Presented in association with the Whitney Museum of American Art's exhibition "Beat Culture and the New America: 1950-65," this disc includes original master recordings by Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane; excerpts from over twenty underground films by Kenneth Anger, Stan Brakhage, Maya Deren, and others by and about William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other key figures of the Beat generation. More than just an anthology, the CD-ROM brings the roots of contemporary art and culture to life through specially designed graphics by Sue Coe, Kevin Kerslake, Stephen Kroninger, Gary Panter, and Suzan Pitt, as well as provocative explorations into sexuality and intoxication integral to the Beat experience.

The Beat Experience was a multi-part project that included a one hour documentary about the Beat generation included in the the Whitney Museum of American Art’s exhibition Beat Culture as well as the first interactive museum catalogue, a CD-ROM for the exhibition, and a companion CD, “Offbeat”, featuring contemporary tracks inspired by the Beats including a collaboration between the legendary poet Amiri Baraka and DJ Spooky. It also was a groundbreaking exploration of the seminal DJ culture emerging at the time with tracks by DJ Krush, Skylab, and Moby.
