Description

This week, Paul meets New York-based, Korean-American musician Margaret Sohn aka Miss Grit. Their upcoming debut LP, Follow The Cyborg finds a personal connection between cyborg theory and her identity.  As a mixed-race, non-binary artist, Sohn has always rejected the limits of identity thrust upon them by the outside world, in favour of embracing a more fluid and complex understanding of the self. The conversation touches on Donna Haraway’s 1986 essay A Cyborg Manifesto, which uses the figure of the cyborg to urge an understanding beyond the limitations of traditional gender, feminism, and politics. Margaret and Paul talk about her work, which blends a sonic mixture of machine detail and human emotion, New York living and more. Miss Grit’s LP Follow The Cyborg is out Feb 24th on MuteThe single Lain (Phone Clone) is available nowThis episode is sponsored by Audio-TechnicaPaul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
