreams about you
I have seen your silver stars
And here  you are… in America

Come to America, take a chance on life
Change the way you breathe
Drive down to Florida, take the sunset keys (hotel)
Swim beneath the sea…

I have often heard the stories and the dreams about you
I have seen your silver stars
And here  you are… in America

What would you say if I could take you on a plane unto America
Would all the things you heard, though quite absurd be waiting in America

I have often seen the wonders and the films about you
I have seen the eagle fly…

And here you are . . . In America.... America ....

"Entrancement and Entrainment: Techno Shamans from Prehistory to Berghain."

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015
CTM 2015 – Un Tune
Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin

Music and dance are a fundamental part of human activity, emerging alongside shelter and fire as a communal technology that enabled people to build cultures that held knowledge and relationships together, and that built what we know today as humanity. We have evidence of musical culture from as long as 40,000 years ago. What was the music of the past like and how does it relate to music today? This presentation explores why people across the world and across the millennia have sought entrancement from music by entraining their bodies to external musical rhythms. Rupert Till will discuss how and why we explore altered states of consciousness through music, traveling to other places within ourselves. He will examine the similarities between the ritualistic cultures of the ancient past and the electronic cultures of today, and hope to learn something as result of what it means to be human.

Dr. Rupert Till is Reader in Music at the University of Huddersfield. He has taught popular music and music technology in universities for over 20 years, and is Chair of the UK and Ireland branch of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music. His research has explored electronic dance music, club cultures, trance and spirituality.

CTM 2015: Entrancement and Entrainment. Lecture by Rupert Till

Techno Doctor

This week we explore the limits of consciousness and the potential for human transformation through music and psychedelia with theorist, scholar and Ph.D. student Claire Rebecca Bannister(Kingston University, London).  Our conversation takes us from the Goth club to the depths of the rainforest, from late capitalist spiritual consumption to the heart of tribal relations-making.  We unabashedly explore the connections between musical repetition and achieving altered states of consciousness, all the while challenging the notions that psychedelic and gothic musics have little overlaps.  We also introduce our "news of sound" segment at the opening - keeping our intrepid audience caught up on the latest news affecting sound in culture.
