In his session and at the DLD Moscow Night, Dj Spooky (@djspooky) used his innovative Dj software to highlight the new forms of electronic music that App’s have fostered. The Dj Mixer App has been downloaded over 11 million times and ranks as one of the top music App’s in the ITunes store. Dj Spooky has used the App in concerts over the last two years since the iPad was released by Apple. He was the first artist to have an App based concert at The Tate Modern Museum, and he has used the App he developed in a wide variety of concert settings ranging from classical music based n his Antarctic Symphony, to more club oriented contexts.

The App allows audiences to interact with ITunes in a unique and extremely dynamic fashion. It can be downloaded interenatinally in the App store: http://itunes.apple.com/app/dj-spooky/id372286781?mt=8

Nature and art: This Sunday at #DLD12, DJ Spooky aka Paul Miller sent out an “Antartic Flow” alongside musicians from Munich - powered by his free iPhone/iPad app called “DJ Spooky”.

The artist, musician and writer in his short but engaging demonstration went into the history of sound, landscape photography and the Antartica. He also reffered to M.C. Escher’s “Relativity” whose work had a strong mathematical component, and geometric distortion (tension, chaos, loops).

The principle behind the “DJ Spooky” app is that there is no band, no artist - just bits and pieces to combine into the live remix, “Antarctic Flow”. “While the digital media is reshaping the 21st century, imagination is the ultimate renewable resource”, were his final words on stage.
