Dj Spooky
Sound Unbound
The material on this "Sound Unbound" mix is an audio essay that links artists as diverse as Marcel Duchamp, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Antonin Artaud and Allen Ginsberg. It also foregrounds some issues that I think the 21st century really needs to understand - art isn't about objects anymore. Art is a continuous investigation into humanity's place in the world, it gives us hope and tells us simply, that another world is possible, I hope you listen to the mix and think about it as another kind of text. A text that asks a simple, yet deceptively complex question: where does the 20th century end and the 21st century begin? Where do we draw the line between art and objects, art and artifacts? The jazz musician Eric Dolphy once infamously said "when you hear music, after its over, it's gone, in the air. You can never capture it again." In the era of ubiquitous computing the new vision of music is about omnipresence - the music is everywhere. DJ SPOOKY 2nd volume, perfect follow up to largely acclaimed Rhythm Science"excerpts and allegories from the Sub Rosa audio archives vol 1" (SR201 CD) - DJ Spooky remixes one more time the complete catalogue of Sub Rosa. More groovy and DJ oriented, including some unpublished audio, a part of non Sub Rosa material (Raymond Scott, Allen Ginsberg, Pamela Z etc) and a big Wave Spectrum poster, we're near here of the ultimate mix up.
