MP3s Of DJ Spooky’s Talk and Performance At The Creative Commons Launch

I’ve made MP3 files of DJ Spooky’s preview of his Birth of a Nation Remix (Edited exactly at the beginning and end of the music track that was played along side of his interactive visual presentation so it can be segued accordingly.)
and
The speaking portion of DJ Spooky’s presentation (This is slightly incomplete in that I don’t have him saying ‘thank you’ and making a few comments that he made at the end of the visual part of the presentation.)

DJ Spooky At The Creative Commons Launch

Here is DJ Spooky’s presentation at the Creative Commons Launch last Monday night.
I know these are big files guys, but I’ll be posting some lower-quality versions a little later today. (These are up now on my index at: http://www.lisarein.com/videoindex.html#spooky.)
(DV experts — please email me directly at lisarein@finetuning.com with suggestions about how to compress these files smaller — I’m committed to perfecting my technique for this stuff!)
I’ll be releasing an MP3 of the music too (from the Birth of a Nation Remix). — And yes, Paul Miller (DJ Spooky) gave me his permission to redistribute all of this stuff into the public domain, so no worries there!
So remember – don’t try to play these in your browser — right click (pd) or click and hold (mac) to download these files to your hard drive and play them from there.
