Authentic emotion itself can function as a machinic refrain, not its opposite

Evidence

Scritti’s erasure of soul goes by way of a neurotically noteperfect, ultra-fastidious simulation of a hyper-Americanised “language of love”. It is no longer a matter of technical machines versus real emotional beings, but of “authentic emotion” as itself the refraining of signifying and sonorous machines. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1189
