Bureaucratic Resonance presents music production emanating from and adjacent to bureaucratic systems, administrative environments, and institutional culture. The program features archival material alongside music inspired by offices, corporate and governmental procedures, spoken word compositions and works that refer to bureaucratic language, processes and aesthetics. While the transmission ranges across different periods, the main focus lies in the late twentieth century, particularly the 1970s and 1980s.
