Abstract If Rhythm Science was about the flow of things, this book is about the remix--how music, art, and literature have blurred the lines between what an artist can do and what a composer can create. In this book, the author asks artists to describe their work and compositional strategies in their own words. These are reports from the front lines on the role of sound and digital media in an information-based society. "Press play, ' Miller writes, "and this anthology says 'here goes.'" The groundbreaking mix CD that accompanies this book features Nam Jun Paik, the Dada Movement, John Cage, Sonic Youth, and many other examples of avant-garde music. Most of the CD's content comes from the archives of Sub Rosa, a legendary record label that has been the benchmark for archival sounds since the beginnings of electronic music.
