Paul D. Miller / Dj Spooky: Sound Unbound

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.
Rhythm Science author Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid asks artists to describe 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 an 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.

In collaboration with the Weltkulturen Museum Frankfurt am Main.
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
