The audio included above attempts to show not only the lecture and the subsequent afterparty of “Music and Pyrrhonism Without Us” but also the Pyrrhonism inherent to the conditions of the event itself. Given two dyadic event conditionals—audience vs. lecturer and event vs. document—and the propositional content of the lecture, the included audio functions in accordance with the Pyrrhonian equipollence and suspension of such conditionals by synchronously presenting both the recorded lecture and the afterparty. On its playback, one might thereby appropriately suspend one’s belief rather than disbelief toward the audio as sufficient document. —Kieran Daly
