Abstract
This reflection riffs off O’Neill’s work to discuss weird materiality and nomadological learning through speakers, phones, and social media. Weird materialities are the intertwingled assemblages of human and nonhuman subjectivities that take both noumenal and phenomenal forms; that is to say, it is the “things” which exist as materialities that are not entirely material because they are mixed with humans and nonhuman actors. This response focuses on one assemblage of weird materiality—social media—in relation to music learning. It then narrows the discussion to focus on what most learners use to access musical social media: the “phone” and, occasionally and more specifically, its speakers.
