Background

[1]

The work’s title is a reference to Andy Warhol’s film Vinyl (1965), itself loosely based upon Anthony Burgess’s book A Clockwork Orange. Prina’s film, however, revolves around two Baroque paintings, one by Georges de La Tour (The Muscians’ Brawl, 1625-30), the other by Gerrit van Honthorst (Christ Crowned with Thorns, circa 1620). The film features both a vocal performance and score by the artist, accompanied by a group of musicians and shot in the galleries of the J. Paul Getty Center in Los Angeles, where it was originally commissioned as part of the ‘Departures’ show in 2000.

The soundtrack features three takes. The third take appears in the film.

Lyrics

A musette, fiddle, and a flute A hurdy-gurdy player who seems blinded A fine bunch, yes, I love them all Yet there's a reminder of what is missing A candle flame, a twist of smoke A hand illuminated from behind So that it glows within Skull, cook, robe

What's wrong, Georges? It's impossible Without translucent page and opacity To shield a lantern's fire complete And drive it deep into tenebrosity The night, the night, where is the night? The long dark night of neglect The hidden and the manifest light

I'm out of my head! Where is the hand? When is the mind Body and flame
