Etude [08] – The Chimpansee

De sjimpansee doet niet mee
Waarom doet de sjimpansee niet mee
De sjimpansee
is
ziek van de zee
Er gaat zoveel water in de zee
meent de sjimpansee

The chimpansee will not join in
Why will the chimpansee not join in
The chimpansee
is
sick of the sea
There goes so much water into the sea
thinks the chimpansee

Paul van Ostaijen [1896-1928], Berceuse presque nègre [1928]

The Etudes are created using the programs from my DOS Lab and are then accompanied by a video. This is the opposite approach to film music, which is always made once the images already exist. There is always one subject in these compositions, and the image relates to it. The sounds are generated by a simple MIDI sound card from the DOS system.
