Why is "beyond soul" something that can say its piece and expire, but the same can't be said of soul? Isn't that exactly what happened when it was replaced? It had had its moment.
Maybe it never truly went beyond soul, just away from it.Why is "beyond soul" something that can say its piece and expire, but the same can't be said of soul? Isn't that exactly what happened when it was replaced? It had had its moment.
What's 'soul boy'?And just for clarity, don't confuse what I'm saying with 'soul boy'
To me it's someone from Essex who is into rare groove and stuff (in the 80s probably)... that's totally what I thought he was defending anyway.What's 'soul boy'?
If soul's a constant we wouldn't be able to lose or move away from it.

What is soul?
How would you distinguish between heart and soul?What about heart though, I think it's always been much rarer and harder for electronic music to have a heart because there is no voice.
Surely the same goes for the impulse to move beyond soul then? It just cycles round. You get good enough at something to take it apart, you reassemble it, you learn the ins and outs of the new assembly then you take it apart again.Everything is in constant flux. Anicca. Evolution. But some things stay, even if they're dormant. The soul is going nowhere.
Perhaps our predicament is we're clever enough to pull things apart but not clever enough to reassemble them in any meaningful way.Surely the same goes for the impulse to move beyond soul then?

All cool tracks, but the industrial aesthetic is fundamentally a dead end to me just as much as the ironic take that Senni represents. Or even 'the everything is algorithms!!' crew aka Mark Fell et al. For me, non-human centerered electronic music need to point to something else than industry or digitalia to gain momentum again. Possibly connect with nature w/o intermediary new agey or folk-y or otherwise nostalgic/naive sentiment.
A return to soul does not end up with Senni, imo.
Soul = truth
Jeff grappling with the slipping away of the human here.
Senni's a comfortable art school student trying to be edgy/interesting. Hipster shit, basically. It's not interesting, it's vacuous. Inhuman.
