Hauntology, Burial, and Mark Fisher: Ghosts of the past's future

In this video, I explore the otherworldly electronic music of the UK artist Burial, and what UK philosopher, lecturer, and writer Mark Fisher thought of it.

Amazing channel. Found it today

This is such a great video. Untrue is such a unique album that rings of the aftermath of rave and lost futures in the 90s. Once rushing toward us the future now seems flat and dead.

Forgive by Burial is hauntingly beautiful. One of my favorite tracks off that album.

the part at 6:20 on the crackling is something that has been on mind a lot. u summed it up perfectly. real and imperfect - two terms that should really be interchangeable, but not in a negative way. the fragility of music on wax is like a metaphor in itself of these rave scenes in the wider cultural timeline - the scratches and varying degrees of pressing quality added a character, now undermined by the polished sounds of the digital as an unneeded imperfection.

Thank you. I've been obsessed with Burial since I first heard him in 2006 or 2007, and I collect his music on vinyl. I recently met Mark Fisher and I am happy to have musical and ideological coincidences, but I am worried that I have the same illness as him.

i love burial

[@oglonglankin]

Hiders is the tune. The perfect example of Burials hauntology.

[@tallon3925]

Love your work here

1:33 you just described dubstep. 😅 Burial wasn’t unique for creating dubstep in the slightest, but he was unique for what he did with the genre. Burial’s dubstep completely transcended the genre, and people began calling it “future garage”.

Thanks, interesting. What did you find noteworthy about the two recommended tracks?

[@jjpphilosophy7307]

I think they're just accessible for someone just getting into him, they have the most obvious old school jungle beat vibe but they're still distinctly burial

[@Stevie-J]

On hauntology and artists - we are "haunted" by their unrealized dreams AND by their body of work. Modern technology perfectly stores and reproduces their art. This may seem unimportant but it's notable because it was not possible for the vast majority of human history
