Ingjerds world...

Oscar Wilde once wrote "I am not young enough to know everything". I guess I am neither old enough, nor young enough, but we twentysomethings try our best to get a grasp of this world - and with that I welcome you to MY world: You are free to crash. This is a place publish curious thoughts and recent events - some personal stuff, but mainly about music and technology.

The Chemical Brothers vs. Jacob Epstein

Tate Modern invited The Chemical Brothers to walk around the gallery and find a work of art that would inspire them to write a track.

It was Jacob Epstein's Torso in Metal from 'The Rock Drill' that grabbed their attention. It's a menacing sculpture made out of bronze. The Chemical Brothers said that they wanted to 'capture the latent feeling of force that the figure has'. The result is their latest track, The Rock Drill.

Listen to the track here and read more about the artwork.

More tracks to come include The Long Blondes and Klaxons.

A human torso and a drill sound are featured in the track "It Began in Afrika," which is about the genetic-engineering of the human species by the Anunnaki from Nibiru 300,000 years ago in South Eastern Africa. Perhaps the titles and imagery at the Tate triggered the Chemical Brothers'
interest either consciously or unconsciously. Thank you
