Marcus Hessenberg and the Tulips vs. Francis Picabia
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
Robert Sutton vs. Hermann Nitsch
Resolution Of Animal Rights!
Genre: Indie
I was inspired because... It depicts blood; which my song represents as the needless death and pain of innocent animals. Non-conforming to social immorality!
The Major Tones vs. Lucio Fontana
Minimum Noise
Genre: funk/jazz/rock
I was inspired because... I was inspired by how much a line could affect someone. Of all the art,this image struck and agrivated me. "Waiting",I was waiting for nothing,but i felt it.
Lenny Picko vs. Max Ernst
Jelly Bean Machine
Genre: Electronica
I was inspired because... 'The mechanical monster' carries a heavy mystery. I imagined it building an army out of found objects and causing distruction.
Little Scratch vs. Robert Rauschenberg
We Should Of Been Ourselves
Genre: New Rock
I was inspired because... Hard to say, I like Rauschenberg's work in general. Something about it caught my eye.
danbeat vs. Emil Nolde
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?
The estate-ians vs. Arnulf Rainer
Mcgovern
Genre: techno
I was inspired because... It looks like a bad nightmare and a horrific scene
U-CEF vs. David Bomberg
MOORISH MATADOR
Genre: World music
I was inspired because... it's the way this artwork was described on your site, and, that's how i describe this track. but the first think that got my attention is the mosaic.
Dark Dayz
Genre: Cross/Grime
I was inspired because... the first time i went to the tate it was one of the few i remember due to its genius
Djtrush vs. Pablo Picasso
Street Life
Genre: Jazz/Triphop
I was inspired because... theres people enjoying themselfs on a nice hot day with the window open hearing the outside noise...
Brassphemy vs. Marlene Dumas
Get a Grip
Genre: Ska punk
I was inspired because... of the peaceful state which 'Lucy' is laying, contrasting with the interpretation of drugs being the possible cause!
Begun
Genre: electronic
I was inspired because... we are heading into it..
