Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Sound Unbound," copyright, sampling, and a recent film project from Antarctica, Terra Nova. This event took place on August 19, 2008

If Rhythm Science was about the flow of things, Sound Unbound 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 Sound Unbound, Rhythm Science author Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid 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. The topics are as diverse as the contributors, including Google's own Daphne Keller.
