Celestial Cravings

Dutch ‘avant pop’ composer JacobTV (Jacob ter Veldhuis, 1951)  is considered an ‘outlaw’ in new music, whose work ‘makes many a hip-hop artist look sedate’ (Wall Street Journal).
 

Jacob has been a frontrunner in combining video, multimedia and music for 30 years. With his use of soundbites from documentaries, news items and popular tv-shows he displays a strong affinity with 21st century societal issues such as tragedy, consumerism, substance abuse and international conflict.

In this program Celestial Craving we display Jacob’s more tranquil, heaven-focused side of composition, with his version of William Blake’s epic poem the Garden of Love, through the eerie tranquility of Postnuclear Winterscenario nr 10,  to his more pressing, high-octane fueled works like Pimpin’ and Heartbreakers. At the heart of this program we’ll find  the world premiere of NUTS, JacobTV’s comment on the tragedy of the police murder of George Floyd and the following BLM movement.
