Waking up to an everyday landscape purified and made strange by snow on the day after seeing DJ Spooky’s Subliminal Strings: Nature Morte musical performance was a perfect reflection of the concert itself. Starting out with a familiar, instrument-based backdrop, Spooky built an electronic scaffolding on top that both complemented the more traditional sounds and allowed them to become even more breathtaking. While built on recognizable notes and tonal systems, the conversational interchange of Spooky’s equipment and the musicians’ instruments created an uncannily attractive yet innovative performance that was perfectly echoed in the unheimliche buildings, streets, and open spaces we all saw this morning.
