Selected compositionsof JacobTV
JacobTV
EducationDutch ‘avant pop’ composer JacobTV started as a rock musician
and studied composition and electronic music; he won the
Composition Prize of the Netherlands in 1980. He became a full
time composer and soon made a name for himself with melodious
compositions, straight from the heart and with great effect.
‘I pepper my music with sugar,’ he says.
The press has called him the ‘Andy Warhol of new music’ and
his ‘coming-out’ as a composer of ultra-tonal, mellifluous music
reached its climax with the video oratorio Paradiso (2001) based
on Dante’s Divina Commedia. In the last 2 decades, JacobTV’s
so-called ‘boombox’ works, for live instruments with a grooving
sound track based on speech melody, became internationally
popular.
In 2007 an anthology of his work on CD/DVD was released at a
three-day JacobTV festival at the Whitney Museum of American
Art in New York City. JacobTV is still considered an ‘outlaw’ in new
music, whose work ‘makes many a hip-hop artist look sedate’
(Wall Street Journal). He started a never ending reality opera THE
NEWS which is constantly updated and performed by ensembles
in Chicago, Rome, Amsterdam, LA, Hamburg New York and the
Netherlands. He was the first to re-ceive the BUMA Classical
Award, as the best Dutch classical export product in 2015.
