what purpose does it serve to speculate whether a particular music will last or if people will care years after we pass away? sure, it might not resonate for some people personally and some might object to the appropriation of samples from American pop culture, but there are those, myself included, who see a question and kindness in the ways in which tragic elements (from a Jerry Springer confrontation or depleted Marilyn Monroe) in an overwhelming and desensitizing media landscape are transformed and beatified through his music.

I think you have to respect the work, that perhaps only a foreigner is capable of, to show us just how powerful and tragic sound bytes can pass unrecognized through our collective awareness. Where some see exploitation, i think an argument can be made for empathy.

Plus, just musically speaking, some of the pieces are heartbreaking (no pun intended).

Sorry, this guy leaves me cold. The questiuon for music is will it last? Who will care in 100 years? Better yet, will it outlast the Rolling Stones?

High quality stuff. Entertaining, ear grabbing and high quality.

La Lucerna del Mondo is wonderfully creative. What a head TV is. He can eat up traditional orchestrations and go out to Mars as well. Bravo, Jacob.

Ciao, Jacob,
I'm looking forward to this festival on Q2, & hearing more about your music & art.
How 'bout sharing a few Zottes & Columbus ~ at the center of the world ~ with the gnomes up & peering into the kettles

I love Jacob's work - he helps enunciate the absurdities in so many of the talking heads in the media these days. It's refreshing stuff.
