DJ Spooky Performs Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica
Where has DJ Spooky (originally born under the handle Paul D. Miller) been? Why hasn’t there been anything new from the headmaster of illbient? He has been trudging through the snow of Antarctica with a ministudio.
“It’s all about hitting the reset button,” said Miller on the phone from New York last week. “I wanted to see how much we are conditioned by the urban setting, because when you think about it, hip-hop, techno are essentially urban narratives. So I decided to take it as far away as possible-Antarctica wasn’t really made for humans. I wanted to see how that world would sound.”
As of today this hasn’t been performed in public yet. Anyone close to Santa Barbara really should go see him tomorrow night.
