DJ Spooky/Paul D. Miller?s large scale multimedia performance work is an acoustic portrait of a rapidly changing continent. Sinfonia Antarctica transforms Miller?s first person encounter with the harsh, dynamic landscape of Antarctica into multimedia portraits with music composed from the different geographies that make up the land mass. Field recordings from a portable studio, set up to capture the acoustic qualities of Antarctic ice forms, reflect a changing and even vanishing environment under duress. Coupled with historic, scientific, and geographical visual material, Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica is a seventy minute performance, creating a unique and powerful moment around man?s relationship with nature.
