lyrics

There is no scenario in which a state built upon maintaining white supremacy can effectively address racist police brutality, or economic inequality, or transphobia, or heteropatriarchy. There is no scenario in which electoral politics, the simple replacing of one bourgeois puppet by another, will give us what we need. there is no scenario in which the racialized exposure to state-sanctioned violence of various kinds will be addressed by those who actively encourage and benefit from it. Representational politics will always fail to address the needs of the dispossessed because they are structured to do so.

The track is built around a) field recordings from the protests that occurred in Oakland in the wake of Darren Wilson’s non-indictment for the murder of Mike Brown b) snippets of Joshua Clover reading his poem ‘Haecceity’ and c) Messiaen’s mode of limited transposition (in this case, the whole tone scale).

about

Bourgeois Speedball Oakland, California

Bourgeois Speedball lives in ruins. Sculpting compositions from crumbling synthesizers, samplers, and the soundscapes of Bay Area rebellions, Bourgeois Speedball organizes sound within the decaying oikos of globalized neoliberalism.
