The song “Destroying the commons,” produced by Widerberg in collaboration with journalist Ian Urbina, is a piece of electronic music, more specifically belonging to the Melodic Techno genre, released in 2021 and is featured within “The Noam Chomsky Music project.”

Widerberg, a pseudonym for Cemre Korkmaz, is a Turkish producer with a style that blends Melodic Techno and Progressive House. Ian Urbina is a journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner, creator of various projects including “The Noam Chomsky Music project.”

This project involves more than 50 artists who have created musical productions on which clips of lectures and interviews by Noam Chomsky, known for his opposition to the linear system present in today’s society, his scathing critiques of U.S. foreign policy and his sobering insights into the intimate relationship between capitalism and what he calls the “climate catastrophe, “ have been placed.

This project seeks to pass on the values of these speeches by making them accessible to even the youngest people by setting the most powerful parts of Chomsky’s speeches to emotional music.
