CITIES CHANGE
THE SONGS OF BIRDS

video speech opera in collaboration with
MULTI MEDIA IMPULS & MUZIEKLAB BRABANT

‘Avant Pop’ composer JacobTV is one of Hollands most successful and engaging composers. His so called boombox works, based on speech melody, became world famous. The ‘Andy Warhol of music’ has recently been accused of ‘musical terrorism.’ The Wall Street Journal wrote: ‘JacobTV’s newest provocative work makes hip hop look sedate’.

CITIES CHANGE THE SONGS OF BIRDS
is a mix of pop, rock, jazz and classical music, of inmates, whores, junkies and beauty: verbal strands of American sound bites melodically woven into his work.

The new JacobTV Band is lined up by eminent Dutch jazz musicians, with classical harpist Lavinia Meijer, who will take you a long a multimedia extravaganza about survival on the fringe of society.

JacobTV is preoccupied with American media and world events and draws raw materials from those sources. His work possesses an explosive strength and raw energy combined with extraordinarily
intricate architectural design.
Limor Tomer, Executive Producer of Music WNYC, former curator of
the Whitney Museum of American Art NYC

His control of energy and momentum is one of his greatest strengths. His music has an exciting sense of drive and purposefulness, emotionally direct, and he possesses an authentic lyrical gift that
never sounds like rehashed Romanticism.
Stephen Eddins, critic of Allmusic.com
