The Art Rimbaud Project is the title of
a double-CD album with English, German and French songs based
on texts by poet Arthur Rimbaud, produced by artists' group ISCH
ART including: Aline Verney (vocals), Michael Korotschenko (musician,
producer), Helmut Halfmann (musician), Martin Diehl (musician,
producer), Roland Scheidel (product designer), Uwe Henke (musician,
producer), Tony Caulfield (vocals), Morten Stefan Lanzenstiel
(vocals), Laureen Warrington (Love Elevator).
In merely 37 years of a life that encompassed a spectrum from
exuberantly exhilarating to crushingly tragic, Jean-Nicholas-Arthur
Rimbaud (20.10.1854 - 10.11.1891) created a body of poetry and
autobiographical texts that were unique and groundbreaking in
their time...and still are today.
Arthur Rimbaud's style has influenced a large number of artists
throughout the times and still continues to do so over a century
after his death. Considered an outcast and rebel by the majority
of his era's society, his genius being appreciated by only a few
while he lived, Arthur Rimbaud is today acknowledged as a visionary,
one of the first proponents of the free verse style and a predecessor
to the surrealists.
The intensity and the timeless emotional impact of Arthur Rimbaud's
work make his poetry the perfect song lyrics. A project aiming
at composing songs based on a selection of Rimbaud's poems was
long predestined to be.
Tony Caulfield did the vocals for some of the songs
and is featured in a music video to go with the song Ich Treibe In Die Blaue
Ewigkeit which is based on Rimbaud's poem Sensations. To download the
music video please visit the Media
page.
Moreover, Tony portrayed and voiced Arthur Rimbaud in a flash-animated
Arthur Rimbaud biography which is featured on the ARP
page of the Voice section of Tony Caulfield.com.
