MUS 19Blacktronika: Afrofuturism in Electronic Music
Explores the lineage of electronic music’s Black pioneers, who have been integral but overlooked in the discussion around the creation and development of house, techno, drum and bass, and experimental music. These musics were developed with sociopolitical movements at the foundation of the sounds. We will investigate the African diaspora lens through the artists’ usage of science fiction, technology, and futurist ideologies.
