Music
Music
Jacob TV's music includes elements of American popular culture and mass media, in a postmodernist manner. Commentators frequently compare this approach to the visual arts; the music critic Anne Midgette likened it to Pop art, particularly the collages of Tom Wesselmann, while the musicologist Kevin Lewis described it as Warholian. Midgette also drew connections to the kitsch work of Jeff Koons, a comparison echoed by NRC Handelsblad, who described him as the "Jeff Koons of new music". Jacob TV describes himself as an "avant-pop composer"; in light of his largely tonal style he remarks: "I pepper my music with sugar".
