Original Paintings
Martin's friend was inspired to compose a piece music, when Martin sent him a picture of the CARBON 12 painting below.
"Here's CARBON audio - 4 minutes of retro-futurist darkness, covering the fusion of the basic building blocks of humans and their technology in 120.1 bars at 120.1 bpm and in the 6th mode of the C scale.
A big sound system with dedicated subwoofer is recommended so that you can properly 'feel' the ambience/ claustrophobia and pulse. It is also
'very' stereo so good headphones on quite loud will also work well..."
'Carbon 12' acrylic on boxed canvas 111x142 cm 2014
Artist's description
Set in an open clean seascape this is not a religious painting more a look at human mortality.
The large face of the Son of God is a reference to another existence other than that of our ultimate fragility.
The X-Rayed brain image is our very best computer and the silhouetted figure suggest another possible era of human
development where our life cycle is more designed around an artificial intelligence whereupon our lives are more controlled, allowing our very souls and imaginations to flourish without worry.
Mortal organic beings we humans are.
