I found DJ Spooky’s works very interesting. He composes piece of music that relates to an image or an idea he wants to express. I especially liked his work titled “Terra Nova” where he composed an acoustic piece that echoes the images and movement of the changing continent. The title “Terra Nova” comes from the name of a British ship that when to Antarctica to explore (and eventually colonize the land) but ended up in a tragic failure. This 70 minute performance  express the beauty of the nature and the political view on the climate change and destruction of the nature. His works usually involve his own composition pieces and some founded sound from scenery.

Bruce Odland’s works shows very different approach from DJ Spooky’s works. Odland works with found sounds and he incorporates the environments he is within to create his pieces. He says that the goal of his works is to feel the space around him and hear it as symphony. He is currently working an a project called “Save the Tank” which he is trying to preserve an abandoned water tank in Western Colorado which creates a magnificent ringing sound when music is played inside of it. This shows he’s idea of working with the space around him and the sounds of the space.
