Resonance: A Guided Listening Session on Music Before the Internet + Aamar (DJ set)

Show & Culture

A 90-minute guided listening session led by LusterClub in collaboration with Nicole Olenskaia, researcher in Public History. Together, they trace the hidden paths through which music traveled the world before the internet: pirate radio antennas, cassette tapes passed hand to hand, rave hotlines, vinyl imports, and the oldest instruments ever found. The session unfolds in four movements: from the audience's own first musical memories, through underground networks in the UK, Brazil, and South Africa, to the birth of mass broadcasting and the question of whose sounds get archived or forgotten, and finally to a time before any recording existed, when music was ritual, resistance, and survival. This is not a lecture. There are no slides. The audience listens together. Songs are played. Stories are shared. Questions remain open. "Resonance" sits at the intersection of sound, collective memory, and histories that travel through people rather than institutions.
