- Maatschappij en cultuur
If truth is stranger than fiction, why shouldn’t music be stranger than science fiction? Sounds manipulate space and time, unlock new dimensions and open wormholes in parallel universes. In this respect, sonic fiction does the same as fantasy literature: It distorts the present and creates space for alternative worlds.
Speakers: Sarj Lynch, Sasha Perera. Editing and production: Julia Vorkefeld. Recordings: Matthias Hartenberger. Concept and script: Arno Raffeiner.
With quotes from works by J. G. Ballard, Jimmy Carter, Becky Chambers, Kodwo Eshun, Ursula K. Le Guin, Daniel Oberhaus, Sun Ra, Holger Schulze, David Tudor, Whitney Wei.
Music:
Elysia Crampton – Morning Star-Red Glare-Sequoia Bridge;
Fatima Al Qadiri – Aftermath;
Earth, Wind & Fire – Jupiter;
Caterina Barbieri – Closest Approach to Your Orbit;
John Williams – Close Encounters of the Third Kind;

Janelle Monáe – BaBopByeYa;
Drexciya – Intro: Temple Of Dos De Agua;
