The bonding between the ravers is too strong! The police and councils will never tear us apart.’ In-ter-dance Magazine1 1 ‘Letters’, In-Ter-Dance (Worthing), Jul. 1993. 3 Introduction Rave culture arrived in Britain in the late 1980s, almost a decade into the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, and reached its zenith in the mid 1990s. Although academics contest the definition of the term 'rave’, Sheila Henderson’s characterization encapsulates the basic formula. She describes raves as having ‘larger than average venues’, ‘music with 120 beats per minute or more’, ‘ubiquitous drug use’, ‘distinctive dress codes’ and ‘extensive special effects’.2 Another significant ‘defining’ feature of the rave subculture was widespread consumption of the drug methylenedioxyphenethylamine (MDMA), otherwise known as Ecstasy.3 In 1996, the government suggested that over one million Ecstasy tablets were consumed every week.4 Nicholas Saunders claims that at the peak of the drug’s popularity, 10% of 16-25 year olds regularly consumed Ecstasy.5 The mass media has been instrumental in shaping popular understanding of this recent phenomenon. The ideological dominance of Thatcherism, in the 1980s and early 1990s, was reflected in the one-sided discourse presented by the British mass media.

  • Spiritual Technologies and Altering Consciousness in Contemporary Counterculture* Graham St John
    CHAPTER 10 Spiritual Technologies and Altering Consciousness in Contemporary Counterculture* Graham St John Introduction With a focus on virtual reality, techno-rave culture, and “psychedelic trance,” this chapter explores practices of consciousness alteration within contemporary countercultures. By contemporary, I mean the period from the 1960s to the present, with the chapter addressing the continuing leg- acy of earlier quests for consciousness expansion. Central to the discus- sion is the development and application of spiritual technologies (cyber, digital, and chemical) and the appeal of traditional cultures in the lifestyles of those sometimes referred to as “modern primitives.” I also pay attention to specific individuals, “techno-tribes,” cultural formations and events heir to and at the intersection of these developments, with special observations drawn from the Boom Festival—Portugal’s carnival of consciousness. Fur- thermore, the chapter considers the prevalence of DiY consciousness echoed in practices of modern shamanism. As the contiguity between altering consciousness and altering culture is explored, the chapter considers the psychological and political dimensions of that which has been variously held as “consciousness” among spokespersons and participants within visionary-, arts-, and techno-cultures. *Portions of this chapter are adapted from “Neotrance and the Psychedelic Festival” by Graham St John. Published in Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture,1(1), 35–64, 2009. 204 Altering Consciousness Psychedelic Experience and Consciousness It is necessary to begin with a discussion of the 1960s countercultural milieu, whose quest for and techniques of experience are a continuing leg- acy found in the conditions of ecstatic embodiment and visionary mind- states charted in this chapter.

  • From Live Coding to Virtual Being
    Live Coding and Machine Listening Nick Collins Durham University, Department of Music [email protected] ABSTRACT Live coding control of machine listening processes, or more radically, machine listening control of live coding, provides an exciting area of crossover between two research frontiers in computer music. is article surveys the state of the art, and reports a number of experimental projects that point to potentially productive further directions. 1. Introduction Live coding has established itself as a viable and productive method of computer music performance and prototyping, embracing the immedicacy of modern computer programming languages (Collins et al. 2003; Ward et al. 2004; Blackwell and Collins 2005; Brown and Sorensen 2009; Collins 2011; McLean 2011; Magnusson 2014). New avenues in interfacing for programming are being embraced, including tangible computing of unit generator graphs and musical sequences (see for example Mónica Rikić’s buildacode), natural language processing (e.g., Craig Laa’s oth) and computer vision (e.g., Nik Hanselmann’s bodyfuck (2009) brainfuck interface). Performance ventures range from the current vogue for algoraves, showcasing generative and interactive creation of electronic dance music (Collins and McLean 2014) to contemporary dance and live arts. Complementing existing work, this paper explores the interaction of live coding with machine listening, from listening functionality within existing performance systems towards the use of live audio analysis as programming interface itself.

  • Victor Turner and Electronic Dance Music Culture Graham St John {
    Chapter Seven Trance Tribes and Dance Vibes: Victor Turner and Electronic Dance Music Culture Graham St John { Is there any one of us who has not known this moment when compatible peo- ple—friends, congeners—obtain a fl ash of lucid mutual understanding on the existential level, when they feel that all problems, not just their problems, could be resolved, whether emotional or cognitive, if only the group which is felt (in the fi rst person) as “essentially us” could sustain its intersubjective illumina- tion. (Turner 1982a: 48) Does anyone who has experienced the benevolent, expectant, and even mil- lenarian “vibe” of a dance party not recognize what Turner meant by this statement?1 Excavating and renovating his ideas, scholars of electronic dance music culture (EDMC)2 have indeed begun looking to Turner for insights. While other youth, music, and alternative cultural phenomena—including Deadheads (Sardiello 1994), New Age Travelers (Hetherington 1998, 2000), the Maleny “Fire Event” (Lewis and Dowsey-Magog 1993), ConFest (St John 1997, 2001a) and Burning Man (Gilmore and Van Proyen 2005; Kozinets 2002)—have received illumination via Turnerian thought, EDMC (especially the genre and culture of “trance”) stands to gain from its heuristic insights. Though EDMCs have received growing attention within contemporary cul- tural and ethnographic studies—with, for instance, the study of acid house raves (Redhead 1993), international “house” (Rietveld 1998), clubbing (e.g., Jackson 2004; Malbon 1999; Pini 2001; Thornton 1995), and post-rave (see St John 2001b) cultures serving to buttress or introduce varying theoreti- 149 150 Victor Turner and Contemporary Cultural Performance cal positions post-CCCS (Birmingham’s Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies)—“trance” as a countercultural EDMC has been little understood or studied.
