Album Notes

"Die Probleem met Picasso" is a music and film project written by Gerschweyn Matthews. The piece argues that we as individuals are not merely the sum of the choices we make. Rather as Matthews puts it, we are the sum of the experiences we engage in. Experiences shared, informed and ultimately affected by others. Wrapped up in the singer's unusually emotive voice and avant-garde musical sensibility is his powerful narrative styled lyrics. His writing stirs the emotions and grey matter of the listener, effortlessly drawing us into his dark though breathtakingly beautiful musical Universe. "Die Probleem met Picasso" is set to cement this South African born Singer-Songwriter and Film Score Composer as one of our times most acclaimed artists.
