Datacide Nine appeared in spring 2006. This first reprint of an earlier issue features the complete text of the original edition, but has been newly laid out and arranged. The original editorial (opposite page) is followed by the main features, while the scene reports were moved to the back of the issue. We’re happy to have this long deleted issue back in print; it features some of the most read articles on the datacide web site that are still relevant and of interest today. The original editorial reflects the particular historical situation in which the issue originally appeared: The repression against Teknivals as well as the particular (wider) political situations, while technological developments and economic problems are covered in passing. Out of the ensuing crisis of the already completely marginalized counter culture developed the desire to start something new, and we announced that Datacide Ten would be the last issue. This has of course not been the case. Instead, we felt re-invigorated enough after the 2008 issue of Datacide Ten and the accompanying conference to keep going, and the last few years have seen a consolidation of our release schedule and an expansion in size and content.October 12, 2013 saw the release of the new issue, number Thirteen, and yet again it is the biggest issue so far. There was an event with talks, concerts and party in Berlin on that day. We were present at the Anarchist Bookfair in London on October 19. The next day we did a small launch event in London. Datacide was presented for the first time in the U.S. with a soliparty on November 15 and a conference on November 17. Datacide tabled at the Los Angeles Eastside Zine Market on December 8, and the Art Book Fair from January 30-February 3, 2014. Rather than trying to increase the frequency of Datacide, we would like to complement it with additional books and pamphlets.Please consider taking out a subscription to help us achieve these aims!

Of all living composers, Dumitrescu is the one who has most exploded sound. Dumitrescu’s work is a negation, from the depths, of everything in contemporary music symptomatic of distraction, of banalisation, and of a radical loss of purpose. His music is not a new convolution in the knot of modern music, but an unravelling of the curse.Tim Hodgkinson As a creator of radical music that breaks convention, riding on the edge of the classical avant garde onto realms more closely associated with the likes of Nurse With Wound or The Hafler Trio, Iancu Dumitrescu has the talent to lure you in, mystify and startle with unnerving ferocity.Alan Freeman   ContentsBen Watson: Why The AMM Says ‘Listen to Dumitrescu!’    1Ben Watson: Spectrum Festival Preview    3Ronsen, Peyret, Leroy: Iancu Dumitrescu - Acousmatic Provoker    7Ben Watson: Statement at Conway Hall, Spectrum 2008    38In Resonance with Iancu Dumitrescu and Ana-Maria Avram     39Out to Lunch: Our Kinetic Kynicism Knows No Bounds    84Iancu Dumitrescu: On the Inside Looking In    87Tim Hodgkinson Interviews Iancu Dumitrescu    95Tim Hodgkinson: A Note on Phenomenology    107Costin Cazaban: An Adventure in Experimental Music    109Eugene Thacker: Pulse Demons (extract)    125Andy Wilson and Ben Watson: The Music of Iancu Dumitrescu     131Ben Watson: Spectral Music at the Beginning of the 21st Century    159Guillaume Ollendorff: At the Heart of Chaos    163Guillaume Ollendorff: The Society of the Spectrum    171Tim Hodgkinson: The Tasks of the Composer    193Iancu Dumitrescu: Reply to Tim Hodgkinson    207Tim Hodgkinson: Reply to Iancu Dumitrescu    213Ryan Kirk: Interviews Dumitrescu    215Ana-Maria Avram: Composer From Bucharest, Romania    237Iancu Dumitrescu: Biographical Notes    245Iancu Dumitrescu: Catalogue of Works    253Pressbook    263Discography    285Related Recordings    359Index    369

Der in der Publikationsreihe «theorie.org» erschienene Band liefert eine knappe Einführung in die Kritische Theorie, für die keine besonderen Vorkenntnisse nötig sind. Es wird erstmals der Versuch einer Bilanz der Kritischen Theorie zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts unternommen – das Dilemma politischen Engagements in der Gegenwart immer im Blick. Der Autor zeichnet die Geburt der Frankfurter Schule infolge der Krise des Marxismus nach, positioniert diese im Verhältnis zu orthodoxem Marxismus und bürgerlicher Wissenschaft und erklärt zentrale Begriffe wie etwa instrumentelle Vernunft, autoritärer Charakter und Dialektik der Aufklärung.Daran anknüpfend stellt er die Spannweite möglicher Antworten der Kritischen Theorie auf das Praxisproblem heraus: Wie soll, wie kann sich politisch verhalten, wird diese Welt aus tiefstem Herzen ändern will, aber erkennen muss, dass die Chancen dazu verschwindend gering sind? Dieser Frage wird anhand einer Gegenüberstellung der Positionen von Adorno und Marcuse nachgegangen, die wegen ihres ganz unterschiedlichen Bezuges auf die politischen Bewegungen ihrer Zeit oft als Antipoden wahrgenommen wurden.
