26 August 2010 is a Cinema Day in the Russian Federation. To celebrate this day Creative Association «Cultural Enlightenment» and Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky/USA) will demonstrate outstanding masterpiece of Soviet cinema created by Dzigi Vertov «Donbass Symphony/Enthusiasm» with live post synchronization.

Once Chaplin had commented «Enthusiasm» of Dzigi Vertov as «one of the most impressing visual and acoustic symphonies». Vertov used real life sounds, noises, industrial rackets as part of image. In the 60-s this technique was called «concrete music». Vertov's crew recorded sounds, noises but they pioneered synchronized shooting: simultaneous shooting and audio recording. He strived to produce sound films and not dub them. This film introduced real life sounds arranged in symphonic structure. German newspaper reviews emphasized art integrity of «Enthusiasm» composition. Hanns Eisler, composer, regarded this work as a manual not only for directors but for musicians since ««Enthusiasm» is an utmost genius of sound films». Charles Chaplin had greatly admired the film «I could hardly ever imagine that industrial noise can be arranged in such a harmony. For me «Enthusiasm» is the most exciting symphony ever. Mr. Dzigi Vertov is a musician: he must train professors and not listen to their arguments».

Now, the artist experimented with famous film and live sounds. DJ Spooky had first tried to re-mix Soviet movie «Cinema of an Eye/Cinema of Truth» of Dzigi Vertov: the former wanted to demonstrate interest for realism and synthesis found in archives which are so much in demand in 21-st century and connect it with the concepts originated by Vertov. DJ Spooky rescored and re-mixed Vertov's films utilizing modern art, editing, composing, artist, writer. This is the first step to understand influence of 20^th century cinema on aesthetics of 21^st century info media.

«Spin» included DJ Spooky (also performing under Sublimal Kid pseudonym) in the USA ten-most-influential-musicians rating (electronic music) and Esquire listed him in «100 Best People in The World», he is one of the prominent artist. Being a writer, conceptual artist as good as DJ and musician he is regarded as modern Illbient culture originator. DJ Spooky's music is a melting pot of hip-hop, ambient, dub and drum'n'bass elements. Having released album of re-mixes «Necropolis» (under «Knitting Factory Records» label), DJ Spooky started own projects and produced two things under «Asphodel» label (in 1996 — LP «Songs of Dead Dreamer», in 1998 — EP «Synthetic Fury»), heaps of re-mixes (e.g. «For Whom the Bell Tolls» of Metallica, Nick Cave's «Red Right Hand»).

Except composing DJ Spooky wrote several books and keeps writing for magazines (monthly column in Paper, regular articles in Art Byte, Rap Pages and others).

DJ Spooky is one of the most original personalities of New-York's underground of 90s, author of 5 albums, numerous essays on cultural issues, multi media art big expert. He cooperated with Sonic Youth, Arto Lindsay, Scanner. «Dj Spooky» pseudonym is borrowed from William Burroughs's character: «I always adored his literature puzzles: cutting the excerpts out and mixing them in — this is so similar to dj's production of mixes out of scratches».
