Kode9 has a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Warwick and has published a book, Sonic Warfare: Sound, Affect, and the Ecology of Fear.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kode9

I have seen his book before and am thinking about buying it as I imagine it will be a good read however a Ph.D in philosophy is an achievement in academia alone not to mention for a music producer (Don't hate me :D ). Does anyone know anything more on this (Wikipedia can be very loose on evidence at times) because if it is true my respect for Kode 9 will be even greater than it already is.

I think I might buy it. 24.65 on Amazon.co.uk which, for a Ph.D thesis (I'm guessing this is it?), is good money seeing as they can easily exceed 100, and the sheer fact that it is Kode 9 would make me want to read it ahead of any other author (unless of course Burial wrote a book but then i would not sleep until it was complete :o ).

Makes me wonder...just how old is Kode 9? PHD's take a minute to complete.

Book sounds really interesting.

He teaches at the University of East London - MA Sonic Culture http://www.uel.ac.uk/programmes/hss/pos ... ulture.htm -
A unique understanding of the proliferation and mutation of sonic culture in light of recent understanding of cultural viruses.
Deep, i think that is the same sort of stuff that his book Sonic Warfare is about
His PhD is in philosophy, from Warick uni :?
