Cybernetically Yours

Pascale de Graaf traces the origins of electronic music and cybernetics through the lens of Jasia Reichardt’s robotics archive. From Halim El-Dabh’s groundbreaking Wire Recorder Piece (1944) and John Cage’s pioneering tape compositions of the 1960s, to Philip K. Dick’s speculative fiction and the genre-defying music of Arca, this episode provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the intertwined histories of technology that have shaped contemporary artistic visions of the future.
