DJ Spooky's multimedia performance piece Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica was commissioned by BAM for the 2009 Next Wave Festival; The Hopkins Center/Dartmouth College; UCSB Arts & Lectures; Melbourne International Arts Festival; and the Festival dei 2 Mondi in Spoleto, Italy. With video projections and a score composed by DJ Spooky, performed by a piano quartet, Terra Nova: Sinfornia Antarctica is a portrait of a rapidly transforming continent.

DJ Spooky's CD The Secret Song is slated for release October 6, 2009 on Thirsty Ear Records. With guest appearances by Thurston Moore, The Coup, Mike G. of the Jungle Brothers, Rob Swift of the X-Ecutioners, Mike Ladd, Vijay Iyer, and many others, The Secret Song is a manifesto about our overloaded digital culture.

German Bio:
Der Avantgardist unter den globalen Superstar DJs ist zweifelslos New Yorks DJ Spooky. Paul D. Miller, wie er mit bürgerlichem Namen heißt, begann Ende der Achtziger Jahre als Mixtape-Verkäufer auf New Yorks Straßen, nachdem er 1987 von Washington D.C. nach New York gegangen war, um ein berühmter DJ zu werden. Es folgten 16, mit allen Preisen und Auszeichnungen bedachte, Platten, die als Gäste so unterschiedliche Künstler wie Yoko Ono, Sonic Youth, Slayers Dave Lombarda oder Chuck D. (Public Enemy) versammeln, um Teil seines sphärischen Rythmus-Rauschs zu werden, der ihn so eigen macht. Berühmt wurden auch zahlreiche Film-Soundtracks von Spooky, darunter der 1998 in Cannes preisgekrönte Spielfilm "SLAM!" mit Saul Williams. Sein ganz eigene hip-Hop-Mixtur aus Drum & Bass, Dub und avantgardistischen Hip-Hop-Elementen berauschte das tanzhungrige Publikum auf den Parties der Filmfestspiele von Cannes, der Bienale von Venedig oder zahlreichen Parties für Hollywoods Film-Glamour-Welt. DJ Spooky ist ein Meister der wuchtigen tanzbaren Flächen, aber auch der atmosphärischen Scratches und Cuts, vor allem aber ein DJ der perfekten Inszenierung seiner Selbst. Legendär sind seine Hip Hop Remixes von Nick Cave und Metallica. Jüngst widmete er sich dem Remix berühmter jamaikanischer Raggae&Dancehall-Klassiker des Kult-Labels Trojan Records, denen er auf seinem neusten Album “Creation Rebel” ein futuristisches Gewand der Marke Spooky schneiderte. 2004 erschien seine Autobiografie “Rhythm Science”. Im März 2008 folgte mit “Unbound” ein philosophisches Buch über Sampling- und Mixing-Kultur. Besonders ausgeprägt ist DJ Spookys Liebe zur Literatur, deren Versatzstücke er gern und oft in seinen Mixes einbaut, darunter Gedichte von Getrude Stein, Tristan Tzara, Kurt Schwitters oder Saul Williams. DJ Spooky lebt in New York. |
