Draft for the workshop "Musical Perspectives" (University of Warwick, 18-19th Juny).

In this sense, I will claim that Burroughs' work in general and his aforementioned analysis in particular, offer an interesting 'toolbox' that may prove useful in organizing social and political rebellion. In particular, I will focus my attention on the use of the cut-up technique in The Electronic Revolution (1970), the utilization of infra-sounds and the importance of being in silence. Finally, I will conclude that this meaningful revolution is just gaining momentum across the world due to the current expansion of technology.
