Tate is delighted to announce that the winner of the
Your Tate Track music competition is three piece indie band Kotki Dwa! The
judging panel of top musicians Graham Coxon, Basement Jaxx, Roll Deep and
Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens selected the Kotki Dwa track Le Beau Charcutier as
their favourite from the 20 finalists.
Your Tate Track was a music competition aimed at unsigned bands and musicians aged between 16 - 24. We asked unsigned musicians to choose a work of art from a selection on display at Tate Modern and then to write a track in response to it. The public voted on submitted tracks and the 20 most popular went before the judging panel.
Listen to Kotki Dwa and 20 finalists by clicking the
link to their MySpace page. You can also hear the winning track via a listening
post at Tate Modern next to the piece that inspired it, The Handsome Pork
Butcher by Francis Picabia.
Le Beau Charcutier
Genre: Sad
I was inspired because...
Le Beau Charcutier is so handsome but so sad. What a special effort he makes with himself. He would give anything to be your friend.
All The Lights Are On
Genre: Acoustic
I was inspired because...
It shows a city that is silent and still - a hazy memory of a time past - a relationship lost...
Freedom
Genre: Ambient
I was inspired because...
The multiple images and thoughts conveyed in the painting suggest philosophical confusion and frustration, emotions to which I can relate.
Venus Forge
Genre: Ambient
I was inspired because...
of the aesthetic nature of the piece; the unusual, challenging form of expression; the ability (not need) to be different.
Filament
Genre: Alternative/Electronic
I was inspired because...
It is the personification of the city, and the relationship the built environment can have on the imagination. The image is in limbo and stuck in uncertainty.
Memories of The Space Age
Genre: Indie Rock
I was inspired because...
Like The Ultimate Planet this song is a collage. Taking a lead from Ballard and inspiration for lyrics from These New Puritans. Dealing with the idea of time becoming elastic in the media age.
Hole
Genre: Acoustic
I was inspired because...
Religious honesty. Pain of angels. The reality that they arnt as holy as they seem. Satan is an angel.
dinosaurs having a party
Genre: Dino-fuzz
I was inspired because...
its big and bright and if us dinosaurs were still around we would be happy to party in it!
Delta Rain
Genre: Film Music/Ambient
I was inspired because...
It gives a feeling of nostalgia and fear within a familiar place while conveying regular days that blend together into redundancy
Town
Genre: Rock
I was inspired because...
Everything about this photo makes me think of the vibarant night life that London has and goes well with "Town"
Blue Lullaby
Genre: Ambient
I was inspired because...
It was deeply and darkly mysterious. The soft moonlight represents my voice surrounded by the hard atmosphere.
Yonder
Genre: Electronic
I was inspired because...
The underbelly is often where I find my inspiration.
A tense sea, A golden sky. What lies above, beyond or below?
Portrait of A Doctor
Genre: Psych Pop
I was inspired because...
I love the textures and the idea that a doctor who we should trust is obscured from view. True Story.
Must Be Love
Genre: Piano
I was inspired because...
The use of block colours sat side by side made me realise sometimes the most beautiful things in life are so simple and always around us, so I created something that made me as happy as life does.
suspended
Genre: Other Electronic Acoustic
I was inspired because...
Melancholy conveyed through this painting and my music coincide through the emotion of nostalgia and reminiscence.
Attend My Funeral
Genre: Pop Punk/Emo/Pop Rock = Punkmo!
I was inspired because...
I've made mistakes in life! Combining these two elements is a way of sacrificing myself, to become a better person.
Gimme Some
Genre: Alternative
I was inspired because...
layers reassembled new patterns and textures a world of fluids circulating women's bodies flattened and exposed subverting accepted ideals sexuality femininity
Northwest Drift
Genre: Experimental/Electronica/Minimalism
I was inspired because...
A landscape built of so many different grey sections all trying to burst out to achieve individuality. This is exactly what I aspire to create with my music
Hold On To Me
Genre: Rock
I was inspired because...
I wanted to help the girl who I feel is spirralling down into depression, kept in the dark
haven't decided
Genre: Electronica
I was inspired because...
I was impressed by the dynamic of the piece,a very rigid structure at first glance, but when you look closer it seems to flow.
