To hear the new album by Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan, you must visit this terrifying painting | CBC Arts LoadedThe ‘situated recording’ made with collaborator Colin Fisher lends a soundtrack to artist William Kurelek’s haunting vision of nuclear attacks on Toronto and Hamilton.It starts with a gasp. The breathy organ sighs a forlorn tune before guitar ignites like a rocket's thruster.
The painting is large, lurid and horrifying — and to hear Greenspan and Fisher's response, you'll need to stand right in front of the gruesome scene. Their recording has been "geo-fenced" to the gallery. It can only be accessed by a QR code posted next to the painting. The project is part of the museum's new digital program to enhance their collection through augmented reality experiences, interviews and artist interventions like this one.
Art is better able to express those emotions than any ideological statement, he adds. "Sometimes you can't really capture the way dread feels like you can with music."
