CYCLES AFTER MAN 




Sound design introspection with single cycle waveforms. 

Cassette tape and streaming on Bandcamp.  

“Both Man1and Man2 function as specific genres of the human, each instituting its own descriptive statement of what it means to be human, and each doing so by instituting a corresponding mode of sub-human Otherness….If we are to move beyond the coloniality of being, we must unsettle the overrepresentation of Man1 and Man2 as the human, and bring into being a new conception of the human as hybridly biological and narratively instituted.”

+ Sylvia Wynter, “Unsettling the Coloniality of Being/Power/Truth/Freedom: Towards the Human, After Man, Its Overrepresentation—An Argument,” 2003.
