The Viperīs Secret, 2006 260 x 400 x 95; diverse Techniken mit Frankfurter Price: 6.000,- Euro Somehow I thought I had to do more with music because I had the feeling I could eat it. So I found my way to work on SYNESTHESIA-MUSICBOXES. Tiny Tim box is called The Viperīs Secret and was finished in 2006. Tiny Tim was one of the first artist that at first sounded a little strange and so much interesting that I had heard when I was a Teenie. His records had itīs place near Beefheart and Zappa in my room. I thought Tiny to be sensationell the more I listened to the first 3 albums. His duets were smashing especially his performance on "For all my little friends" convinced me of a fine line between music and humour. Tiny Tims first hit-record was a cover-version of the Nick Lucas song Tiptoe through the tulips", far back in the 20ies. Since that time I always saw the colours red and green when I listened to Tiny Timīs great recordings.
In his head Tiny Tim had a encyclopedia of the Amerian "light" music from
the very beginning. He probably could play the whole Tin Pan Alley with his
ukulele! His carreer, so I was told, started as a transvestite in a
Lesbian-Club! God bless him!"
