Kabelmann 2 & Die Abschaffung des Todes

For me, music, emotion and color is one true synesthetic entity. I hear colors and feel music. That is why I urge to
make music visible and turn my vision and feelings into colors and structures on canvas.
My medium is acrylic colors situational combined with objects.
I invite viewers to dive into my synesthectical sensations and experience my feelings, emotions and thoughts.

This time I combined my synesthetical sensations of the great songs of Paul Kalkbrenner Kabelmann 2 , with the emotions I had during reading the
book “Die Abschaffung Des Todes” (Andreas Eschbach).

Both themes, the feelings the book gave me, as well as the emotions and visions I had in mind with the Song “ Kabelmann 1&2” matched when I closed my eyes and envisioned the concept.
My first creative step is intuitive and driven by my emotions while listening to the sound. The music guides me, almost like a dance on canvas.
Consecutively I step one step back and condense all thoughts that arise during the end of the previous part. In this phase, I plan details and choose symbols and objects (like the pipes, the glass eye and the LED strips) that express my rational side.

The dark atmosphere from the song as well as the topic of the book is brought to light with black and deep red colors.
Twisted pipes that seem to penetrate the canvas leave a disturbing feeling behind.

One can sense a hidden layer behind the canvas that could lay in a
digital unrevealed world.
Is this undisclosed world a good one and worth to explore?
Will we ever find out?
Do we even dare?
