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.

When: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 8 p.m.
Where: UCSB Campbell Hall, 574 Mesa Rd., Santa Barbara
Cost: $19 - $35

The Return of the Circus Maximus

Officials in Rome, IT are planning on reviving the Circus Maximus with chariot races. Ben Hurrrrrrrr!

“The races will last for three days, starting from October 17, 2009… Chariot racers from around the world are expected to compete,” Franco Calo, one of the promoters, said.

He said the races would be held at the Circus Maximus, an ancient chariot racing venue which is now a park.

Chariot racers are, understandably, far and few between, and anyone hoping to participate will have to take lessons before heading for the starting line.
