On the CD box trilogy of his works, JacobTV's orchestral music resembles Jeff Koons in its earnest explorations of kitsch. His boombox pieces, for solo instruments and speech grooves audio, are limning the outlines of larger-than-life American figures in a pop idiom with digital sampling and DJ-like repetitions. And there is an overarching element of Henri Rousseau: the bright colors and slightly crude outlines of a folk artist. JacobTV's control of energy and momentum is one of his music's greatest strengths. His fast-moving pieces have an exciting sense of drive and purposefulness, and his more meditative pieces have a logic and quiet intensity that keep them from being meandering or static. Emotionally direct, he possesses an authentic lyrical gift that never sounds like rehashed Romanticism.
