Sleeve notes by Henk Hofstede are presented on the back cover in French, English, German and Dutch:
From December 1984 till April 1985 the Museum of Modern Art* in Amsterdam presented the exhibition "La Grande Parade". Taking its name from a painting by Fernand Léger it offered a panoramic view of post-1940 painting with artists like Miró, Picasso, Bacon, Rothko, Léger and Beckmann. Amazed at the magnificance of these works of art, I started thinking about organising a project similar to Mussorgsky's "Pictures from an Exhibition": music inspired by paintings. In this case pop music in the broadest sense.
I invited composers and musicians that I admire to write a song each based on their favourite painting of "La Grande Parade". They were granted almost completely freedom: theirs was the choice of musicians, styles and sounds they wanted to use. There was however one restriction: each artist was given one day only to record this song in the studio.
Within this strict frame composers and musicians have succeeded in creating eleven totally different pieces of music, whilst often leaving their usual musical backgrounds. Al of the artists involved in this project contributed new material written especially for this album based on a general theme.
It is the aim of Werf Records to produce one such album a year with a thematic approach, using different musicians and composers. This is the first one... about painting and music.
