"A unique collaboration between a musician and a painter: Sean O'Hagan/The High Llamas and Jean Pierre Muller. The Musical Painting can be described as a large picture composed of wooden shapes that fit into one another. It produces its own soundtrack but with a distinctive novelty - it is the viewer who, by playing with the moveable parts of the painting, is in fact the conductor of the piece. This unique fusion between vision and sound is the fruit of the collaboration between Sean O'Hagan's 'The High Llamas' (U.K.) and the artist Jean Pierre Muller (B). The two creators worked closely together on this project, Sean O'Hagan creating an original symphony by mixing acoustic instruments (strings, brass,...), electronic sounds and urban noises, and Jean Pierre Muller by providing the visual element with its flexible geometry." This release takes the form of a beautiful book cataloguing images from the first two installations, accompanied by an enhanced CD containing music from the same shows.
