Summary
This episode explores the commodity structure of music as it has evolved from the beginning of the sheet music industry to today’s streaming environment. The second segment employs ideas from Nietzsche and Raymond Williams to articulate the way in which we feel our way in relation to the world and suggests that music contributes to our affective standing. The last segment looks at Guy Debord’s notion of the Society of the Spectacle and examines how we have moved from being to having to appearing. I then suggest ways in which streaming contributes to a new structure of feeling.
