The extract above is from a short piece of writing originally in Swedish, translated into English here. The original text ‘Lost: a Pathology’ is featured in the third edition of Örat Idétidskrift för experimentell, kritisk och komplex musik on the subject of Förlorad Musik (Lost Music) in 2018. I touch upon perspectives of being lost in the creative sense in six epigrams, punctuated by extracts from Walter Benjamin’s other writings . The full text in Swedish is available from Örat.
