ANIMATION

ANIMATION

ODE AN DIE POPMUSIK I – IV is composed by Peer Baierlein and based on popular Pop Songs.

I NORWEGIAN WOOD: The animation is based on the original lyrics of the Song

II Rehab: Describes the alcohol addiction of Amy Winehouse, which is also mentioned in the lyrics of the original Song.

III Hallelujah: Based on some ideas in the original lyrics of the Song, where King David appears.

IV Ring of Fire: Although “Ring of Fire” sounds somewhat ominous, the term refers to falling in love – which is what June Carter (wife of Johnny Cash) was experiencing with Johnny Cash at the time. Some sources claim that June had seen the phrase, “Love is like a burning ring of fire,” underlined in one of her uncle A. P. Carter’s Elizabethan books of poetry. She worked with Kilgore on writing a song inspired by this phrase as she had seen her uncle do in the past. In the 2005 film, “Walk the Line” June is depicted as writing the song while agonizing over her feelings for Cash despite his drug addiction and alcoholism as she was driving home one evening.The song was originally recorded by June’s sister, Anita Carter. After hearing Anita’s version, Cash claims he had a dream where he heard the song accompanied by “Mexican horns”. When the song failed to become a major hit for Anita, Cash recorded it his own way, adding the mariachi-style horns. Four years after the song was released, Carter and Cash were married which Cash states helped to stop his alcohol and drug addictions. Cash’s daughter, Rosanne has stated, “The song is about the transformative power of love and that’s what it has always meant to me and that’s what it will always mean to the Cash children.”

KOMMISSAR MUCKL was originally created as a comics. Muckl is in german language and is based on a parodic idea of the german crime TV serie “Tatort”. Muckl is also inspired by Underground Comix as the “Fabulous Fury Freak Brothers” and the “Peter Punk” character (which appears in a song of the german band “Trio”) is a kind of friend of Muckl or actually more a second character of himself as he wishes to be or he wishes to have been stayed as he was in his youth. The music in this animations is played by BASSOLUTIONS.

MEDITATION is the third piano piece of “avant-dernières pensées” by ERIK SATIE. Satie often wrote some text into the sheet music sometimes to give an idea for the pianist how to play, sometimes a kind of short story to express the music.Satie said that those written words were NOT suposed to read for the audience. In “Meditation” the story is very interesting, even he dedicated this composition to Albert Roussel, this text is actually about himself. Satie called him self a “poet” also he was involved in all arts. He wasn’t always very successfull and he hardly couldn’t live from music, no wonder if he had doubts (“bitter desillusion”). In my animation Satie is the poet, the devil AND the genius. The music is played by MAKROKOSMOS.

WHAT THE LITTLE TULIP PRINCESS IS SAYING is another compositon of ERIK SATIE from the “Children Pieces”. Also this composition has a short story which touched me a lot. The music is played by BASSOLUTIONS

KYRIE V is a composition of Tilo Weber. I made this music clip for the “TILO WEBER QUARTET” from Berlin. The composition is based on a gregorian chant. I made charicatures of the band members, Pope Gregor, Friedrich Nietzsche, John M. Allegro, Frank Zappa and the Flying Spaghetti Monster appearing in this clip.

EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE is a short animation about murder, arbitrary rule, war, nuclear weapons and envirenmental pollution. In short = stupiness of human being

MUCKL NEWS was created for Instagram. End of 2020 the Newspapers wrote more or less only about Trump and Corona. I have chosen Muckl, who opens the newspaper every day until he decides to prefer drinking beer instead of reading news.
