*New podcast: PROBES #18.2. Auxiliaries. Curated by Chris Cutler* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes18-2-chris-cutler/capsula
In this auxilliary, bachelor pad hi-fi stereo exotica whips off its kitschy disguise to reveal a revolutionary core, abandoning boring documentation for a hyperreal exploration of novel timbres, impossible spatialities and radical fragmentation. *This is where recording technology finally becomes aware of itself as an aesthetic rather than as a purely technical medium.* The PROBES <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_auxiliaries_tag>Auxiliaries collect materials related to each episode that try to give a broader – and more immediate – impression of the field. They are a scan, not a deep listening vehicle; an indication of what further investigation might uncover and, for that reason, most are edited snapshots of longer pieces. We have tried to light the corners as well as the central arena, and to not privilege so-called serious over so-called popular genres. In PROBES #18 <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-18-1-chris-cutler/capsula>, Chris Cutler puts some context to this history.
