Atmosphere by ɟɐɥɯᴉ ɯnɹsʎᴉp

Thinking in terms of atmospheric relations is to go
beyond theories of music that
ultimately constrict understandings of listening, sound,
musical affect to a narrow idea of (bodily) perception,
that consider music and atmosphere as
a relationality of subject and object.
Rather than asking how a (felt-)body responds
to sound or how a rhythm affects a body.

In contrast to the fluidity and continuity of affective fields, atmospheric relations
describes those sonic-social structures, and their related atmospheric practices,
that stabilise an affective field or social situation by imbuing it with homogeneity
and thereby charging it with identity and difference.

A repetition of atmospheric situations may thus feed into
the stabilisation of collectives or corroborate structures of oppression.
Music and sound are highly conducive here because they don’t simply affect individual bodies nor collectives of individual bodies but (equally) manifest as modulations of a whole space, situation or event.
In other words, atmosphere describes a mediation that is not simply social but sonic and musical.
