Ep. 4: Gen Z Muzak, Corporate Rothkos & Saying "Ambient" 129 Times w/ M. Sage
Description
M. Sage aka Matthew Sage is "an American musician and intermedia artist working in the overlaps of classical/historical artistic publishing models and disruptive/democratized digital intermedia experience(s)." He also runs Cached Media, an intermedia platform of albums, objects, live streams & more.
We discuss a variety of subjects within the term "Ambient": what it means today, how it's used and abused, as well as the exciting and strange places it's going (like AI-generated ambient works made by evil corporations, allegedly.) Much less a "the current state of" kind of episode, but more a "what does it mean?". Please note: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS NO GEAR TALK.
