Paul Miller travels to India to explore climate change, rivers
Update: about Miller's trip to India in his own words.
Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky, has a history of mixing sound and science to explore climate change. In 2007, he traveled to Antarctica to create an acoustic portrait of the changing ice fields there.
鈥淚 showed people how arts, science and culture can interact to counter the momentum of climate change and reframe the debate on anthropogenic actions,鈥 he explains.
DJ Spooky is in India now to work on similar compositions about water, cities and climate change and has decided to call his album "The Heart of a River."
Rivers are networks, he says, and they amplify network effects because where we have rivers, civilizations evolve beyond the unpredictable. He has the world鈥檚 two oldest cities, Madurai and Varanasi, among others in mind and with the help of collected data wants to build a musical portrait that will reflect how the Ganges, the Vaigai and the other rivers interact with their cities.
