I saw him open for Kool Keith once and he had a roadie whose job was to hand him and take back from him his electric upright bass at key moments in the set. Also he played a little kalimba that made no actual discernable noises whatsoever.

"Occupy Wall Street is a movement of fragments," Miller mused before his set, placing a donated book, his own Rhythm Science, on the library's table. "This whole library project is kind of sampling text."Miller doesn't claim to have followed the Occupy movement very closely. "I travel too much. I'm mostly in Europe and Asia," he said. The idea for the evening came out of emails with Stephen Boyer, one of the movement's librarians, who was recently accepted to the European Graduate School where Miller is on the faculty.

"I want to give a shout out to the People's Library!" Miller said as he took the DJ's podium a few minutes later. "Who brought books to donate tonight?" The audience barely looked up from their cocktails, and Miller launched into his set.

This whole library project is kind of sampling text.
People are still talking about "sampling" as a strategy of 'subversive textuality'?
