DJ Spooky-"Subliminal Strings" January 26, 2008
Boston, Massachusetts 02210
Blurring the lines between hip-hop, electronic and classical music, DJ Spooky, that Subliminal Kid, will “live sample” a string trio while building bridges between digital culture and the traditions of composers as diverse as Bach, Gotan Project, and Radiohead. DJ Spooky, aka Paul Miller, is a conceptual artist, writer, and musician. His written work has appeared in such publications as Village Voice, Artforum, and Raygun. He has worked with such composers as Pierre Boulez, Steve Reich and Iannis Xenakis, as well as performers including Yoko Ono and Sonic Youth. His artwork was included in the 2007 Venice Biennale in the African Pavilion.

I'm pretty sure this sold out.

I attended this. Frankly, it was kinda boring.
I had more fun the night before, when Paul spun for ICA's "Experiment." That was a blast.

He was really good at the Boston Modern Orchestra Project last May, too.

don't know if you all saw the reviews, but the Subliminal Strings performance was universally panned savaged in the Globe, Phoenix, and Herald. See here
The first line of the Herald review was way over-the-top and exceedingly harsh: "If you gave DJ Spooky an enema, you could fit him in a tin can." sheeeit.

$20 general admission; $15 members, students, and seniors
Should be a fantastic performance.
DJ Spooky performed Anthony De Ritis' Devolution: A Concerto for DJ and Orchestra with the BMOC at Sanders last spring, which was quite an impressive gig.
