The Peoples Choice: Music

by Dave Soldier, Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid

supported by

Ayla Cosnett The underbelly of the "end of history" pop-cultural zeitgeist–that repressed animus beneath complacent prosperity that would soon usher in Columbine, Woodstock '99, Dubya, and widespread acclaim for American Beauty–held up to a deliriously sardonic funhouse mirror. And yet it transcends mere novelty status and becomes a compelling piece of music in its own right, almost Brechtian in its perverse theatricality. Favorite track: The Most Unwanted Song.

about

The People's Choice: Music, composed by Dave Soldier with lyrics by Nina Mankin. Written according to results from a poll of over five hundred Americans on their musical tastes. The survey results were used to design two musical compositions, one that would be liked by the greatest number of listeners, and the other that would be intensely disliked by the greatest number of listeners.
