Ghost-Nonhuman-Subject

My favorite musicians had one thing in common: they are able to deal with ghosts, non-humans, and non-humans as "subjects" in their artworks.

Bringing in the other as a subject while hiding their own identity as much as possible. The other as a "subject," not as a "tool" to make themselves stand out.

Bacterial phages, ichneumun, sodium sulfate, lichen, earthworms (regenwurm in German it looks cool, but just earthworms in Korean), the genus, Ampfer (plants). These are the materials that our favorite musicians have titled to their tracks.

From bacteriophages, which are between living and non-living things, to the material, they brought them into the work.

In addition to his work, Rodelius also worked in nurse guide of dying in real life, accompanying people who were nearing the end of their lives and were not human in the usual sense.

Aki Onda is not my favorite, but he is on the rising (in my inner world), and he already released an album called "make visible the ghost" with the deceased Paul Clipson as the subject and the dead Nam June Paik as the subject.(nam june's spirit was speaking to me)

If politically corrected-oriented novels and movies put people with various marginalized identities, such as women, third world, and queer..who have not been represented in the art  works, in the position of the subject.

My favorite musicians are the ones who are able to put non-human-ghosts, plants, insects, and matter in the place as the subject of art pieces. Not just as concepts, but also musically. 

In their music, you get the sense that they've brought the other into the center of the piece, rather than making themselves the center of attention.

The reason I'm afraid of their music is because I feel like I'm losing the sense of normality and humanity that I have to live with, that I need in order to fit in with the normal society.

The more I listen to this music, the more I feel distanced from normal emotions, which makes it harder for me to laugh at points where normal people laugh, and harder for me to cry at points where normal people cry, which makes me "pretend" to have exaggerated emotions when in reality, most of the time, I have no emotions at all.

My favorite people are both ambient musicians, and the genre was originally created by Brian Eno in bed when he was hospitalized after a car accident, not when he was well. A genre that was created while his body was so broken that he couldn't even control the volume of his speakers. From the beginning, he was far away from the everyday senses.
