Jacob ter Veldhuis (born 14 November 1951), known by the pseudonym Jacob TV, is a Dutch composer of contemporary classical music. Self-described as an "avant-pop composer", Jacob TV's music takes inspiration from Steve Reich, mixing classical music with elements of popular culture in a postmodernist manner.
Life and career
[edit | edit source]Jacob ter Veldhuis was born on 14 November 1951 in Westerlee, Netherlands.[1][2] In his youth, he had a variety of classical, rock, blues and jazz influences.[2]
He studied composition with Willem Frederik Bon and electronic music with Luctor Ponse at the Groningen Conservatory.[1][3]
Music
[edit | edit source]Jacob TV's music includes elements of American popular culture and mass media, in a postmodernist manner.[4] 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,[5] while the musicologist Kevin Lewis described it as Warholian.[4] Midgette also drew connections to the kitsch work of Jeff Koons,[5] a comparison echoed by NRC Handelsblad, who described him as the "Jeff Koons of new music".[6]
Jacob TV describes himself as an "avant-pop composer"; in light of his largely tonal style he remarks: "I pepper my music with sugar".[6]
