Paul will be at the Tattered Cover on Tuesday, August 26, at 7:30 pm in our LoDo store. (This is our venue at the corner of 16th and Wynkoop).
SOUND UNBOUND is Paul D. Miller's follow-up to his award-winning first book RHYTHM SCIENCE. First and foremost, SOUND UNBOUND is 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 an essay by media activist and artist Naeem Mohaimen.
It's a rip-mix-burn-lecture lasting about 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.
It will be followed by an autographing.
You should be there with us. It's a cutting-edge piece of work.
