That Subliminal Kid
Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid is known worldwide for creating musical and visual projects. He is inspired by philosophers, economists, and history of jazz, rock, and a mixture of a number of genres combined. He feels that it’s important to use a combination of visuals and text along with music to create a sort of collage to express his thoughts and ideas. He believes that the studio is the instrument in which sound, art and literature are all merged to create new pieces. They are all similar in terms of the freedom of creativity each one embraces and in some ways are interconnected especially music and art, which to his belief are inseparable. He likes to include modern day events and issues, different sounds of languages, devices we use every day and many other visuals from all around the globe, in to his projects. I feel that DJ Spooky is unlike any other DJ I have ever heard of, in a good way that is. He likes to have fun with the variety of sounds and visuals and is very much interested in the current day events as well as historical events such as, the financial crisis, the African American presidency, eight years of the critical war on terror etc. To my understanding, DJ Spooky likes to play around with the idea of what is considered normal music, and in the twentieth century what is the right approach to making mixed and vibrant music that takes the listeners away from the whole R&B flow and develop their interest in the deeper meaning of music.
