ZUKUNFTSMUSIK is a production entity which operates under the conceit that something is awry. Something has changed; things are different; we have gone through a transformation which is decisive and comparable with the older convulsions of modernization, industrialization, and socialist revolution.
ZUKUNFTSMUSIK was borne in the third machine age. It is a product of the age of multinational capital. It is a response to the emergence of new kind of flatness and depthlessness, a new kind of superficiality in the most literal sense, evident in contemporary art, particularly in the darling of the mass media, film.
The modern fact is that we no longer believe in this world. We do not even believe in the events which happen to us, love, death, as if they only half concerned us. . . . it is the world which looks to us like a bad film.
In our socially saturated age of pastiche with its uncountable opportunities for identifying with televised or mediated personalities, we can ask ourselves, "what should I see tonight?" or "what should I do forever?"
This is our question.
We are currently located in Berlin, Germany.
We were formerly located in San Francisco, California
-- the west coast of the world's sole superpower.
