DJ Spooky Does Chicago History
If you had to cast a modern day Renaissance Man, you'd find that the role fits DJ-Philosopher-Writer-Conceptual Artist Paul Miller (AKA DJ Spooky) like a glove.
On the heels of the opening of his "Link City: Chicago" (PDF) exhibit at the Art Institute, DJ Spooky will bring his interest in Urban Studies to the Chicago History Museum where he'll perform a Chicago-themed Subliminal Strings set which is being hyped as a "rich tapestry of sound and images that explore the idea of the city as a form in constant flux, an energy force continually changing over time".
It's a predictably eclectic offering from DJ Spooky who has most recently been working with the Trojan Records catalog. No one does the combination of high concept and high energy quite like DJ Spooky.
DJ Spooky performs at the Chicago History Museum on Saturday, Nov. 17th, at 7:00PM. Tickets ($30 / $15 Students) are still available.
