*1- PROBES series. Curated by Chris Cutler <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag>*Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/ probes_tag PROBES <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag> takes Marshall McLuhan’s conceptual contrapositions as a starting point to analyse and expose the search for a new sonic language made urgent after the collapse of tonality in the twentieth century. The series looks at the many probes and experiments that were launched in the last century in search of new musical resources, and a new aesthetic; for ways to make music adequate to a world transformed by disorientating technologies. You can find the latest instalment of the series, exploring the impact of Indian instruments in Western Music here. <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-20-1-chris-cutler/capsula> *2- <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia148_mark_fisher/capsula> SON[I]A #148.
