Discussion and presentation of a book on the political theory of popular music by British musician, composer, and theorist Chris Culter.

FILE UNDER POPULAR - a book by Chris Cutler published by kuda.org

One primary need should be emphasized: that musicians themselves develop a theory of music and culture derived from their practices. Such a theory, accompanied by a struggle for meaningful forms, must be the starting point of our action.

"File Under Popular" is a collection of essays on the political theory of popular music by British musician, composer, and theorist Chris Culter.

The promotion of the book and the conversation about it was organized as part of the event "Festival in Opposition - Arts and Politics of Improvisation", on Friday, October 28 at 8 pm in CK13. Participants in the conversation are: Chris Cutler, Ozren Lazić, Howard Slater, Paul Abbott, Zoran Pantelić, Stevan Kovacs Tickmayer

The translation of the book from English into Serbo-Croatian was realized by Ozren Lazić, and the publisher is kuda.org.

From the translation of the book: "In everyday speech, the term 'popular', whatever it means, is always opposed to the term 'classical' or 'artistic', which, historically speaking, expresses the class difference. Yet in this second, ‘progressive’ form, we find ‘popular’ music that largely contains significant qualities characteristic of artistic and classical music. Its social views, the way it originates and distributes, its production relations may be fundamentally different, but many formal elements and especially the levels of discourse are essentially the same. Of all the music that can be called popular, I think that these represent the most significant transitional forms and suggest upcoming changes. Also, they most clearly point to a deep and radical aspiration (within industrial society as a whole) towards original classlessness. By this I mean the end of privilege, inequality and exploitation. ”(From the essay“ What is Popular Music? ”, Chris Cutler)

You can download the book in pdf format from the attachment to this page.

The book contains essays under the following titles:

What is popular music?

Necessity and choice in musical forms - On musical and technical means and political needs

Sun Ra Intergalactic Search Orchestra

The Residents

Phil Ochs and Elvis Presley

Progressive music in the UK

"Progressive" music, "progressive" politics?

Chris Cutler is a percussionist, composer, lyricist, and music theorist. Of the many engagements, the most famous are those with the Avant-rock group Henry Cow, as well as with Art Bears, News From Babel, Cassiber, The (ec) Nudes, P53, The Science Group, Pere Ubu ... Dealing with music for over four decades, Cutler can be heard on over a hundred music releases. Of the numerous collaborations, those with John Rose, Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins, Iancu Dumitrescu, Peter Blegvad, and Stevan Kovac Tickmayer, etc. can be highlighted. Cutler also runs an independent label, Record Records. Together with associates from Henry Cow, he initiated the Rock in Opposition movement, which articulated demand for resistance to the music industries in order to promote the work of marginalized music groups whose music did not enter the radar of commercial music companies because it was based on experimentation and improvisation. In the field of music theory, he deals with avant-garde, popular music, technology, improvisation, the problem of using other people's music in composing, etc. He is the author of the book File Under Popular (1983), a collection of theoretical and critical texts on music from the perspective of artists. Since 2012, he has been conducting radio lectures in Probes, in which he discusses the history of music from the perspective of the development of music production through the web radio program of the MACBA Museum in Barcelona.

The do-it-yourself concept could mean a different way of production, which is the opposite of a hegemon. Or at least who, along with the ruling one, realizes and materializes other and different ways of production. Borghesia today is indisputably what it is today, not what it was until May 1989. This fact cannot be bypassed. The DIY principle lies outside Borghesia. That is, if it was at all possible to connect Borghesia with the ideologies and practices of otherness, it was necessary to cover up and suppress the facts of the mode of production, which, among other things, produced Borghesia.

Anguish Language is a project that approaches language as a fundamental aspect of today’s social crisis. The project explores and develops new forms of publishing, poetry and political speech that have emerged during the financial crisis since 2008 and social struggles that call into question the consequences of that crisis. In CK13, the new group will vocalize texts, sounds, and noises that resonate with the term ‘anguish language’. http://anguishlanguage.tumblr.com

Through a presentation, Howard Slater took us on a journey with the Scratch Orchestra through a brief history of their origins, as well as the continuation of their influence and inspiration to this day. The Scratch Orchestra originated from a series of music composition classes at London’s Morley College. These classes were initiated by Cornelius Cardew, Michael Parsons, and Howard Skempton and were attended by avant-garde musicians and artists interested in sound research, performance, and interventions outside concert halls. From this, the Scratch Orchestra was formed in 1969 and is described in the sketch of the statute as “a large number of enthusiasts who bring their experience and come together for action (making music, playing, performing). https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/nature-study-notes/

Interview with architect Emil Jurcan, Pula

Interview with architect Emil Jurcan, Pula

Biography: 
Emil Jurcan

Emil Jurcan talks about the Pulska Grupa, the cooperative Praksa, the "use" of architecture, utilities, etc.

Emil Jurcan is an architect, one of the founders of the architectural cooperative Praksa, a member of the Pulska Grupa and the Civic Initiative for Muzil, in Pula, Croatia. and Civil Initiative for Muzil. These initiatives deal with the organization of public debates, protests, political pressures, workshops, conferences, publications, and exhibitions on the issue of privatization of public resources, especially abandoned military complexes in Pula.

Pulska Grupa is an informal group of architects from Pula. Since 2006, the group has gathered a narrow circle of 8 members - Ivana Debeljuh, Vjekoslav Gasparovic, Emil Jurcan, Jerolim Mladinov, Marko Percic, Sara Perovic, Helena Sterpin, and Edna Strenja, as well as many others. One of the first activities of the group was to organize a student workshop in the former military zone, Katarina, in Pula. The results of the workshop published in the book "Katarina 06 - opening of the Pula coast" caused a public conflict with the political elite, because they completely deviated from the official plans for this part of the coast. Since then, the group publishes publications, organizes demonstrations and exhibitions to agitate the audience towards self-organized urbanism in Pula, especially when it comes to the problem of the sea coast.

Interview with Lidija Radojević and Primož Krašovec, DPU, Ljubljana

Lidija Radojević, Primož Krašovec

Lidija Radojević and Primož Krašovec talk about the Delavsko Punkerska Univerza in Metelkova.

Workers' Punk University (Delavsko Punkerska Univerza) is an educational project that provides active education related to current political topics that are clearly avoided by recognized academic circles. For a long time, the self-sufficient knowledge of recognized universities has failed to address issues related to workers, punks, and other marginalized groups, that is, today's social and political reality, which is at a turning point. Workers' Punk University is a project within the Institute for Peace in Ljubljana. The project started in 1996 and is an alternative to official educational institutions. The university is based on collective work and strives to develop critical thinking and open new perspectives regarding the burning issues of today. The annual activities of the University are lectures once a week (every year there is a new subject that lasts throughout the academic year) on selected issues (previous subjects were related to Revolution, new right, love, and politics, new left, postfordism, political ecology, totalitarianism, etc. .); seminars on the interpretation of Marxism and other important social theories (Marx, Marcuse, Brecht, Freud, Altiser, St. Paul, Rousseau, etc. have been studied so far) and a symposium or summer/spring school (previous ones were dedicated to Kant, Adorno, tolerance, Grundrisse, etc.). All events of the Workers' Punk University take place in the former Metelkova barracks in Ljubljana.

Description of DPU taken from: http://www.edicijajugoslavija.net

Metelkova or Autonomous Cultural Center Metelkova is an autonomous social center in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It is located on the site of the former Yugoslav army barracks and was squatted in 1993. Today, Metelkova consists of numerous independent spaces for artistic activities (studios, galleries), concerts, lectures, discussions, then offices for non-governmental organizations, a youth hostel, etc. Today, AKC Metelkova is under a strong blow of "normalization" and gentrification.

Molecular invasion and other tactical media projects, Critical Art Ensemble (2003)

Biography: 

Critical Art Ensemble je kolektive koji čine pet umetnika različite specijalizacije. kolektiv je posvećen istraživanju intersekcije između umetnosti, tehnologije, radikalne politike i kritičke teorije. http://www.critical-art.net

Beatrize da Costa, Steve Kurtz

The idea of ​​tactical media and what it means is our topic of interest right from the start. It is important to say that we were quite irritated by the idea of ​​"monuments" of culture in terms of various types of production from the cultural sphere. It was about something that the artist makes - a great work that greatly influences the course of art history, creates space for individuals, and builds a bunker of meanings that remain permanent. The critical art group was not really interested in such things. We were interested in what is immediate and transient. Maybe the meaning we create will fade over time. We do not create works to last, nor to represent universal claims. We rejected that and instead said: "What we are interested in concerns specific places at a specific time, we are also interested in how the audience understands us. By distorting the traditional art model, by which an artist inspires you, you express that inspiration, then the amount is in public so that people can see. We have found the opposite by wondering what is in the outside world and how we react in the social context. We will present some projects to illustrate what we mean by "tactical", as opposed to the monumental ideal of the strategic. "Giving a New Name" (Renaming Project) was performed in Victoria Square in Adelaide, Australia, and the situation we found there was as follows: Aboriginal people, the locals, had great difficulty trying to penetrate the public sphere. in the project was Central Park in the city, which was a secret land for them, because there was no place for them. In the park, there is a square called Victoria Square, which houses a huge monument to Queen Victoria, the world's greatest colonizer. Needless to say, how irritating it was, there was a feeling that another version of history should be told in the same place. and Western cultures, because our understanding of activism meant direct and fast action, and their understanding of penetrating the public plane meant slow action. These were two culturally completely different conceptions of time. The local population asked the city council to give the square a double name. Another name would be Aboriginal "Tamdaniunnga", meaning " there, where red kangaroos dream". The panel neither rejected nor agreed to that proposal. Needed by this situation, tribal elders, local activists and a multitude of stakeholders decided to take concrete action to name the square. In cooperation with the company that made the inscriptions called the city of Adelaide, inscriptions were made called the square - "Tamdaniunnga". That is when the Art Coalition for Public Art (PAAC) was formed. The group replaced 10 of the 20 inscriptions called Victoria Square and thus gave the square a double name. It was a way to show the activity that people can use in the material conditions they live in. They no longer had to live with the feeling that passive resistance was the only solution. It only took a few days. However, it is interesting that six weeks after that, the city council gave in and now the square has a double name. It was a concrete intervention that went public and that changed the previous situation - a structure that had been present for centuries. This is very close to the essence of tactical media. By this, we do not mean the obligatory creation of a material object, but processes in a situation where new ways of understanding and new ideas can be realized. In this way, other possibilities become feasible...
