JacobTV provides personalized introductions to many of his controversial and innovative works and in doing so offers a rare, exclusive insight into the creative process of one of today's most daring composers.
You can hear JacobTV's comments throughout the JacobTV on the Radio festival followed by the pieces in question, from his boombox works, such as Jesus is Coming and Grab it!, through his portraits of pop icons Billie Holliday and Marilyn Monroe and his transformation of politcal and advertising sloganeering to the monumental oratorio Paradiso. Hear the introductions in their entirety here, as part of Q2's permanent, on-demand tribute to JacobTV.
