Black electronic
Related: Erik Davis - afro futurism
So I'm using the Black Electronic to characterize those electro-acoustic cyberspaces that emerge from the historical-cultural context of the Black Atlantic. Though I do believe that some of the "roots" of these spaces lie in West Africa, I am more concerned with their decidedly "rhizomorphic" behavior as they criss-cross that acoustic dimension that David Toop has called, in a slightly different context, the twentieth century's "ocean of sound." In particular, I want to explore one specific zone within the Black Electronic: the remarkable acoustic spaces that emerge when the polyrhythmic sensibility found in traditional West African drumming encounter those electronic instruments, at once "musical" and "technological," that record, reproduce, and manipulate sound. -- Erik Davis in http://www.techgnosis.com/cyberconf.html
