Marcus Schmickler& Julian Rohrhuber

This CD version comes in multicoloured jewel-case with silver foil sticker! The question whether it is possible to "perceive changes in a society through changes in its music" is a point of departure for an investigation in the sonification of number systems in 'Politics Of Frequency.' After all, as it seems, "music and economy share a fundamental object, number." With reference to Alain Badious writing 'Le Nombre Et Les Nombres', Marcus Schmickler and Julian Rohrhuber trace out how number governs contemporary economics, human sciences, and finally our everyday life, following the assumption that we don't know numbers well enough to be able to build an economy on their basis. The sonification of special problems in the theory of number offers a form of a break with the ubiquitous demand for self-evidence.
