“BEETHOVEN AROUND THE CLOCK”
\nPump Up the Volume \u2014 Sound Spots<\/p>\n
A Ludwig van Beethoven with blue hair.<\/p>\n
Perhaps this is how his genius would look if it were to explode today
\n\u2014 a raw more electric, and Fxckin’ more Rock’n’Roll.<\/p>\n
lines turn erratic, curves roll musical.
\nThe drawing itself seems to follow some invisible rhythm,
\nsomewhere between a composition and a jam session.<\/p>\n
Imagine all the people & Beethoven today.
\nNo hell below us,
\nAbove us only sky,
\n& the most extraordinary Rock concerto he Would have written.<\/p>\n
Fragments of the score of “Rock Around the Clock” appear in the collage,
\nsome strokes orchestrated mixed with the drawing,
\nthe wild-musical-paint-spots splashes and the marks in a blue Circus.<\/p>\n
Yes, I brought him together with Bill Haley, for an “hosted event-performance”,
\nanother musical pioneer who helped turn a new kind of “sauvage” into music: The “Rock’n’Roll”.<\/p>\n
Creation remains Chaos\u2026 mastered.
\n“For your visual pleasure \u2014 pump up the volume!!”<\/p>\n
