Inspired by the work of Frank Zappa as a composer, this work features sound at the very time and place of it's emergence. It's an artistic experiment, of course, trying to follow the phenomenological theory of sounds being located at or near their place of origin. This location is the keyboard of Zappas late instrument, the Synclavier, that is to say the effective area where the fingertips touch the key's plastic. The music I was working with came from an album called "Jazz from Hell", and the images in my mind were driven by impressions from the Zappa-documentary "Peefeeyatko". 

The work's support is of medium density fiberboard. The work is ready to hang due to a simple cabinet mount inserted on the backside.

As honest as possible, with all wits and senses, with body and soul, layer by layer from the primal ground towards a surprising imagery off the beaten tracks. German artist and musician Christian Kabuß studied Medicine before he went on to Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design Budapest. The artistic language within his paintings is linked to a phenomenological approach to bodiliness, the freedom of the subconscious, and the theoretical and practical considerations of Design. Kabuß has exhibited in Germany and abroad. His works are present in regional, national and international collections. Like his art, his music is freely played and portrays a sense of a parallel-world.
