2005 saw the release of “Drums of Death”, DJ Spooky’s CD based on sessions he recorded with Dave Lombardo of Slayer. Other guest artists include Chuck D. of Public Enemy and Vernon Reid of Living Color. The record was co-produced by Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto. DJ Spooky is also a professor of music mediated art at the European Graduate School where he co-teaches (with Michael Schmidt) Intensive Summer Seminars in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. His most recent projects have included The Sounds of Katrina, an experience of the city of New Orleans through words and music as the city prepared to celebrate Mardi Gras. Also, a DJ Spooky video shot and instructional interview are featured on the new Microsoft site called Crossfader.com, that aims to become a resource and guide for DJs and electronic musicians using PCs, rather than Macintosh computers.
