What price does the planet pay for music? Where has the material presence of music gone now that it comes to consumers mostly in the form of data on portable devices? What is the environmental price of the way we live musically today? The music scholar Kyle Devine has written a provocative book that sets out to answer these questions. This week, in the final episode of our first season, we talk about Devine’s sometimes surprising arguments, consider what they mean for our own projects, and turn towards music from a more-than-human future: AI jazz.
