Breuker, Branca, and Young

Willem Breuker; Glenn Branca; La Monte Young

Breuker, Branca, and Young, numbers 13, 16, and 17 in the list of musicians for the year 2022. None are in the Top 100 (but all have been painted before.) Lots of negative space that begs for writing. I will sign it but I'll leave the writing to someone else.

Giovanna Daffini/Giovanna Marini

The second to last one for the top 100 2022 is a preview of 2023. Both Giovannas are in the Top 100 2023. I bought records of both performers while in Italy: Bella Ciao!

Marion Coutts/Gert-Jan Blom

Marion Coutts is a British sculptor, Gert-Jan Blom a Dutch musician and sound technician. Both played in the Dog Faced Hermans.


 

Wrapping up

Eva Rune/Jennie Tiderman Österberg

The Top 100 2022 paintings are nearly completed. The concept of the series of 100 paintings doesn't allow me to repeat individuals and everybody who needed to get painted had already been painted. For the last few paintings I am resorting to musicians who are listed in secondary lists such as the top 20 musicians, or the top 25 albums, or, like for the painting above, the 20 highest scoring musical traditions (field recordings.) Swedish kulning recordings were number 18 on that list, but not a single recording made it into the regular top 100. The 24 kulning points were neatly divided between two historical recordings (by Erin Lisslass and Karin Edvards-Johansson) and two contemporary ones (Eva Rune and Jennie Tiderman-Österberg.)

Badume's Band: Rudy Blas, Olivier Guénégo, Antonin Volson

Badume's Band is the band behind three separate songs in the list by Selamnesh Zéméné, my favorite concert of 2022. It is time to set a date for the exhibition of the 100 paintings.
