Global Warming
South Pole Spin
This DJ mixes music and graphics to bring a novel interpretation of Antarctica in climate flux.

Writer, musician, and composer Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. DJ Spooky, is taking the sights and sounds of Antarctica on a world tour. His creation, Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica, is a 70-minute collage of aural and visual elements that creates a portrait of global warming. During the show, classical musicians play Miller’s original score in front of a video montage of icebergs, scientific charts, and photos of earlier Antarctic expeditions. A headphone-clad Miller stands before a soundboard, mixing in the sounds of ice creaking, penguins chattering, and waves splashing that he recorded during a 2008 trip to Antarctica.
