>
> 'At First Sight' is the new artist album from techno superstar Jeff Mills.
> The album is 13 tracks of visionary techno & sci-fi drama in pure
> Mills-style. His fans will know 'At First Sight' is his first full artist
> album for sometime. As each piece of music to come from his studio is
sought
> after & carefully collected, 13 tracks of brand new material is bound to
> cause a stir. In his own words, "'At First Sight' is an indispensable map.
> It is a collection and/or trail of Sci-Fi works that I have been wishing
to
> release for many years." Never one for trivial forms of expression (that's
> not to say his dj sets don't rock!), Jeff's current work was inspired and
> influenced by Time, the Twilight Zone, Harmonic, Dreaming, expanding Black
> Matter in our Universe, the 'What If' series by Marvel Comics, Black Holes
&
> M87, and creating music through forcing the hands to act as tools.
>
> Jeff's most recent visit to London was for the UK debut of 'Metropolis'.
> Inspired by Fritz Lang's silent film "Metropolis" (1926), Mills recorded
his
> own soundtrack for the hugely influential classic film. The music - a
> grandiose transmission of traditional orchestral interpretation and
> electronic soundtrack(s) - matched Lang's master-vision of the Utopian
Dream
> narrative; passionate and timeless. The screening at London's Royal
> Festival Hall in May 2002 was sold out, and the reception rapturous. it
has
> shown all over the world at more than 50 locations with future showings
> including the Vienna film festival in August 2002 and daily showings at
the
> Museum of Music in Paris from November 2002 for one year.
>
> Upcoming projects:
>
> Film: The film is called "Mesmerized". With a beautiful unknown talent
from
> Lisbon, Jeff Mills creates a series of short experimental films. With
> filming locations in Barcelona and Detroit, a debut of this work should be
> revealed in the near future (early 2003).
>
> Book: An AXIS book is in a process of being published. Showcasing designs
> used within the past 10 years of Axis along with released film
information,
> never-seen before projects that still lay firmly on the drawing boards at
> Axis
>
> Film Soundtracks: Compositions of Jeff Mills will be heard within a French
> film entitled "Vendredi Soir" ("Friday Night") directed by the acclaimed
and
> well-respected director Claire Denis. This film is due out later this
year.
>
> Museum Exhibits: The Detroit History Museum is underway creating an
> exhibition about the contribution of the Detroit Techno Scene to the World
> of Music. A special section of this exhibition will be devoted to the most
> influential figures, The Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard (Jeff Mills).
The
> Exhibition should be complete by mid-2003
