Series: Out of Tune

Can we understand electronic music? What concepts for approaching this sphere are still valid now that music has long since broken away from traditional contexts, criteria and listening habits? How do we get our bearings given that electronic music has not yet been able to establish any generally valid concepts of musical understanding, but rather that theoretical approaches from a range of very different disciplines of music but also art rank as equals? And yet we still draw on criteria of understanding music – even if they cannot as yet be named explicitly.

“Out of Tune” explores these questions as to a comprehending approach to music – and thus of its contents – with the aid of various supposedly traditional starting points and different forms of presentation and interpretations.
