Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky): Sound Unbound
Tuesday 14 December 2010, 19h, Aula
In cooperation with the World Culture Museum Frankfurt am Main.
Sound Unbound is Paul D. Miller 's follow up to his award winning first book
Rhythm Science (MIT Press, 2004). First and foremost, sound
Unbound is an anthology - it's a collection of thirty-six essays that focus on the
role of the artist, composer, and writer in a world that is becoming more interconnected
every day.
In a lecture format, exploring the overall theme of sound in contemporary
art, digital media, and composition, Miller reconstructs
the history of sound and recorded media by several of the most well
known artists of their field - ranging from Brian Eno, Steve Reich,
Moby, Chuck D, and Pierre Boulez, to artists, writers and theoreticians
like Jonathan Lethem, Bruce Sterling, Manuel Delanda, and even
Islamic culture's relationship to hip hop with essay by media activist
and artist Naeem Mohaimen. In using the essays that are in Sound
Unbound, Miller makes the lecture format a cross between a formal
exploration of the issues Sound Unbound focused on, and the remix
concept that drives much of the book. It's a rip-mix-burn-lecture.

their work and compositional strategies in their own words
. These are reports from the front lines on the role of sound and digital media in
of information-based society. Miller's lecture will be
an hour, and is Accompanied by his use of many historic texts, rare audio recordings and films
, to Demonstrate the complex relationship between text and art
in a multimedia context.
