On a humid Miami night where techno melts into dembow, samba, and ballroom, a first rave becomes a baptism of sound, sweat, and transformation.
Sonic Worlding is a regular Norient column. It invites writers and artists from all over the world to contemplate a music or sound-related phenomenon that has recently struck them, and put this into relation to the world in which they live. It encourages to think and speculate with and not only about music. Where most music writing treats music as something that can be categorised and placed in pre-determined boxes (personality cults, end-of-year lists, genres, origins, styles), Sonic Worlding is interested in the vast potential of rhythms, ideas, and worlds that are still to be unlocked, attempting to spin new webs of thought spanning the globe. Edited and curated by Norient editor Philipp Rhensius.
