Sonic Subversion: The Undead Cargo of Cries

Sonic Subversion: The Undead Cargo of Cries -

Dr Tim Gregory and artist/shoplifter Melletios Kyriakidis explore how screaming has evolved into a language of resistance. They trace its journey from the harrowing cries of slavery to contemporary forms of sonic protest.

Improvisational music as a descendant of historical screams, debating notions of "art boredom" and "laborious discord". The synthesise of these ideas into a theory of screaming as resistance, drawing parallels between past and present forms of sonic rebellion.

Using the undead as a metaphor, Tim and Melletios position the oppressed as zombies whose screams carry both historical trauma and the power of ongoing resistance, challenging the conventional understanding of language, music, and dissent in patriarchal systems.
